How to get to Dongshan Island? Regarding transportation, I am afraid this is the place where I want to vomit Dongshan Island most. I can only take the train to Xiao Yun Station, and then transfer to the bus from Xiaoyun to Dongshan. There is only one bus line. You can choose to get off at xipu town Station or Tongling Town Station. I personally suggest getting off at Tongling town, because the main attractions are concentrated here. In addition, I found that there are no buses 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, shared electric cars and drip taxis, which is more or less inconvenient, so if conditions permit, road trip is the best place, and the roads on Dongshan Island are well-built. Except Dongmenyu and Yugu Shazhou, other scenic spots can be reached by bus. It is understood that there will be a mobile station in Dongshan Island in a few years, and Zhangzhou Airport may land here. By then, Dongshan Island is likely to become the second Sanya, so if you want to experience the real island tour, I will send you the word "early".
Live like this, wander like that.
-Love humanity and live in Tongling.
In recent years, with the vigorous development of tourism in Dongshan Island, hotels and homestays have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and the price difference between off-season and peak season is great. If time can be arranged, off-season travel is naturally better. If you like cultural landscapes and places of interest, it is recommended to stay in a homestay in Ding Jie and Park Street in Tongling Town. From the point of view of cleanliness, hygiene and economy, I personally recommend 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 only 5 minutes' walk from Fengdong Stone. If you want to see the sea, it's only 5 minutes' walk to the nearest Nanmenwan. Price is the key. It is worth mentioning that Yihe Sketch Inn was once the seat of Tongling Middle School. After renovation, the exhibition hall of Dongshan Oil Painting Institute is now open on the first floor of the building. Living here is not only convenient for visiting nearby scenic spots, but also for enjoying the oil paintings of famous artists all over the country. This is really killing two birds with one stone.
If you have a large budget and want to stay in a higher hotel, I personally think that the island language hotel not far from Yihe Xiaopin Inn is also a good choice. It used to be the location of Dongshan Station of Hunan Satellite TV's Here We Come, and it is a veritable network celebrity hotel.
Tongling Town is an ancient cultural city with a history of more than 600 years. It is called "Zou Lu by the Sea" and is the economic and cultural center of Dongshan County. It is also the hometown of Huang Daozhou, a scholar in Ming Dynasty, and Ma, a painter in Qing Dynasty. Nanmei Academy (Wengong Temple) is the place where Zhu, a master of Neo-Confucianism in Ming Dynasty, gave lectures. The Guandi Temple in Tongling is the Xiangyuan ancestral temple among more than 470 Guandi temples in Taiwan Province. Dongshan's pneumatic stone ranks first among more than 60 kinds of pneumatic stones in China because of its strangeness, danger and suspension, and is known as "the first strange stone in the world".
In addition, Tongling Town also has the sketch creation and academic seminar bases of Dongshan Oil Painting Academy, Fujian Artists Association and Fujian Oil Painting Society, the only rare "Anti-Japanese Machine Memorial Hall" in China, Dongming Temple, the lowest temple in the country, and Nanmenwan, where the film Left Ear was filmed. Personally, I think the profound history and culture of Tongling ancient town is more worth seeing and understanding than watching the sunrise from the sea, so if you travel to Dongshan Island, you'd better arrange to live in Tongling ancient town on the first day.
Take my third trip to Dongshan Island as an example. Arrive at Tongling Town at noon on the first day 1 1: 30, and check into Yihe Sketch Inn for a short rest. 12: 30, walk along Park Street towards the oldest top street in Tongling Town, pass through 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. Ding Jie seems short, but it has a history of more than 600 years. In Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were more than 10 scholars here, including the well-known Huang Daozhou and Tang Yi. Now, more than 65,438+00 former residences of celebrities have been well protected.
Watching and shooting while walking, I walked between Park Street and Top Street for about 1 hour. I think it's time to have a full meal. On the recommendation of a friend, I went to the online celebrity shop "Chen Shujia Fish Pill Shop" atNo. Su Feng Road 1 for lunch. The boss is a young man who finished college in Taiwan Province Province and returned to his hometown to start a business. He has his own ideas. Fish balls began with 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 Pill Shop" is going to open a third branch in Dongshan Island. Besides the fish balls you must order, I personally recommend you to try mango, Haidilao and Shaoshao. Although the price is a bit expensive, it is really delicious.
After returning to Yihe Xiaopin Inn from Chen Shujia's fish ball shop, I still chose to walk. The difference is that this route does not take Ding Jie and Park Street, but bypasses Nanmenwan through Shuichan Road and walks along Nanmenhai seawall to Fisherman's Wharf. If you are not sure about the direction, you might as well look at mobile navigation. In fact, there are only a few roads, so it is not difficult to tell. When I arrived at Nanmen seawall, it was almost 4 pm. You can go through Zhenjun Palace to see the Emperor Baosheng. Little Square in front of Zhenjun Palace is the location of the movie Left Ear. As it gets dark, the South Gate seawall is getting busier and busier. Say goodbye to the roasting during the day. Tourists and locals will come here to enjoy the sea breeze. It's also a good idea to go to Fisherman's Wharf after nightfall.
When I returned to Yihe Sketch Inn, it was already past 9 pm. After washing, I went to bed, because I had to get up early the next day to eat a bowl of rice balls, which is a special breakfast in Dongshan Island. The method of making rice balls is not complicated, that is, crushing rice, then slowly boiling it into rice paste with low fire, and finally adding salt and scallion oil, and stirring evenly to serve. It is said that fishermen in Dongshan Island eat a bowl of rice balls every day before going out to sea. Because rice balls are collected earlier, if you want to try, try to get to the rice ball booth before 7 o'clock.
