East Cliff

You can walk all the way to the top. There are guardrails on both sides of the path, but of course, you should walk slowly! It was a bit dizzy looking down from the top, but since there were only four of us, we let them take pictures and they took pictures of us. It was really exciting to be alone! The entire scenic area took about an hour to visit.

At the Dawang Village bus station, the shuttle bus to Ganxie Wharf is scheduled based on departing ships. If you're unsure, ask the staff for the departure time. Shuttle buses to other destinations seem to have a timetable. While it's called a bus, it's more like a minibus. Our first stop that day was Dongya Cliff. Since it was just the two of us, the bus left without waiting. The trip from Dawang Village to Dongya Cliff cost 10 yuan per person, and the price is a chartered fee. Dongya Cliff, located at the easternmost tip of Shengshan Island and the Zhoushan Archipelago, is renowned for its steep cliffs, precipitous cliffs, and unusually shaped rocks. Its highest point reaches over 70 meters, and numerous granite formations lie beneath the undercurrent.

Because it was a bit hot that day, I didn't want to go in when I walked to the entrance. I thought the scenery at the entrance was also very good. The main thing is that the ticket is not cheap. The ticket is 50 yuan per adult.

My personal favorite attraction on Goji Island is Dongya Cliff. Located at the easternmost tip of Goji Island and even Shengsi, it faces the Pacific Ocean, making it an excellent sunrise viewing spot. Tickets are a bit pricey at 50 yuan per person. The name alone is quite impressive, and a hike through it reveals its precipitous cliffs, unique rocks, and various shapes. These unique reefs and rocks stretch far into the sea, offering a glimpse into the wonders of nature.

At the end of the East China Sea, the silent white lighthouse stands as the sole watcher, welcoming and sending off passengers. It is a symbol of solitude and freedom, and therefore a reason for countless people to flock to the island.

The scenic area is nice. The small shop at the entrance of the scenic area seems to be called "The End Restaurant". A cup of milk tea costs 38 yuan, and the service is very poor and the attitude is bad. If you are knowledgeable, you can go and try it.

The easternmost point of the Zhoushan Islands, even more eastern than Dongji Island, is the perfect place to watch the sunrise over the sea.

It's too expensive. If you can't see the sunrise, it's a waste. It's too commercialized. Taxis are too expensive.

This is probably the largest beach here. It is very sunny during the day and there are almost no people on the beach. It becomes more crowded in the evening, but there is an entrance fee. The sand is pretty good.

We went out at 5 o'clock and walked to the East Cliff to wait for the sunrise. I admire the scenic area management staff very much. They started selling tickets here at 4:30 in the morning.

The sunrise is not stunning, but it is the sunrise on China's easternmost island after all, so it can be considered the first ray of sunshine.

The East Cliff is actually the place to watch the sunrise.

Man proposes, God disposes. The East Cliff has long been a tightly fenced-off tourist attraction. The driver said it will open at 4:30 at the earliest.

I got up early and chartered a car to go there, but was turned away. I knocked on the door for a while but to no avail. I found that the door was not locked tightly!

After entering, I honestly called the staff and said that the ticket seller had not come to work yet, so I couldn't enter.

After explaining that he was a photography enthusiast who was eager to take photos and promising to buy a ticket after leaving the house, he was successfully released.

We were indeed the only living people in such a huge tourist attraction. Although we brought flashlights, the pitch-black East Cliff left us completely clueless.

We took the wrong road twice and couldn't find the foreground of the Milky Way. My friend lamented that to take pictures of the Milky Way, you have to scout out the best spots and never take it for granted.

In fact, it is useless to scout the location. The fishing boats have already started working in the distance, and the dotted fishing lights are lit up. If you don’t come early, you will not be able to take pictures of the Milky Way.

Mosquitoes were biting my legs and arms all over. It was almost dawn, so I quickly got myself together and headed for the sunrise.

The blood and tears history of photographing sunrises, sunsets, stars and the Milky Way is really a long story, but I will not go into it for now.

Tourists arrived one after another, and the tour guide instructed them how to occupy the highest and best viewing points.

The clouds were thick and I couldn’t capture the sunrise in any good photos. For my friend, the trip to Goji Island was a failure.

When daybreak came, we could finally see the shape of the East Cliff and the huge reef stretching across the sea.

The mountains are connected end to end, as if floating on the sea. The brown mountains are angular and the cliffs seem to go straight into the sea. There is a huge world under the water.

Thanks to the drone, I can see such a thrilling picture.

The rocks are steep, like two doors, light slowly falls into the doors, and the rise and fall of the sea water is an embrace and a sigh.

There were wild grass and bushes under my feet, and gullies ran across the ground.

