Dongshan Island in Xiamen is a very beautiful place, if the weather is better, watching the sunset on the beach is really a very beautiful scene. Dongshan Island is not exactly full of attractions, but they are all very worthwhile to enjoy.

About the transportation, this is afraid that I want to spit the most Dongshan Island a place, take the train can only sit to Yunxiao station, and then transfer to Yunxiao to Dongshan special line bus, and there is only so much of a 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 Dongshan Island does not open Tongling Town to Jinluan Bay Beach, Sufeng Mountain Island Road and other attractions of the bus, tourists who want to arrive at these places can only be through the three-wheeled motorcycle, *** enjoy the electric car and drip taxi and other means of transportation to arrive, more or less still some inconvenience, so the best if you have the conditions of the best is to drive, and the road on the island of Dongshan Island are quite good, in addition to the Dongmenyu Island and the fishbone sandbar need to be Except for Dongmenyu Island and Fishbone Sandbar, which require a boat ride, all other attractions can be reached by car. It is understood that Dongshan Island in a few years will be built with a train station, and Zhangzhou airport may also be landed here, by then Dongshan Island is likely to become the second Sanya, so if you want to experience the real island tour, I send you two words "before it is too late".

1. love humanities, live in Tongling

In the past few years with the booming development of tourism on Dongshan Island, hotels and B&Bs are also springing up, off-season and peak-season price difference is quite a bit, so if it is the time to arrange to come, naturally off-season travel is even better. If you like the human landscape, places of interest, then it is recommended to choose to stay in Tongling Town, the top of the street and the Park Street area of the bed and breakfast, from the point of view of cleanliness and hygiene and affordable, I personally recommend the Park Street, located in No. 99 of the art of writing inn, which is located in the end of the Park Street in Dongshan Island, Dongshan Island, must be to the card to hit the point of Guandi Temple is only a 3-minute walk to the Windstone is also just 5 minutes, if you want to see the sea, the nearest walk to Nanmen Bay is also just 5 minutes. If you want to see the sea, it takes only 5 minutes to walk to the nearest Nanmen Bay. The key point is that the price is relatively affordable, so most people can accept it. It is worth mentioning that the Yiho Sketch Inn was once the location of Tongling Middle School, after restoration, the first floor of the building is now open for the exhibition hall of the Dongshan Oil Painting Institute, stay here, not only to go to the nearby attractions to play conveniently, but also to enjoy the oil paintings from famous artists from all over the country, it is really a two-in-one solution.

If you have a bigger budget and want to stay in a more upscale hotel, I personally think that the Island Language Hotel, not far from the Yiho Sketchbook Inn, which used to be the setting for Hunan TV's "We're Here - Dongshan Station," is also a good choice.

2. Tongling Town Play Guide

Tongling Town is an ancient city of culture for more than six hundred years, with a wealth of treasures, outstanding people, known as "Seaside Zulu", is the economic and cultural center of Dongshan County. Here is still the Ming Dynasty scholar Huang Daozhou and the Qing Dynasty painter and calligrapher Ma Zhaolin's hometown, "Nanming Academy" (Wengong Ancestral Hall) is the Ming Dynasty master of science Zhu Xi's lectures, Tongling Guandi Temple is Taiwan's more than 470 Guandi Temple of the incense rim of the ancestor of the temple, Dongshan Windstone to strange, dangerous, hanging in the country's more than 60 pieces of the wind of the stone, known as the "World's First Strange Stone", "the World's First Strange Stone," and "the world's First Strange Stone", "the world's First Strange Stone". "the first strange stone in the world".

In addition, Tongling Township, there are the Fujian Provincial Art Association and the Fujian Provincial Oil Painting Society of sketching and creation, academic seminar base of the Dongshan Oil Painting Institute, the national rare, Fujian's only "anti-Japanese dedication of the monument", is located in the East Gate Island of the country's lowest elevation temple --- Dongming Temple, and the film "Dongming Temple", and the movie "The Great Wall", which is the most famous temple in China. -Dongming Temple, and the filming locations of the movie "Left Ear" in Nanmen Bay. I personally feel that the deep and long history and culture of Tongling Town is more worthwhile to see and understand, so if you come to visit Dongshan Island, it is best to arrange to stay in Tongling Town on the first day.

Taking my third tour of Dongshan Island route as an example, the first day is 11:30 p.m. to arrive in Tongling Town, after checking into the Yiho Sketchbook Inn, rest for a moment. 12:30 p.m. to set off, along the Park Street, towards the direction of Tongling Town's oldest top street wandering all the way through the rows of Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings, look at the walls of the old house mottled, feel the long history of the town of Tongling Town and the depth of the cultural heritage. Top Street does not seem long, but has a history of more than 600 years, here in the Ming and Qing dynasties is more than 10 jinshi, more familiar with Huang Daozhou, Tang Chaoyi, etc., and now also better preserved more than 10 celebrity former residence.

