#Dongshan County Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Dongshan Island in Zhangzhou】The romantic chase of sunrise and sunset awaits you, ladies and gentlemen, come and play
In the springtime on Dongshan Island, there is a unique beauty, especially during the sunrise and sunset, unveiling a chapter of travel that you can't afford to miss. Although Dongshan Island in Zhangzhou is small, its charm is infinite, especially these spots that I have carefully selected, each one deserves to be experienced wholeheartedly.
🛣️Route suggestion: From the dawn at Jinluan Bay to the lighthouse at Shuangmianhai, then to the Chenghuang Temple at Nanwangtiantai, and finally chasing the afterglow of the sunset at the Xiakeng Seafood Pier.
🌅Sunrise at Jinluan Bay: This place is like Fujian's mini Chaka Salt Lake, known as the most beautiful sunrise viewing spot. In the early morning, as the tide recedes, the beach forms a mirror reflecting the dazzling sunlight, like nature's mirror, a paradise for photography enthusiasts. Remember to check the sunrise time in advance and arrive early to avoid missing this magnificent spectacle.
⚠️Tips: The early spring mornings are cold, so it is recommended to stay in a homestay near Jinluan Bay for convenience in watching the sunrise. The homestay we stayed at was very cozy and reasonably priced. After leaving, a short walk or bike ride will take you there.
🏖️Shuangmianhai Lighthouse: The beach here forms a path to the small island when the tide is out, not only a filming location for the movie 'The Left Ear' but also a place where tourists leave beautiful memories.
🌄Nanwangtiantai and Chenghuang Temple: These two spots are adjacent to each other. Standing on the Tiantai, you can drink a cool beverage and enjoy the panoramic beauty of Dongshan Island. Descending to the Chenghuang Temple, you can experience more local color.
🌅Sunset at Xiakeng Seafood Pier: Recommended by the local tavern owner, the sunset view here is stunningly beautiful and complements the seafood. Although it is far from other attractions, driving or taking a ride there is the perfect way to end the day.
In the spring of Dongshan Island, there is less hustle and bustle of crowds, more tranquility and beauty, and a small electric scooter can take you around the entire island, leaving behind unforgettable memories and beautiful picture
Dongshan Island Travel Guide
Babies, I'm here to share my new travel experience! This time I went to the beautiful Dongshan Island, where there are beautiful bays and retro fishing villages. Let me take you to appreciate it! 🌊
Day1: Nanmen Bay → Left Ear Terrace → Wengong Temple → Nanyu Double-sided Sea → Tongling Night Market
After arriving at Dongshan Island in the morning, the first stop I chose was Nanmen Bay, which was once the filming location of the movie 'Left Ear'. On one side is the azure sea, and on the other side is the quaint fishing village, which is as beautiful as a poem. In the afternoon, I went to the Left Ear Terrace, which is an excellent place to watch the sunset. In the evening, I tasted local delicacies at the Tongling Night Market and felt the lively atmosphere of the fishing village.
Day2: Sufeng Mountain Ring Island Road → Yanya Village → Color Spy Bay Sea
Early in the morning on the second day, I got up early and went to Sufeng Mountain Ring Island Road to admire the beautiful sunrise, then came to Yanya Village to check in the filming location of 'Yanya Lovers', and finally experienced marine activities such as catching seafood in Color Spy Bay.
Transportation suggestion: After arriving at Yunxiao Station by high-speed rail, you can take a bus directly to Dongshan Island. The fare is 10 yuan/person. If there are many people, you can choose to share a ride, the cost is 25 yuan/person. On Dongshan Island, it is recommended to rent a small electric donkey for travel, the rent is 60-80 yuan, and the off-season is 40 yuan. Be sure to ask about the battery life and return time when renting a car.
Accommodation recommendation: Tongling Town is close to Nanmen Bay, there are many things to eat, and takeaway is also convenient. But it's noisy, especially by the sea. The price of sea view rooms is more expensive. Jinluan Bay can get up early to watch the sunrise, but the delivery of takeaways is more expensive and takes a long time. There are fewer things to eat nearby. If there are many people, it is recommended to share the room fee together and choose a single-family villa for living, where you can barbecue and cook.
Dress suggestion: When taking pictures, it is recommended to wear bright or light-colored skirts, Japanese or Thai school uniforms, or camisoles with wide-leg pants or half skirts.
Must check-in attractions:
Nanmen Bay: On one side is the azure sea, and on the other side is the quaint fishing village. It is the filming location of the movie 'Left Ear'.
Jinluan Bay: The mirror-like beach and sunrise complement each other, very dreamy.