In the far east, far away from the mainland, you can experience the feeling of being at the end of the world.

Actually, if you've already visited Heshangtao in Shengsi, you can skip Dongya Cliff. The style is exactly the same, and it's quite small. However, we went to Dongya Cliff first, and I thought the scenery was just as beautiful. We went in the afternoon, and it was quite beautiful in the sunshine. Anywhere with fewer people is a good place, haha. Dongya Cliff is probably the farthest of the attractions.

According to Baidu Maps, it is about 5 kilometers from Shengshan to Dongya Cliff.

The entrance fee to the East Cliff is 50 yuan, and you can walk along the plank path. Some of the path is difficult to walk on, so be careful not to step on empty space and sprain your ankle. The entire circuit takes about an hour. As the sun sets, the entire hillside is tanned golden, and the sea is shimmering. Even the seasickness of yesterday was worth it.

Note: The East Cliff is the best place to watch the sunrise.

Appreciate the scenery along the way and you will want to get off the car immediately to take pictures before walking. If you are not in a hurry, I really recommend walking. Every place is beautiful.

There are fewer people in the scenic area in the afternoon, so you have to wear appropriate shoes. Girls, don't wear high heels here, because part of the road is a mountain road that walks along the edge of the cliff and needs to climb. Although it is very hot, it still can't stop the three of us from being attracted by the beautiful scenery and being deeply shocked by it.

Dongya Cliff. My initial urge to visit was based on three key words: sunrise, lighthouse, and cliffs. Due to our itinerary, we weren't able to see the sunrise. Friends, I hope I can plan your time accordingly and help you find the perfect spot. It's absolutely the perfect spot for sunrise viewing. Greeting the first rays of light from the east with your partner is such a romantic experience. It's a shame I missed this opportunity again.

The scenic area is open from 4:30 to 11:30 and 13:30 to 18:00, and sometimes it will be adjusted according to seasonal changes and visitor flow.

If you want to watch the sunrise, remember to buy tickets in advance.

The most important thing about the East Cliff is the sunrise. The rest is basically the same as the monk tour in the morning. Enjoy the beautiful scenery along the trestle bridge. The tour lasts about an hour.

The scenery is nice. I watched the sunrise in the morning and the sea breeze was very comfortable. I needed to bring an extra piece of clothing. Of course, the most important thing is to choose a sunny day. If it is cloudy, you can't see the sunrise.

It is the easternmost part of China's inhabited islands, and it is worth a visit just for this title.

It should be one of the places you should check in in your lifetime. It is the easternmost inhabited island in China and the first place in China where people greeted the sunrise at sea.

The morning scenery exceeded my expectations. Even the sunrise over the sea of clouds was beautiful when photographed with an ordinary mobile phone.

Located at the easternmost end of Shengshan Island, it is the best place to watch the sunrise.

I checked the weather forecast before sunrise! It said it would be sunny! Sunny! Sunny!

I never expected that after getting up early, I would stand on the cliff edge in the early morning, shivering in the sea breeze for a long time, but what I got was a thick fog~o(╥﹏╥)o

I've been thinking about this island for many years, until it took me four years to set foot on this land. Before that, I always had a lot of imagination in my head about what it looks like. Is it a mysterious existence or is it quietly waiting for people to come and see it? From the first picture I saw it, I was deeply attracted to it. I thought a lot about how to make the name of the travelogue more poetic. When I first saw it, I felt that it was a very romantic, sentimental and poetic place. I would write a love poem, praise it, or weave a beautiful dream for it, or even sing a song for it.

oh sha-la-la la-la-la oh sha-la-la la-la-la

The fee is 50 yuan per person (children are half price). The path goes all the way to the cliff, with a wide view and many viewing points at different heights, so there is no crowding problem. After sunrise, the scenery here is very good and you can walk around more!

Dongya Cliff is the easternmost point of Shengshan Island. Here, you can catch the first rays of sunshine from mainland China, a must-see. There's another spot on Shengshan Island, too—I've forgotten its name—where you can watch both sunrise and sunset, and there's no entrance fee. However, since it's not the easternmost point, the significance of the first rays of sunshine is lost. Admission to Dongya Cliff is 50 yuan, and student IDs are half-off for those under university, though my graduate student ID was useless. There are also some discounts for people with disabilities and those of advanced age.

Once you enter, you'll step onto a long plank road. Standing beside it, you'll gaze at the cliffs below, where the waves crash against the shore. It's truly spectacular! Although I didn't get to see the sunrise, the sight of such a high cliff was truly breathtaking, and I was in awe of nature's wonders! (Tickets: 50 yuan)

It's spectacular and worth seeing, but the 50 yuan ticket is a bit expensive. It's inappropriate for all attractions on the island to charge such a high price. It should be free.