Walking and looking and shooting, Park Street and the top of the street this section of the road took me about 1 hour, think about it is time to go to eat a full meal. On my friend's recommendation, I went to the netroots store "Uncle Chen's Fish Ball Shop" on Su Feng Road to settle my lunch. The owner is a young man who returned to his hometown to start his own business after attending university in Taiwan. He has his own ideas and has been making fishballs since his grandparents' generation, so he is also known as an old local specialty. Inheriting the legacy of the previous generation, he also continues to add more innovation and change, and now "Uncle Chen's Fishball Shop" is ready to open a third branch on Dongshan Island. In addition to the must-try fishballs, I personally recommend trying the mango seaweed flower and siu mai, which are a bit on the expensive side but really tasty.

From Uncle Chen's Fishball Shop back to the Art Harmony Sketchbook Inn, I still chose to walk, the difference is that this time the route is not to go through the top street and Park Street, but through the Aquatic Products Road around the South Gate Bay, along the South Gate seawall towards the Fisherman's Wharf, if you can not figure out the direction of the cell phone navigation, in fact, just a few roads, it's not difficult to tell the difference. Come to the South Gate Seawall, is almost 4:00 pm or so, passing through the Zhenjun Palace can go in to take a look, which enshrines the Bao Sheng Da Di, and Zhenjun Palace in front of the small square is the filming of the movie "Zuo Er" shooting location. As the sky darkens, the South Gate seawall begins to buzz with activity, saying goodbye to the scorching heat of the day, both tourists and locals come here to enjoy the sea breeze, and after nightfall, it's not a bad idea to go to the Fisherman's Wharf for a spin.

It was 9 p.m. when I got back to the Yiho Sketchbook Inn, so I went to bed after washing up because I had to get up early the next day to eat a bowl of rice balls, the ancient breakfast flavor unique to Dongshan Island. The recipe for rice balls is not complicated, it is to grind the rice, then slowly simmer it into a rice paste over a low fire, add salt and green onion oil, and then stir and serve. It is said that fishermen on Dongshan Island have a bowl of rice balls every day before they go out to sea, and since the rice balls close early, if you want to try them, try to get to the rice ball stand before 7 o'clock.

Coming to Dongshan Island, the wind-driven stone scenic area is a must-see attraction, it is the main scenic spot of Dongshan Island, but also the national 4A level tourist attractions, with a total area of 150,000 square meters, and the generals and sages of the past generations have frequently visited Tongshan to see the sea and watch the wind and have left a lot of poems and praises. Creation clock spirit show, scenic spots all over Tongling, these landscapes, most of these scenic spots, that is, in the wind-driven stone scenic area. After I ate the rice ball, although it is still early, but the wind stone scenic area from 7:00 in the morning to open to tourists, so early into the scenic area, both to avoid the heat, but also to avoid the peak of tourists. The Wind-driven Stone Scenic Area is not too big, the main attractions are Tongling Guandi Temple, Baozhi Temple, Wind-driven Stone, Dongshan County Museum, Huang Daozhou Memorial Hall, the monument gallery, wooden stacks, etc., and you can stroll around in about three hours.

After strolling through the Wind-driven Stone Scenic Area, the time was almost 10:00 a.m. Although the weather began to heat up, I decided to take a boat to Dongmen Yu for a stroll. Dongmenyu, also known as Tanyu, covers an area of nearly 1 square kilometer, is an almost "earth" shaped island, located in the Tongshan ancient city of the sea outside the east gate, with its strange reefs and rocks, cave springs, sweet alcohol, and many monuments and famous, listed as one of the top ten scenic spots in Fujian Province, and Xiamen's Gulangyu Island, Wenzhou's Jiangxinyu Island and Taiwan's Orchid Island, and called China's four famous islands. It is known as one of the four most famous islands in China. Movies and TV dramas such as Journey to the West, Love of the Sea and The Eight Immortals Cross the Sea have all been filmed on Dongmen Yu.

Dongmenyu Island area is not large, but stroll through at least two or three hours, return to the Yiho Sketchbook Inn has been a little more than 1 p.m., sort out the luggage to check out, find a place to fill up the stomach, I will be towards the Alluan Bay Alluan Mingdu seaview apartments set off, the second night of the trip to the East Mountain Island I stayed in this.

3. See the sea to see the sunrise, live in Kam Luang Bay

If you are more favorably disposed to natural scenery, want to purely see the sunrise, see the sea, to the beach by the waves, then I will not hesitate to recommend that we stay in this area of Kam Luang Bay. Although Dongshan Island has a number of bays, but Jinluan Bay and Sufeng Mountain is recognized as the best point to see the sunrise, and Sufeng Mountain in this area there is almost no hotel bed and breakfast, so Jinluan Bay is the only choice. My third tour of Dongshan Island, I specifically arranged a day to stay in Jinluan Bay near the Jinluan Mingdu property in the sea view apartments, because it is just in the center of the Jinluan Bay, the view is particularly broad, unparalleled seascape as far as the eye can see, sitting in the room's balcony can see the sunrise view. Stay here, just walk a few minutes straight to the beach in Kam Luang Bay, where the sea water and beach are particularly clean, and fewer tourists, giving me the feeling that it is far better than Maluan Bay.

