Picture 1 is a thick green moss lake, and pictures 2 to 4 are the construction site beach full of construction waste. The entire scenic area is under construction. There is no scenery, no facilities, and the museum is just a few broken models. They dare to charge 90 yuan per person for a full ticket, and 20 yuan per person for a ride in the scenic area. Zhangzhou Island goes to this broken scenic area by black taxis that cost 30 yuan per person. This broken place charges a lot of IQ tax
The scenic area is not mature enough, and many places are under maintenance.
Wrong internet celebrity check-in, the Earth Museum Monument Valley! Only in
Taking photos of the building from outside, the entire building is under maintenance and construction!
The bubble house is also under construction! The infinity pool has no water!
The area is not crowded, the recreational facilities are good, and there is no need for weekend outings.
Problem! Public transportation to the scenic spot is not convenient.
If you take a bus from Hong Kong, you have to walk a long way to the entrance of the scenic spot after getting off the bus.
There is no shuttle bus from the scenic area to the bus station, so it is currently recommended to
You can drive or share a car from Zhangzhou Port! There are also Internet celebrity elements that can be seen everywhere in Xiamen. The only food in the scenic area is
There is only one Zhuangyuan Restaurant, but no other snacks. The geological landscape of the volcanic island
The beach is very suitable for taking photos. There are few people, most of them are on the beach.
We set out for the volcanic island, running along the coastal highway all the way. The road conditions were very good and there were not many cars. We arrived at the volcanic island at about 9 o'clock or 10 o'clock. After buying the tickets, we went directly to the volcanic island geological park. The hardware facilities in the scenic area are good and quite complete, but it is more like a resort, with many townhouses and single-family villas. I checked online and found that it costs more than 1,000 yuan a night during the National Day holiday... There are many people staying there, all of them are small local tycoons.
The first stop was Lover's Bay. The sand here is very fine, but the slope is very steep, so swimming in the sea is prohibited. However, there is an infinity pool next to it, and the price is not expensive. The two children played happily on the beach for a long time, came up to wash their feet and continued on their way.
The Geological Museum is very average, mainly because the model is not good enough. I originally hoped to learn more about the volcanic island, but it may be difficult to understand it in a short time with just text description. The children had a lot of fun on the beach. If my home was within a two-hour drive, I think I would come here often. In fact, we drove for 12 hours to get there. Zhangpu is very authentic. I was also surprised to stay at the Ramada by Wyndham Lianchuang. I am very satisfied that there is such a hotel in this place. Regarding the environmentally friendly car, today is the Chinese New Year, so there are a lot of people. I took my children and walked the whole way. In fact, it was not very far. Most people can walk the whole way. I hope to come again when I have time.
The style of this island is also very artistic. The infinity pool also has old cartoon cars and hot air balloons, which is really arousing the hearts of our artistic youth! The island is still a bit big, so it is recommended to take a car! Otherwise, it will be very tiring!
The volcanic island is really big, and it is very tiring to walk around it. Please save your energy and take more vehicles!
I bought a 60-yuan ticket to enter the scenic area. After entering the scenic area, I did not buy the 20-yuan scenic shuttle bus. I walked counterclockwise and quickly arrived at this location. This puddle of water is also a place where you can take beautiful pictures.
Here "half is sea water and half is fire".
The island has a very magical landscape. There are black volcanic rocks on the coast, which look like scenes from science fiction movies. Between 46 million and 700,000 years ago, there have been more than eight volcanic eruptions here...
There are also lighthouses, green plants, hot air balloons and other popular elements for taking photos, as well as the indispensable blue sky, sea and volcanic rocks... This island is full of fresh and artistic style~
There are still many popular photo spots on the volcanic island. Family travel is not like traveling with friends. You can't go to so many places and you can't take pictures all the time. So we suggest that you take the scenic sightseeing bus directly to the beach bus location. There are 4-6 shooting scenes here. You can take your children to play and take pictures. After taking pictures, you can go to the tree house here to eat and rest.
Time arrangement: 2 hours for taking photos, the whole journey should be 3-4 hours.
