Dongshan Island is a very beautiful scenic spot, which gives people a quiet and peaceful feeling. If you want to go to a scenic spot that can bring you peace, then Dongshan Island is definitely not to be missed. Let's go and have a look together now. How to get to Dongshan Island
As for transportation, I'm afraid this is the place I want to vomit Dongshan Island most. I can only take the bullet train to Yunxiao Station, and then transfer to the shuttle bus from Yunxiao to Dongshan, which is the only bus line. You can choose to get off at Xipu Town Station or Tongling Town Station by bus. Personally, I suggest getting off at Tongling Town, because the main attractions are concentrated here. In addition, I found that there is no bus from Tongling Town to Jinluanwan Beach and Sufeng Mountain Island Road in Dongshan Island. If tourists want to reach these places, they can only reach them by three-wheeled motorcycles, * * * electric cars and Didi taxis, which is more or less inconvenient, so it is better to use go on road trip if possible, and the roads in Dongshan Island are well-repaired. Except Dongmenyu and Yugu Shazhou, other attractions can be reached by car. It is understood that there will be a mobile station in Dongshan Island in a few years, and Zhangzhou Airport may land here. At that time, Dongshan Island is likely to become the second Sanya, so if you want to experience the real island tour, I will send you two words "early".
Live like this and visit like that
—— Love humanities and live in Tongling
In recent years, with the vigorous development of tourism in Dongshan Island, hotels and homestays have mushroomed, and the prices in off-season and peak season are quite different, so it is better to travel in off-season if the time can be arranged. If you like cultural landscapes and places of interest, then it is recommended to stay at the homestay in Dingjie and Park Street of Tongling Town. From the point of view of cleanliness, hygiene and economy, I personally recommend the Yihe Sketch Inn located at No.99 Park Street, which is located at the end of Dongshan Park Street, only 3 minutes' walk from Guandi Temple, the necessary punching point in Dongshan Island, and 5 minutes' walk from Fengdong Stone. If you want to see the sea, it is only 5 minutes' walk to the nearest South Gate Bay. The price is the key point. It is worth mentioning that Yihe Sketch Inn used to be the seat of Tongling Middle School. After renovation, the exhibition hall of Dongshan Oil Painting Academy is now opened on the first floor of the building. Staying here is not only convenient for visiting nearby scenic spots, but also for enjoying oil paintings by famous artists from all over the country. It is really killing two birds with one stone.
If you have more budget and want to stay in a taller hotel, personally, the Island Language Hotel not far from Yihe Sketch Inn is also a good choice. It used to be the location of Hunan Satellite TV's Here We Come Dongshan Station, and it is a veritable online celebrity hotel. Tongling town
Tongling town is an ancient cultural city with a history of more than 611 years. It is known as the "seaside Zou Lu" and is the economic and cultural center of Dongshan County. It is also the hometown of Huang Daozhou, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, and Ma Zhaolin, a painter in the Qing Dynasty. The Nanmei Academy (Wengong Temple) is the lecture place of Zhu Xi, a master of Neo-Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty, and the Guandi Temple in Tongling is the ancestral temple of Xiangyuan in more than 471 Guandi temples in Taiwan Province. Dongshan's pneumatic stone ranks first among more than 61 pneumatic stones in the country with its strangeness, danger and suspension, and is known as "the first wonder stone in the world".
In addition, Tongling Town also has Dongshan Oil Painting Academy, the sketch creation and academic seminar base of Fujian Artists Association and Fujian Oil Painting Society, the only "anti-Japanese machine memorial" rare in China, Dongming Temple, the lowest temple in the country, and several shooting locations of the film Left Ear in Nanmenwan, etc. Compared with watching the sunrise from the sea, I personally think that Tongling Town's profound history and culture are more worth seeing and understanding, so if you come to Dongshan Island to travel, you'd better arrange to stay in Tongling Town on the first day.
Take the route of my third visit to Dongshan Island as an example. On the first day, I arrived in Tongling Town at 1: 31 noon, stayed at Yihe Sketch Inn and took a break. Depart at 12: 31, stroll along Park Street towards the oldest top street in Tongling Town, pass through the rows of Ming and Qing buildings along the way, see the old houses with mottled walls, and feel the long history and profound cultural heritage of Tongling Town. Dingjie seems to be short, but it has a history of more than 611 years. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were more than 11 Jinshi here, including Huang Daozhou and Tang Yi, who are familiar to everyone, and now more than 11 former residences of celebrities have been well preserved.
