Summer Travel Guide to Qushan Island

The tourist destination recommended by the editor today is a relatively niche tourist destination, which is Qushan Island in Zhoushan, Zhejiang. Many people may not be familiar with it and may not even know how to read it. The editor was not sure at first, but then I knew it was homophonic to the tune! In summer, this is a great place to escape the heat. So, let’s learn the strategy here!

Travel Guide

Guanyin Fairy Mountain

When it comes to tourism here on Qushan Island, we must talk about Guanyin Mountain here. Guanyin Mountain is an excellent viewing place for Qushan Island. If you come here, you can definitely see the beautiful scenery of Qushan Island!

This is the commanding height of the island and the highest peak in Dai County. Surrounded by clouds and mist, the scenery is charming and the clouds and mist are surging, just like a fairyland.

Moreover, there is also a Guangji Temple here. Although the incense is not as strong as Putuo Mountain in Zhejiang, the buildings here are also antique and quieter than the environment. Occasionally a few believers will appear here!

The most famous thing here is the nearly 1,000 white marble Buddha statues, which are majestic. If you want a quiet place then this is definitely a good choice!

Small fishing villages

There are many small fishing villages on Qushan Island, so the editor will introduce some of them to you. The first thing I want to introduce to you is Shuishui Village. The houses here were built on the top of the latter's hill, but due to traffic problems, the people living here gradually left over time. Now there are green plants all around, the environment is fresh and full of green! All vegetation grows naturally and is very fresh and natural!

The second thing I want to talk about is Shiliang Village here. This is the most beautiful place to watch the sunrise. The house is built by the sea. As long as you open the window, you can see the blue sea, very beautiful! Let you be in a good mood all day long!

In addition, in the back hill of Shiliang Village, there are various windmills, which are said to be imported from the Netherlands. The wind blows gently, these windmills creak, the years are quiet and very comfortable!

***Zhi Town

Qushan Island has beautiful scenery, but don’t forget that this is also the “hometown of tribute salt”. There are thousands of meters of salt fields on the ground, and sea salt has been piled up hill. Under the blue sky and white clouds, I suddenly feel very holy!

The entire Qushan Island is white, just like the snow scene in winter!

In addition to these salt farms being a source of income for the villagers, there is also fishing here. The villagers work at sunrise and rest at sunset. After nightfall, many people like to have a seafood feast at the beachside stalls here!