At noon, I came to the intersection and there was a traffic jam. I thought the parking lot inside was full and there were all kinds of parking on the roadside. But don't worry if you come later, just squeeze into the parking lot in the scenic area. The parking lot inside is so big! There are still many places to park during the May Day period, and it's only 5 yuan for 4 hours, which is invincible! It costs 20 yuan to park a car in the residential area outside. The management here needs to be improved. A bunch of people are queuing at the door to check their tickets. The queues are disorderly. There seem to be only 3 ticket gates, which is a bit difficult to handle such a large flow of people. When I was queuing, I saw this big smiling face, and I couldn't wait to go in. After entering the park, it turned out that there was a strong complaint from the scenic spot on the back. Haha~ I believed the comments on the Internet, bought a tour bus ticket, and queued for almost half an hour before getting on the bus. It turned out that it only took about 5 minutes to drive to the Geological Museum where there are many photo spots... It's very close... It's easy to walk with green trees, okay! Every time I take a bus, I have to queue up for a long time, which is also drunk. So if you encounter a holiday, I advise you not to waste that money on buying a tour bus ticket! The Geological Museum has various replica photo spots, replica skyscapers, replica torii gates, replica Bali grass circles, replica chairlifts, and a large lawn. It's still okay when the weather is good. The sea view is still very good~ Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day we went there, and there were so many people. There were all kinds of queues everywhere, and it was very tiring to walk. I advise those who want to take pictures not to go on such holidays.
When I went there in 2010, this place had not yet become an Internet celebrity and the scenic area was deserted. However, I climbed over the fence to the beach and enjoyed the most beautiful scenery that summer.
I went there during the May Day holiday. There were crowds of people and the scenery was nice, with endless coastline and crashing waves. However, you have to queue up at all the popular check-in spots, such as hot air balloons, swings, buses, etc. It is not suitable to go there on weekdays.
It's a place worth seeing, the scenery is beautiful and the museum is also very nice.
This place is suitable for literary young people to go with their girlfriends. The atmosphere is good. However, the shopping point on the island is not the volcano, so friends who want to learn about the volcano don't have to go. Then the transportation is very inconvenient, and there is no direct bus.
There are some islands worth visiting around Xiamen, where you can find props for celebrities to check in and take photos, as well as space for leisure and relaxation.
You can directly see South Bay from the volcanic island, and the scenery is pretty good.
There are currently very few people on the volcanic island, so you can enjoy the entire island at your leisure 😉
This is the first time I saw black volcanic rocks on the beach. It felt like Iceland.
The volcanic island is really comfortable, with blue sea and blue sky, and every corner is a beautiful scenery. At night, the sky is full of stars. I really regret not staying in a car there.
The sky is clear of summer colors, and the wind is cool all night long
Like the environment and scenery here
Moonlight Beach is really the cleanest and most pristine beach I have ever seen. No one sells flip flops, swimsuits or snacks, and there is no place to shower. Everything is pure and natural. When fishermen collect their nets, they will attract a group of egrets circling the sea. You can catch small crabs on the beach for a long time in the afternoon. The key is that there is no garbage, few tourists and the water is very clean.
The volcanic island is still worth a visit, half a day is enough
Tickets: 60 yuan/person (half price with student ID)
Battery car: 30 yuan/person, unlimited number of rides
🏊Infinity pool: 30 yuan/person
Recommended play time: half a day
The cost performance is not high. If you have enough time, you can come and play, but the transportation is inconvenient. It is recommended to drive by yourself or charter a car.
The main scenic spot ticket is 60, and the student card is half price for children. Don't take the sightseeing bus at the door, 20/person. There is a store at the door. The waiter in the store will tell you that it is far from the beach and you have to take a car. They are all fooling people. In fact, it takes 15 minutes to walk to the beach from the other side. The volcano experience hall is 20/person. Don't go. It's a huge pit, because it's only 20 minutes, but it's actually only 10 minutes. Just look at the screen and it's gone. It's very boring. The Geological Museum is also very boring, and it still charges tickets. If it's very hot, it's okay to go in and blow the air conditioner, but it's also recommended not to go. The hot air balloon and car, the swing are not bad, very beautiful, very suitable for girls to take pictures, but there are a lot of people, and you have to queue for a long time. Lover's Bay Beach is fun, but the weather is too hot, and the water is very clean. There are too many items that need to pay tickets after entering the Volcano Island. If you go to Zhenhai Cape, you can come to the Volcano Island to visit, just pay a scenic spot ticket, don't play other things, it's boring.
The romance of the seas and rocks, the freshness of the clear water and white sand, not many tourists, suitable for taking photos and vacation⛱️
The scenery is very beautiful and there are many projects, suitable for bringing children to play
I passed by on a business trip. The scenery was beautiful, but the transportation was very inconvenient!