I took photos while walking. It took me about 1 hours to walk between Park Street and Top Street. I think it's time to have a full meal. On the recommendation of a friend, I went to the online celebrity store "Chen Shujia's Fish Pill Store" on Sufeng Road 1 to have lunch. The boss is a young man who finished college in Taiwan Province and returned to his hometown to start a business. He has his own ideas. Fish balls started from his grandparents, so they can also be called local time-honored brands. While inheriting the previous generation, he has also continuously added more innovations and changes. Now, "Chen Shujia's fish ball shop" is ready to open a third branch in Dongshan Island. In addition to the fish balls that must be ordered, I personally recommend you to try mangoes, sea flowers and Shao Shao Shao. Although the price is a little expensive, it is really delicious.
I still choose to walk back to Yihe Sketch Inn from Chen Shujia's fish ball shop. The difference is that this route is not to take Dingjie and Gongyuan Street, but to go around Nanmenwan through Shuichan Road and walk along Nanmenhai seawall towards Fisherman's Wharf. If you are not sure about the direction, you might as well visit mobile navigation. In fact, there are only a few roads. It is not difficult to tell. When I arrived at the South Gate seawall, it was almost 4 pm. You can go in and have a look at the Baosheng Emperor through Zhenjun Palace, and Little Square in front of Zhenjun Palace is the location of the movie Left Ear. As the sky gets dark, the South Gate seawall is getting busy. Say goodbye to the roasting during the day. Both tourists and locals will come here to enjoy the sea breeze. After nightfall, it is also a good idea to go around the Fisherman's Wharf.
It was past 9 pm when I returned to Yihe Sketch Inn. After washing, I went to bed, because I had to get up early the next day to eat a bowl of rice balls, a special breakfast in Dongshan Island. The method of making rice balls is not complicated, that is, crushing the rice, then slowly boiling it into rice paste with low fire, and finally adding salt and scallion oil, and stirring it to eat. It is said that fishermen in Dongshan Island eat a bowl of rice balls every day before going out to sea, because the rice balls are collected earlier, so if you want to try them, try to get to the rice ball stall before 7 o'clock.
When you come to Dongshan Island, Fengdong Stone Scenic Area is a must-see spot. It is the main scenic spot of Dongshan Island and a national 4A-level tourist scenic spot with a total area of 1.51 million square meters. In the past dynasties, famous people frequently went to Tongshan to see the sea and watch the wind, and left many poems and praises. Zhong Lingxiu is blessed with scenic spots all over Tongling, and most of these scenic spots are in the Fengdong Stone Scenic Area. I finished eating rice balls. Although it is still early, the Fengdong Stone Scenic Area has been open to tourists since 7: 11 in the morning, so entering the scenic area early can not only avoid the heat, but also avoid the peak of tourists. The Fengdong Stone Scenic Area is not large. The main scenic spots are Tongling Guandi Temple, Baozhi Temple, Fengdong Stone, Dongshan County Museum, Huang Daozhou Memorial Hall, Monument Gallery, Wooden plank road, etc., which can be visited in about three hours.
It's almost past ten o'clock in the morning after visiting the Fengdong Stone Scenic Area. Although it's getting hot, I decided to take a boat trip to Dongmenyu. Dongmenyu, also known as Tayu, covers an area of nearly 1 square kilometers. It is an island with an approximate "earth" shape. It is located outside the east gate of Tongshan Ancient City. It is famous for its strange reefs, mellow caves and numerous historical sites. It is listed as one of the top ten scenic spots in Fujian Province, Gulangyu Island in Xiamen, Jiangxinyu Island in Wenzhou and Lanyu Island in Taiwan Province, and is also known as the four famous islands in China. The Journey to the West, Love in the Sea, Crossing the Sea by Eight Immortals and other films and TV plays have all been filmed in Dongmenyu.
Although the area of Dongmen Island is not large, it will take at least two or three hours to visit it. It's past one o'clock in the afternoon when I return to Yihe Sketch Inn. I packed my luggage and checked out. After finding a place to fill my stomach, I set off for Jinluan Mingdu Seaview Apartment in Jinluan Bay, where I stayed on the second night of my trip to Dongshan Island.
watch the sunrise from the sea and live in Jinluan Bay
If you prefer natural scenery and want to watch the sunrise and the sea purely and surf on the beach, then I will not hesitate to recommend everyone to stay in Jinluan Bay. Although there are many bays in Dongshan Island, Jinluan Bay and Sufeng Mountain are recognized as the best places to watch the sunrise, and there are few hotels and lodging in Sufeng Mountain, so Jinluan Bay is the best choice. When I visited Dongshan Island for the third time, I specially arranged for a day to stay in the seaview apartment in the Jinluanmingdu real estate near Jinluanwan, because it happened to be in the center of Jinluanwan, with a particularly wide view and an invincible seascape. Sitting on the balcony of the room, you can see the beautiful sunrise. Stay here, just a few minutes' walk to the beach of Jinluan Bay, where the sea and beach are particularly clean and there are few tourists, which gives me the feeling that it is far better than Maluan Bay.