Looking at the sunrise is the next day, and the beauty of Alluan Bay is not only limited to the sunrise, the evening to the beach beach walking waves is also a happy and interesting thing. Here I remind you must do a good job of sunscreen, especially in the summer, from 8, 9 am to 3, 4 pm, the weather is still relatively hot, what sunscreen, sun hats, skin clothing, if any, are used, so as to avoid sunburn. If I had to choose, I wouldn't go to the beach at this time of the year because I just can't handle it. Initially, I wanted to go back to the apartment to escape the summer heat, by chance, I found that there is a coffee shop called "Yipin" in Kam Luang Municipality, so I discussed with my friends and decided to go there to blow air-conditioning, drink a cup of cold drink, talk about the ancient fairy, and then wait until the sun goes down, and then go to the Kam Luang Bay, "counting the waves of a dozen "

Sunset, six o'clock in the evening of the Alluan Bay seems particularly gentle and charming. Although I am not the first time to see the sea, but every time you come to the beach, always be able to open up like a child in general to play with the waves, and then look at the side of the people, too, I think this is the charm of the sea it. The endless sea, big enough to let people see their own small, what worries can be first put behind the back of the mind. This time to Jinluan Bay, I was lucky to see the local fishermen are using the ancient fishing method "Lashan net" net fishing, it is also a group of hard-working and simple fishermen on Dongshan Island, we these foreign tourists can taste a variety of delicious seafood.

When it comes to eating seafood, come to Dongshan Island on the right, because here is the famous Minnan fishery and Guangdong East fishery intersection, abound in a variety of seafood, the most popular when it comes to small tube. Dongshan Island seafood restaurants, seafood stalls are very much, the price is also quite fair, at least there will not be like Sanya, Qingdao as the phenomenon of rip-offs, if you are staying in an apartment hotel with a kitchen, you can also go to the market to buy some seafood to cook. In the three days and two nights in Dongshan Island, seafood let me eat fast skeptical of life, really called an addiction. If you ask me where to eat seafood, to high on the spring and autumn this flavor, this restaurant is the first brand of Dongshan dining, whether visibility or reputation is very high, of course, the price will be higher; to mass consumption of the Yan sister stalls, mass consumption, portion enough, but the dining environment will be relatively noisy, like the bustle of the words to come here.

In order to see the sunrise, I came to Kam Luang Bay early every other day, but unfortunately the clouds were a little thick, so I did not see the sun rising from the sea at that moment, but the sky color levels change and then the sun suddenly from the clouds in the face of the moment, can still make me jump. It is worth mentioning that the sea water and sandy beaches of Kam Luang Bay are relatively clean, and under the sunlight, the sandy beaches of Kam Luang Bay can be seen as mirror-like reflections, and the photos taken by hand have a very beautiful light and shadow effect.

After watching the sunrise in Kam Luang Bay, you can first go back to the hotel to sleep, if not sleepy, you can go to Sufeng Mountain Roundabout to look out over the sea. Sufeng Mountain, 274 meters above sea level, is the main peak of Dongshan Island, and Sufeng Mountain Island Road is built on the mountain by the sea, not only is a good place to see the sea to watch the sunrise, and this highway is a beautiful scenery, especially the corner, but also become a lot of people to come to Dongshan Island, the place of the card signing.

If you are not looking for it, it is not easy to find the rocky village, many people come to Dongshan Island also missed the rocky village, along the Sufeng Mountain Ring Road has been traveling to it is located in the beautiful Jinluan Bay and the junction of the Dongguan Bay, you will find an inconspicuous signposts, the most primitive fishermen's village of Dongshan Island, rocky village is to enter from here. As there is still no running water in the village, you can imagine how primitive and simple this place is. Most of the young generation choose to move and go out to work, while the old people who insist on waiting here, probably used to the grass, trees, a day, a piece of land and a piece of sea here. The habit of this thing, indefinable, but and everyone entangled in a lifetime.

1, some people feel that the first day first live in the area of the Alluan Bay, and then the next day to live in Tongling Town, is it possible? If it is a self-driving tour is not a big problem, if not, it is recommended or the first day to live in Tongling Town, the next day and then live in Jinluan Bay, because Sufeng Mountain and Yanya Village are closer to Jinluan Bay.

2, Dongshan Island's bus system is not developed, if you want to return from Dongshan Island, Yunxiao station, either in Xipu town station or Tongling town station to take the bus, the bus line along the way there are more than a dozen bus stops can be on the car; either you can only take a private car (carpooling per capita of 25 yuan, chartered 100 yuan), and there is also an option, that is, the direct drop taxi, the price is relatively high! The price is relatively high.

3, if you are not driving, the island attractions transportation can choose to take a tricycle, *** enjoy the electric car, drop taxi, or directly rent an electric car at a price of 80 yuan / day.

4, Maluan Bay coastline is less than Jinluan Bay, and overcrowded, can not go; fish bone sandbar can only be seen at low tide, and overlooking the party can feel the beauty, no drone, then, can also be dismissed.