There are clean beaches and clear waters here. When the weather is good, any photo you take will look like a blockbuster. Tickets can be booked online. There are major group buying websites, which are more cost-effective than buying them on site. The normal ticket price is around 75. When you go there, you can buy a ticket for the whole journey. There are electric cars inside that you can ride, and you can get on and off at any time. The pass is 20 yuan, which is very comfortable.
The transportation is very inconvenient╮( ̄▽ ̄"")╭The scenery is still very beautiful! Unfortunately, the tide is high... It's high... I can't stand on the rocks to take pictures 5555° I wrote a travel note about the transportation method, you can go and have a look if you need it...
The only coastal volcanic island in China, the scenic area is very ordinary. The volcanic sea landform is obvious. I wanted to go to Linjin Island, but I was not allowed to enter. The island hotel is also bad. I didn't stay there after looking at it. If you drive, you can book Lianchuang Ramada, which is cheap and clean. It can't be better.
I went there in 2015. The scenery was beautiful, a bit like the east coast of Taiwan. But the transportation was not very convenient and the room was not perfect.
I sincerely hope that more people will come to visit the volcanic island! The black lava is very special! Even on holidays, there are very few people! It is the best place for vacation

Quiet, beautiful, simple, all troubles are a joke here.
A good place to relax, but it's a bit far away and the transportation is not very convenient
I actually went to the Volcano Island Geopark in 2007, which is ten years ago. It's been a while, but I still have a good impression of it. Although the weather was not very good at that time - it was cloudy, the scenery looked pretty good overall. The wind and waves were a bit strong when we went there, and we couldn't stand steadily on the black pestle stone. I took a few photos from a high place afterwards.
I wanted to take Didi to the Volcano Geological Park, but I didn't get a taxi, so I went to Zhaojiabao, which is closer to the Volcano Island. From Zhaojiabao to the Volcano Geological Park, I could hardly get a taxi, and there was no direct bus. It was also very inconvenient to take a taxi back to Zhangzhou City. There were few rides, and the shuttle bus was gone at 4 o'clock. The scenic area was open until 5 o'clock, and there were no cars at 4 o'clock. How could I let others go back? It was also difficult to get a taxi in such a remote area, and most of them were private cars. As a result, I spent a lot of money on road expenses today 😔 Except for the sea, there was nothing special. This trip was not very pleasant and very tiring.

Experience an in-depth tour around the volcanic island
The Volcano Island Natural Ecological Scenic Area is the only coastal volcanic geological landscape scenic tourist area in China. It is located on the west coast of the Taiwan Strait and the coastal area of Qianting Town, Zhangpu County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province.
It's super beautiful, the sea water is particularly blue, and the scenery is even more beautiful when the weather is good. There are many people taking wedding photos on the island, and you can see the unique volcanic rocks after low tide. If you bring children, you can also go to the museum for a science tour
The place is very big and beautiful. Take a boat to Linjin Island and Nanding Island
I went to the Volcano Island Geopark with my classmates in the same research group when I was admitted to Xiamen University in 2006. The scenery is really nice. It is called the "Oriental Hawaii". The sea water is much bluer than the sea in Xiamen, the sea breeze is strong, and the seaside landform is also different from the shallow beach in Xiamen. It is the kind of black volcanic eruption solidified rock. It looks a bit like chicken manure on the cliff (please forgive my home used to be a chicken farm, so the association is rather strange.). Going down the steep mountain road from the cliff, there is a long natural dam deep into the sea water, which is called the "Little Dragon Head". It is really descriptive. If a large group of people go there, it is still nice to take pictures on the Little Dragon Head. I went to the blog of that year to find out if the photo is still there?
I really like this place. It's very quiet and a bit isolated. It's a good choice with beautiful scenery and few people.
Zhangzhou Niutou Mountain Ancient Crater Park. It belongs to Zhangzhou Binhai Volcano Island Geological Park. The main scenic area park ticket is 80 yuan (there are man-made landscapes that we are not interested in), and the distance between the two places is about 2-3 kilometers.
From reading travel notes, I found that going to the main scenic park, Nanding Island and Linjin Island not only costs money, but the boat cannot sail if the weather is bad or the tide is not right. Even if it does sail, it is said that tourists are not allowed to go to Nanding Island. You can only sit on the boat and travel around the island and look at it from afar.