Watching the sunrise is the next day, and the beauty of Jinluan Bay is not limited to the sunrise. It is also a happy and interesting thing to walk on the beach and chase the waves in the evening. Here, I would like to remind you to do a good job in sun protection, especially in summer, when it is still hot from 8: 11 am to 3: 11 pm. You should use any sunscreen, sun hat and skin clothes to avoid sunburn. If I had a choice, I wouldn't go to the beach at this time, because I really couldn't Hold it. At first, I wanted to go back to my apartment for the summer, but I happened to find a coffee shop called "Arts" in Jinluanmingdu, so I discussed with my friends and decided to blow air conditioning, have a cold drink and tell the old story. When the sun went down, I went to Jinluanwan to "count the waves one after another".
As the sun sets, Jinluan Bay at six o'clock in the evening looks particularly gentle and charming. Although it's not the first time for me to see the sea, every time I come to the seaside, I can always play with the waves with an open heart like a child, and look at the people around me, too. I think this is the charm of the sea. The endless sea is so big that people can see their own smallness that they can forget all their troubles first. During my visit to Jinluan Bay this time, I was lucky to see that local fishermen are using the ancient fishing method "Lashan Net" to catch their nets. It is precisely because of this group of hardworking and simple Dongshan Island fishermen that we foreign tourists can taste all kinds of delicious seafood.
When it comes to eating seafood, it's right to come to Dongshan Island, because it is the intersection of the famous Minnan fishing ground and the eastern Guangdong fishing ground. It is rich in all kinds of seafood, and the most popular one is Xiao Guan. There are many seafood restaurants and seafood stalls in Dongshan Island, and the prices are fairly reasonable. At least there will be no cheating like Sanya and Qingdao. If you stay in an apartment hotel with a kitchen, you can also go to the vegetable market to buy some seafood to cook. During the three days and two nights in Dongshan Island, seafood made me doubt my life, which was really enjoyable. If you ask me where to eat seafood, if I want to be tall, I will go to Chunqiu Benwei. This restaurant is the first brand of Dongshan catering, and its popularity and reputation are very high. Of course, the price will be higher. If you want mass consumption, go to Yanjie food stall. Mass consumption is enough, but the dining environment will be relatively noisy. If you like excitement, you will come here.
In order to watch the sunrise, I came to Jinluan Bay early the next day. Unfortunately, the clouds were a little thick, so I didn't see the moment when the sun rose from the sea. However, the changing levels of sky colors and the moment when the sun suddenly appeared from the clouds still made me jump for joy. It is worth mentioning that the seawater and beaches of Jinluan Bay are relatively clean. Under the sunlight, the beaches of Jinluan Bay can see the mirror-like reflection effect, and the photos taken at hand have beautiful light and shadow effects.
After watching the sunrise in Jinluan Bay, you can go back to the hotel to sleep for a long time. If you are not sleepy, you can go to the island road around Sufeng Mountain to look out at the sea. Sufeng Mountain is 274 meters above sea level, which is the main peak of Dongshan Island, and Sufeng Mountain Island Road is built by the mountain and the sea, which is not only a good place to watch the sea and watch the sunrise, but also a beautiful landscape, especially at the corner, which has become a place where many people come to Dongshan Island to punch in.
Yanya Village is really not easy to find if you don't have the intention to look for it. Many people have missed Yanya Village when they came to Dongshan Island. Go straight along the island road around Sufeng Mountain, and when you get to the junction of beautiful Jinluan Bay and Donggu Bay, you will find an inconspicuous road sign, which is where Yanya Village, the most primitive fisherman village in Dongshan Island, entered. Yanya village has not been connected with running water so far. You can imagine how primitive and simple it is here. Most of the younger generation choose to migrate and go out to work, while the old people who insist on waiting here are probably used to the grass, trees and sea here. Accustomed to this thing, I can't explain it, but I have been entangled with everyone for a lifetime.