Nanyu: The green lighthouse is the filming location of the movie 'Your Wedding'. You need to watch the time to go there to prevent the tide from passing.
Sufeng Mountain Ring Island Road: The super beautiful ring island road blue bridge, wearing a school uniform to take pictures is very out of the picture. The left hand is the blue sea, and the right hand is the green mountain, which is intoxicating.
Wengong Temple: You can go up from the steps in the middle of Nanmen Bay and Fisherman's Wharf. It is the location of the movie 'Left Ear' terrace scene, where you can overlook Dongshan Island.
Yanya Village: Check in the filming location of 'Yanya Lovers' and take pictures with the cliff as the background is very beautiful.
Colorful Butterfly Bay: The colorful and vibrant bay like wings, there are special seaside small trains and rainbow train tracks in the park.
Maluan Bay: 'Sea Amusement Park', there are many amusement projects.
Left Ear Terrace: You can overlook the entire Nanmen Bay and it is an excellent place to watch the sunset.
That's all for this share! If you also want to travel to Dongshan Island, I hope my guide can help you!
I went to Dongshan Island, and I can't post all the photos in my circle of friends!
📍Left Ear Rooftop, a popular check-in spot on the rooftop
📍Your Wedding, Lighthouse, Double-sided Sea
Internet celebrity wall, took a photo, many people lined up, indeed very good for shooting. The door of fortune, passed by without taking a photo, it was too hot and I just wanted to quickly return to the homestay to lie down
✔️Wandering around the street, eating and drinking, and getting sunburned for two hours. In conclusion: The weather is very good, it's very comfortable to feel the sea breeze and see the sea view, but! Definitely do not go out in the mid to late afternoon, it's too hot! Go after four or five o'clock, and you can also see the sunset
Wind-moving Stone Scenic Mountain, went for the plank road inside, but because it was too hot and the shirt could be wrung out, I just walked around casually
You must bring, wear, and apply sunscreen when you go to the beach!
‼️Essentials: Sun protection clothing, sunscreen, parasol, flip flops, hat, sunglasses, wet wipes, mosquito repellent (The ultraviolet rays at the beach are really strong!! Any exposed skin needs to be applied with sunscreen! Even on cloudy days!)

Zhangzhou · Dongshan Island travel tips
1. Take bus route 15 on the right side of the exit of Gaotie Yunxiao Station to Tongling Town, with a ticket price of 10 yuan and a travel time of about 45 minutes.
2. Aojiao Village is worth visiting, but the journey is about 28 kilometers and the condition of the national road is complicated, so cycling is not recommended. It is suggested to drive or take a taxi. Go further and climb up the mountain.
3. Su Fengshan's cycling is very beautiful.
A Gem in Fujian - Dongshan Island
Getting There - Dongshan Island is a natural wonderland located in the Sortheast of Fujian Province. Hop on a train going to Yunxiao train station and from there there are buses running frequently taking you to the island (around 30 mins’ ride).
Highlight - The island isn’t very big but it takes a bit time to see everything. During the stay we rented motorbikes from the side of street (very easy and convenient) at a very reasonable price. With a motorbike it’s so easy to get around and explore the island wherever you like.
I particularly enjoyed visiting Sufeng Mountain and having a swim at Maluan Bay and Jiluan Bay. Locals all go to those beach to relax and enjoy the water and abundant sunshine.
This island is charming in ways that I can’t put into words. I would highly recommend anyone who is into a relaxing (or even a wild) vacation to go and check it out!

Dongshan Island is a treasure and a lesser-known beautiful island
Just returned from Dongshan Island🎈😀, I really love this small island where you can ride an electric scooter from north to south🚲🤩. Here you have the azure sea🌊, the dreamy coastal road😍, and the warm and simple atmosphere of the local streets🎇.
I won't tell you where to take beautiful photos🤫, because the scenery that soothes your soul😌🤗 is the most beautiful angle for shooting📸.
🌟Presenting the brand-new Dongshan Island two-day lazy person's guide🌟:
👀Preparation for the trip:
1️⃣ As usual: Check the weather forecast🌤. Everyone knows that the island is stunning under a clear sky😍, with endless blue seas and skies👏. The sea on a cloudy day may not be as beautiful as imagined, but don't complain or feel down😉, different weather has its own unique scenery🎑.
2️⃣ Prepare hats👒 and long sleeves🧥. It's a bit cold in the morning and evening, and the wind at the seaside (Jinluan Bay) is quite strong😎.
3️⃣ Take sun protection measures🧴, bring sunglasses🕶️, and prepare insect repellent🦟.