After comparison, we decided to go to the Ancient Crater Park, where we can see the remains and craters of volcanic eruptions tens of millions of years ago at close range, while avoiding modern man-made landscapes. The ticket price is only 10 yuan, which is very cost-effective.
You need to pay for tickets to the volcanic island, it is more like a resort, rich people will come here to stay overnight, and we bought tickets online in a group purchase at a 20% discount, that is, 64 per person.
I had some seafood at a farm near the volcanic island. It was very fresh and a little expensive, but acceptable.
After checking in at the visitor center, one room comes with two tickets to the volcano island and two round-trip electric car tickets.
The electric car delivered people and luggage to the door of the room. The service attitude was very good, thumbs up! Before checking in, I learned from a friend that I could request a balcony between two adjacent rooms, so I specifically told the front desk and changed to a sea view room with two connected balconies. This feeling is so warm!
The balconies of the two rooms are connected. There are round chairs, a small table and a clothesline on the balcony. This is a benefit for housewives. Mom finally doesn't have to worry about washing clothes. Say goodbye to wringing clothes by hand and using air conditioning to dry clothes.
We booked a sea view room, and there is a row of Shuiyunjian in front of us. After passing Shuiyunjian, we reach the beach. Shuiyunjian is converted from a container, one room in a container, I think it is not as good as a wooden house, it looks small from the outside, it is better to stay in a wooden house with children, and Shuiyunjian room is better for couples.
The blue sky, the pure beach, and the sea and sky are so beautiful!
A very small place with unique beauty
It is suitable to arrange a weekend to see the sea. We stayed in Shuiyunjian, a sea view room, and the room price was 880. You can see the sunrise in the morning.
The beach was full of black volcanic rocks. It was high tide at that time, and dense volcanic rocks were scattered on the beach. The waves created countless waves. We were splashed in the waves without paying attention, and we were very happy.
The craters of the volcanic islands are different from those of other places. They are not on the top of the mountain, but all on the seaside. Looking at these blackened stones burned billions of years ago, I really feel a sense of vicissitudes of life.
The beach on the volcanic island is called Lover's Bay. The sea here is very beautiful and the water is very clean. The photo has color difference. The real sea is very blue. The sand on the beach is very fine. I wrote something with a branch and it disappeared when the sea water washed it. There are very few people on the beach. I enjoy it very much here.
The scenery on the way to the volcanic island is also invincible
It's too official to understand, but it was the first time I saw a beach covered with black stones. It is definitely a rare beauty.
Later, I suddenly had the opportunity to check out the area and accidentally stumbled into the crater. I was excited for a while and then went there four times in two years. The scenery can only be described as pristine and beautiful.
Wow, the scenery is so beautiful. The endless blue sea, the lush green vegetation, and the magnificent European castle. It's just like in a fairy tale, so beautiful.
The environment here is really pristine. We actually saw big spiders hanging on the trees on both sides of the road!!!
After entering the park, a sightseeing bus will take you to the customer service center. We have booked a wooden house by the sea in advance (park ticket 80/person, wooden house 420/night)
I didn't go to the volcanic island, but just went to the volcanic geological park. It still felt very wild and had a sense of antiquity.
The scenery of the volcanic island is beautiful, and the sea water is clear! There are volcanic rocks everywhere. Maybe the weather is hot, or the transportation here is not very convenient, so there are not many people in the scenic area!
The entire national park is an island formed by volcanic eruptions. Every stone is volcanic. The volcano museum is under maintenance so you can't go in for the time being. There is also a camping site for RVs on the island.
We went there on the third day of the 5.1 holiday 〰️ There were not too many people, not too many people. The road to the volcanic island is a little shaded. It is best for self-driving tours to park the car outside and walk in. It takes about 20 minutes to walk in, not too far🔺You can buy tickets on Meituan first, so you don’t have to queue up to buy tickets. You can just scan at the ticket gate and go in🔵Lover's Island Beach🏝🏝There is nothing special and you can't swim🌊There are quite a lot of people taking pictures on the rocks on the shore. It is best to go directly to the popular shooting spots. They are all in one place, behind the museum. It is very crowded during the 5.1 holiday. It is really not easy to take pictures. It is windy and cold. It is best to wear a coat, otherwise you will get a headache. You have to queue up for every shooting spot, almost for an hour. If you really go there for taking pictures, I suggest that you go to the first shooting spot first, take pictures, and then go to other places, otherwise it will be really tiring!