When you come to Dongshan Island, Fengdong Stone Scenic Area is a scenic spot not to be missed. It is the main scenic spot of Dongshan Island and a national 4A-level tourist scenic spot with a total area of 654.38+500,000 square meters. Throughout the ages, celebrities have often visited Tongshan to see the sea and the wind, and left many poems and praises. Zhong Lingxiu has scenic spots all over Tongling, most of which are in 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: 00 in the morning, so entering the scenic area early can not only avoid the heat, but also avoid the peak of tourists. Wind-driven stone scenic spot is not big. The main attractions are Tongling Guandi Temple, Baozhi Temple, Fengdong Stone, Dongshan County Museum, Huang Daozhou Memorial Hall, Monument Gallery, Wooden plank road, etc. It will take about three hours to visit.
It's almost ten o'clock in the morning after visiting the Fengdong Stone Scenic Area. Although the weather began to get hot, I decided to go to Dongmenyu by boat. Dongmenyu, also known as Tayu, covers an area of nearly 1 km2. It is an island with an approximate "earth" shape, located outside the east gate of Tongshan ancient city. It is famous for its peculiar rocks, mellow caves and numerous historical sites. It is listed as one of the top ten scenic spots in Fujian Province, and is also known as the four famous islands in China along with Gulangyu Island in Xiamen, Jiang Xinyu Island in Wenzhou and Lan Yu Island in Taiwan Province Province. The Journey to the West's "Love in the Sea", "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" and other film and television dramas have all been filmed in Dongmenyu.
Although the area of Dongmen Island is small, it will take at least two or three hours after the visit. When I returned to Yihe Sketch Inn, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon. After packing and finding a place to fill my stomach, I left for Golden Moon Du Ming Seaview Apartment in Jinluan Bay and stayed here on the second night of my trip to Dongshan Island.
Watch the sea and the sunrise, and live in Jinluan Bay.
If you prefer natural scenery and want to watch the sunrise, sea and waves 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 accommodations in Sufeng Mountain, so Jinluan Bay is the best choice. When I went to Dongshan Island for the third time, I specially arranged for a day to live in the seaview apartment of Jinluanmingdu real estate near Jinluanwan, because it is right in the center of Jinluanwan, with a particularly wide view and invincible seascape. Sitting on the balcony of the room, you can see the beautiful sunrise. Living here, you can reach the beach of Jinluan Bay in a few minutes' walk. The sea and beach there 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 second day, and the beauty of Jinluan Bay is not limited to the sunrise. Walking along the beach in the evening is also a happy and interesting thing. Here, I want to remind you to do a good job of sun protection, especially in summer, it is still very hot from 8: 00 am to 3: 00 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 can't hold on. At first, I wanted to go back to my apartment for the summer, but I happened to find a coffee shop called "Art" in Jinluanmingdu, so I discussed it with my friends and decided to blow air conditioning, have a cold drink and tell old stories. The sun went down, and I went to Jinluan Bay to "count waves after waves".
As the sun sets, Golden Bay at six o'clock in the evening is particularly gentle and charming. Although it is not the first time for me to see the sea, every time I come to the seaside, I can always open my heart to play with the waves like a child and see the people around me. I think this is the charm of the sea. The endless sea is so big that people can see their own smallness, so that they can forget all their troubles first. During my visit to Jinluan Bay, I was fortunate to see that local fishermen were using the ancient fishing method "Lashan Net" to fish. It is precisely because of these hard-working and simple Dongshan fishermen that we foreign tourists can taste all kinds of delicious seafood.
Speaking of eating seafood, it is right to come to Dongshan Island, because it is the intersection of the famous Minnan fishing ground and the eastern Guangdong fishing ground, which is rich in all kinds of seafood, and the most popular one is the small tube. There are many seafood restaurants and stalls in Dongshan Island, and the prices are quite reasonable. At least there will be no cheating like Sanya and Qingdao. If you live in an apartment hotel with a kitchen, you can also go to the vegetable market to buy some seafood for cooking. 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 grow taller, I will go to Chunqiu Benwei. This restaurant is the first brand of Dongshan catering, with high popularity and reputation. Of course, the price will be higher. If you want mass consumption, go to a food stall in Yan Jie. 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 morning. Unfortunately, the clouds were a little thick, so I didn't see the moment when the sun rose from the sea. However, the change of sky color and the moment when the sun suddenly appeared from the clouds still made me jump with joy. It is worth mentioning that the seawater and beaches in Jinluan Bay are relatively clean. Under the sunshine, the beach in Jinluan Bay can see the mirror-like reflection effect, and the photos taken at will have beautiful light and shadow effects.
After watching the sunrise in Jinluan Bay, you can go back to the hotel and sleep for a long time. If you are not sleepy, you can go to Sufengshan Island Road to see the sea. Sufeng Mountain is 274 meters above sea level, which is the main peak of Dongshan Island, and the Sufeng Mountain roundabout highway is built by the mountains and the sea. It is not only a good place to watch the sea and watch the sunrise, but also has beautiful scenery, especially at the corner, which has become a place where many people come to Dongshan Island to punch in.
If you don't look for it, Yanya Village is really not easy to find. Many people came to Dongshan Island and missed Yanya Village. Go straight along the roundabout road around Sufeng Mountain, and you will find an inconspicuous road sign at the junction of beautiful Jinluan Bay and Donggu Bay. This is where Yanya Village, the most primitive fisherman village in Dongshan Island, entered. Yanya village has no 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 all my life.