🚗Transportation:
1️⃣ Recommend self-driving🚗. The main attractions on the island are not far from each other, and if you want to go to the southernmost point, self-driving is undoubtedly more convenient🚌.
2️⃣ Take the high-speed train to Yunxiao Station🚝. The cost of chartering a car is about 100 yuan (sharing a ride is about 30 yuan)🚕. After arriving at the hotel, rent an electric scooter for 80 yuan🛵 and ride freely🤩.
🏠Accommodation:
🤩If you want to enjoy the sea view (sunrise and sunset): Jinluan Bay is a good choice🤩.
😜If you like shopping and tasting food: Nanmen Bay/Tongling Town is a good choice🤭.
🥘Food:
👍Xiang Xiang Ginger Duck
👍Xiaoxifu Sweet Soup
👍A Qing Licorice Fruit
👍A Fang Braised Noodles
👍A Yong Juice Shop
🚶🏻Route:
Day1 Fengdong Stone Scenic Area - Nanmen Bay (sunset)🤩, these two spots are close to each other🤗.
Day2 Jinluan Bay sunrise - Blue Island double-sided sea (green lighthouse) - Coastal Road (Sufeng Mountain)🤩.
⛰️Brief introduction of each spot:
1️⃣ Nanmen Bay🤩. A filming location for many movies, it's a wonderful place where you can sit on the shore and daydream for an afternoon, with a fairy-tale coastline gently embracing the azure sea, dreamlike😍. Wait here for a sunset, and when night falls and the lights come on, it's full of the atmosphere of human life🎇.
2️⃣ Blue Island double-sided sea😜. The lighthouse from 'My Wedding', be sure to check the tide table before going, as you can only go to the island 3 hours before and after the lowest tide🤔. The giant reef road to the lighthouse is not easy to walk on, so be sure to pay attention to safety🤗.
3️⃣ Jinluan Bay sunrise🤩. Also, check the weather forecast in advance, as the sunrise on a clear day is absolutely beautiful🌅.
4️⃣ Sufeng Mountain Coastal Road🤩. You can ride an electric scooter freely, with windmills, reefs, lighthouses, and Klein Blue Bridge along the way, and the healing scenery everywhere is refreshing🤗.
No need to search deliberately🎐😜, every place is a lively scene😜🤩. The blue of Dongshan Island😍, the green of Dongshan Island🎄, the sunrise and sunset of Dongshan Island🤩, will all become my wonderful memories filled with the salty taste of this spring🎊😀.

🏡 Suggestions about accommodation
📍 Jinluan Bay: Detached or semi-detached villas, whole rental is more private, better for barbecues, cooking, singing, playing mahjong, and a better experience overall-
📍 Maluan Bay: Mainly large villas, about a 3-minute walk to the beach, and there are many water activities available in this area~
-
Staying in a villa is actually more suitable for company team building! And for friends gathering!
-
🦪 Suggestions about food
✨ There are many guides online for seafood stalls and traditional snacks. Self-driving🚘 tourists can go to Ao Jiao Village for seafood! It's good value for money, and you can eat to your heart's content~
-
✨ If you're not self-driving but still want to enjoy seafood freely, you can go to the market to buy it and then cook in the villa🍳, which is also very cost-effective
-
✨ If that's still not OK, then just wait for the delicious food to be delivered to your villa! There are seafood stalls near the Jinluan Bay villa area, you can eat there, or arrange for meals to be delivered to the villa
Summer is almost here, it's time to see the sea
Every corner of Dongshan Island is filled with poetry and the call of the distant. As dawn breaks, layers of golden light shimmer on the sea surface, and the fishermen begin their daily routine—the fish in their nets jumping, bringing the joy of a bountiful harvest. Along the island's paths, flowers, grass, and trees are lush, the air is filled with the fresh scent of nature, and occasionally the chirping of birds is heard, like a symphony of the natural world.
Entering the village, the stone-paved alleys are quiet and full of the marks of time, each stone slab holding stories of history. The wooden doors of old houses are slightly ajar, revealing a hint of the smoke of daily life, and the people here, with the simplest way of living, interpret the meaning of happiness. In the evening, smoke from the cooking of each household on the island's beaches rises gently, children play by the sea, and the elderly sit in front of their houses, enjoying the afterglow of the sunset and the gentle caress of the sea breeze.
Dongshan Island is not just a piece of land; it is life flowing in the veins of the islanders, a haven for souls seeking tranquility and freedom. Every day here is a sincere tribute to life, making one yearn for it, longing to find one's own moments of peace and lasting serenity in such an environment.
Waiting for a natural sunny day, I want to take you to the seaside~
Billkin just finished a concert in Fuzhou, if you went to Fujian, you might as well visit Dongshan County in Zhangzhou. What lingers in the mind is that Dongshan has islands, and the lighthouse holds memories.
