I spent a month in Miaozi Lake of Dongji Island, fully experiencing the charm and fishermen style of the island, and the romance outlined by the island's colorful houses and fishing boats on the sea.
Reef beach, colorful houses, fishermen fishing boats, romantic lighthouse, Dongji Island (Miaozi Lake Island) to meet all my imagination of the island, stay here for a month every day the daily routine is to see the sea, the rest of the free time will go to watch the sunrise, watch the sunset, climbing mountains, catch the sea, see the fishermen out of the sea, but also at night to climb halfway up the mountain to see the night view, overlooking the small fishing village that starry fishing lights.
Transportation route: from Ningbo Zhoushan, and then from Zhujiajian Centipede Chi Pier Miaozi Lake, 2h, 100-150RMB divided into the lower middle and upper, it is recommended to sit in the middle cabin, you can see the sea view is not so boring.
Tour route: Dongji Island Miaozi Lake Pier - Original Stone Beach Scenic Area - Cai Bo Gong Statue - Romantic Lighthouse (Rainbow Bridge) - Island Highway - Liberation Monument - Dongji Pavilion - Sea and Sky Corner ("Dongji Stone" Square) - Dongji History Museum - Inverted Steep Street (Fishing Village), about 4-5h
Must-see attractions: the original stone beach scenic spot, washed by the waves all year round, the original reef scenery; Cai Bo Gong statue, the statue of the free male god, the island's iconic statue; romantic lighthouse, the island's best photo spot, but also a better viewpoint to watch the sunset; inverted steep street, the bustling center of Miaozi Lake Island, Dongji Island History Museum, hospital, post office, bank, visitor service center, etc. are in and around this street.
The island's attractions can basically be walked to, it is recommended to hike: the best point to see the sunrise Dongji Pavilion, free male god Cai Bo Gong, the most romantic red and white lighthouse, the original ecological original stone beach, the best point to see the sunset viewing platform, etc.; lazy people do not like to walk, you can take the 88 / person tour bus around the island, each stop can be off.
Tired of playing during the day at night, you can find a small bar with a view of the rooftop to sit, so that the soft music and the gentle sound of the waves washed away a tired, to 11 o'clock the whole small fishing village is like pressing the pause button, to restore the quiet only the sound of the waves, not yet sleepy can blow the sea breeze on the beach to see the sky starry, really super comfortable.
Island food: basically seafood, where you can buy seafood directly with the local islanders and then processed in the restaurant; the island also has mobile sales of dried seafood can be worth buying as a small snack.
The island sentiment small store: island flower sister, a 95-year-old beautiful girl opened a milk tea coffee shop, the store decoration is very tasteful; late-night canteen, a open in the seaside second floor rooftop, only selling fried dumplings and only in the evening open-air projection movie at night; East Pole - bear nest nest, the front yard sea view of the unbeatable hostel, located above the B&B I stay, very atmosphere.
When I first arrived at the island, I was happy to play with a group of friends every day, which was probably the most joyful source of volunteering, but later I left the island to enjoy the solitude alone, sometimes happy because of freedom, sometimes sad because of loneliness, but the good thing is that I was cured by the beautiful scenery of the island and the simplicity and warmth of the islanders.
The island is small but complete with all the necessities, such as public security bureau, post office, supermarket, restaurants and bars, but basically no entertainment facilities, the islanders still retain the fishermen's life, sunrise and sunset, so you can feel the rich fishermen's style on the island, sitting quietly on the beach to watch the fishermen weave nets and fishing boats can make the mood better, or climb to the highest part of the island overlooking the view of Miaozi Lake Island, or stroll through the streets of the fishing village to feel the quiet and fishing village style of the island's slow life.
In the island does not need to deliberately look for the destination, the eyes see a beautiful scenery, see the fishing boats slowly dock, see the island sun a variety of seafood, see the islanders selling dried seafood, etc., in this piece of the island in every corner are filled with the atmosphere of the island fishermen style, even the air with a little light fishing flavor.
Besides Miaozihu Island, there are also Dongfushan Island, which is called "the home of wind, the hotbed of rain, the kingdom of fog and the cradle of waves" by local villagers, Qingbang Island, which enjoys the reputation of "Potala Palace on the sea", and Huangxing Island, which is undeveloped. and Aobang Island for a night or two.