Dongshan Island is not big, and the scenic spots are relatively concentrated.
❤ Highlights of the island tour:
1. You can leisurely drink a cup of coffee at the homestay surrounded by mountains in Nanmen Bay, walk along the path to the alleys, and there is a unique charm;
2. When the tide is low at Nanyu, you can cross the sea to the lighthouse, which is the shooting location for 'Your Wedding';
3. Sufeng Mountain has the most beautiful island road, with mountains on one side and the sea on the other, winding down, and it's also a great experience to ride an electric scooter around the island;
4. Fengdong Stone Scenic Area, the most beautiful thing is not the standing stone, but the wooden plank road by the sea that you can walk on.
🌟 Dining recommendation:
Fragrant Ginger Duck.
The impression of ginger duck still stays on Chen Xinyi's Ginger Duck Island. I have also eaten ginger duck in Quanzhou. Compared to that, I prefer the ginger duck from Dongshan Island, both are freshly stewed in a clay pot, but the duck meat is cooked drier and more tender, biting into it is all the aroma of ginger and meat.
🏨 Accommodation recommendation:
Dongshan Xiyanyan Seaview Homestay The homestay is located in Nanmen Bay, near another gate of the Fengdong Stone Scenic Area. A black cat is raised in the homestay, a three-story building by the sea with a white architectural style, very photogenic. But the rooms are rather small.
Watching the Sea||Here are a few seasides I've visited and recommend
||Here are a few seasides I've visited and recommend. I've compiled a list of nine places to watch the sea, with a rating for each. All of these spots are around Xiamen and the photos are all unedited from the original camera, so you can trust their authenticity!
1️⃣ Dongshan Island🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Travel Time: 1-2 days
The movie 'The Left Ear' was filmed here. The water is incredibly clear, and you can see the blue sky, white clouds, and the sea along the coastline, while the interior offers a simple and comfortable life in a fishing village. You must stay overnight and watch the sunrise the next day; it will not disappoint.
2️⃣ Emerald Bay🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Travel Time: 1-2 hours
The water in Emerald Bay is clear and the sand is fine. It's definitely worth a visit.
3️⃣ Guanyin Mountain🌟🌟🌟🌟
Travel Time: 2-4 hours
The water at Guanyin Mountain is not very clear. When I visited, the water was quite murky despite the good weather. It's still very comfortable and pleasant to set up a parasol on the beach, lie down, and enjoy the sea breeze and the sound of the waves.
4️⃣ Huangcuo Beach🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Travel Time: 1-2 days
Huangcuo Beach is beautiful at any time of day, with sunrise in the morning, sea views during the day, and sunset in the evening. The water quality is excellent, and the facilities are well-maintained. It's a must-visit spot in Xiamen!
5️⃣ Pingtan Island🌟🌟🌟🌟
Travel Time: 1-2 days
Pingtan Island is famous for its windmill sea. Unfortunately, the weather was bad when I visited, and Pingtan Island was shrouded in fog. Interested friends can check out photos posted by other users on my Pingtan Island post. It's truly beautiful, and I will definitely revisit.
6️⃣ Meizhou Island🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Travel Time: 1-2 days
Meizhou Island is a five-star scenic area with beautiful scenery and well-developed infrastructure. It's very comfortable to visit, and you can not only enjoy the sea but also experience the culture of Mazu.
7️⃣ Gulangyu Island🌟🌟🌟🌟
Travel Time: 3-5 hours
When visiting Gulangyu Island, it's best to go during the off-season when there are fewer people. Stroll along the coastline and climb up to Sunlight Rock to overlook the panoramic view. Every street and ancient building here is worth taking the time to appreciate. The only downside is that the water is not very clean, with trash floating near the shore, and it's not very attractive if the weather is bad.
8️⃣ Ten-mile Long Dam🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Travel Time: 2-4 hours
I've been to Xiamen many times, but this was my first visit to the Ten-mile Long Dam. I can only say, why did I discover this treasure so late! The overpass crossing the sea, the sunset over the sea, the orange sea, the sunset cars, the lawn music, all make this place surrounded by romance. (There's a post dedicated to the Ten-mile Long Dam sunset on my homepage.)
9️⃣ Haicang Bay Park🌟🌟🌟🌟
Travel Time: 1-2 hours
The water here is particularly blue, and the environment is very clean. It's great for a walk.
‼️When going to the seaside, the weather is definitely the most important factor. The scenery is completely different on sunny days compared to cloudy ones, so be sure to check the weather before you set out!