The scenery is pretty good, but standing by the fence will make you afraid of heights, and the vertical rock wall is still quite scary. Now you need to pay an entrance fee of 50 per person, and half price with a student ID, but it still feels quite expensive.

It's a great place to watch the sunrise. It was my first time to see a full sunrise and it was a great experience.

Friends who like Shengsi Goji Island and Shengshan Island are in luck! Search the official account: Xixi Loves to Eat Fish. Reply 9 to save the 2018 Goji Berry Shengshan Tour Guide (including transportation, accommodation, attractions, etc.). Super gorgeous! Highly recommended!

The area has been fenced off and a fee is charged, 50 yuan per person.

It's quite spectacular, with a sense of majesty. I went there in the summer. The wind was strong on the mountain, but it was very comfortable.

The East Cliff is located at the easternmost end of Shengshan Island. The scenery is very stunning and it is worth the trip!

The season was a little early, not very suitable for swimming, but everything else was good.

A good place to watch the sunrise, the scenery is also good, the park staff are very dedicated

It rained today, and I was the only one at the scenic spot. It felt great. The scenery was beautiful, the sea breeze was blowing, and there was a unique artistic conception.

It is a good place to watch the sunrise, the scenery is pretty good, the ticket price is 50 yuan per person, the ticket is a bit expensive, and the place is not big.

You must go to the easternmost part to watch the sunrise! Although it is not the most complete sunrise, it is definitely one of the best!

One of the must-see classics, ticket price is 50 yuan, the scenery is good

The scenery in the scenic area is very beautiful. The sea water here is blue and there are not many tourists. I feel that this is the most scenic spot in the past few days.

It is worth visiting the sunrise viewing spot, the mountain is very large and the view is very wide

Overall it's very good, you can go for a swim in the sea

The scenery is beautiful, the weather is good and the sunrise is spectacular! ! It's worth a visit~~~~

The cliffs are so steep that it's spectacular to stand on them and watch the sun rise from the sea level. The wooden plank road built in the scenic area is very long, so you don't have to worry about not finding your spot.

The previously free attractions are now charged. The scenery is good. Cloudy weather is the best. You can complete the tour within 2 hours.

The entrance fee to the scenic spot is 50 yuan per person, and the price for chartering a car is 100 yuan per spot. The scenery is OK, but there is a bit of discrimination against outsiders. We set out from Shenjiamen and the lower berth of the Wonderful Express we took was not for outsiders, only for locals. In addition, the vegetables in the restaurant can only be ordered by locals, not outsiders, which is very rip-off.

It is very suitable for watching the sunrise. It is recommended to arrive at the East Cliff around 5 o'clock, and then slowly walk to the top of the cliff to watch the sunrise. The ticket price is 50 yuan.

Because there were too few people when I went there, it felt unpopular overall. I could see the endless sea, but there was always a gray feeling.

Dongya Cliff is located at the easternmost point of Shengshan Island, and also the easternmost point of the Zhoushan Archipelago. Admission is 50 yuan per person. A long wooden boardwalk runs along the cliff face, crowned by an iron tower and a lighthouse, creating a breathtaking spectacle against the azure sky. Walking along the boardwalk, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of the shimmering sea and exposed reefs jutting into the water. There's no path between the easternmost cliff and the boardwalk, requiring a gentle descent down a steep slope. However, the view from this spot is expansive, offering unobstructed views of the sea, especially to the east, making it a perfect spot for capturing sunrise photos tomorrow. Returning to the boardwalk and walking a little further north, you'll see the cliffs winding and undulating, jutting out into the sea like tentacles, their face as sheer as a knife. From dozens of meters below, you can see the crashing waves at the cliff bottom, creating a shower of water. Since we had three or four other attractions to visit that day, we didn't stay long, spending about an hour before returning.

No matter how tired I am, I always want to see the sunrise when I'm on an island. The next day, I woke up at 4:30 AM and hiked for half an hour from Dayu Bay Beach to the Dongya Cliff Scenic Area. Since the area didn't open until 5:30 AM, I had to wake the administrator and, after some persuasion, they let me in. The wooden plank road in the area was fine, but there was no path to the cliff edge. I followed the slightly steep slope, using my phone's flashlight to tread on the rocks, sifting through the darkness until I reached the cliffside platform. I found the perfect angle, adjusted my tripod, and pointed my camera eastward. A quick glance at my phone revealed it was only 5:25 AM. I took a bite of bread from my bag and waited for the sunrise on the cliff edge.

As the sky gradually brightened, I looked around. There were only two other people in the scenic area. Ten minutes later, a young couple arrived, seemingly renting the entire place out. I waited and waited, but half an hour passed, and still no sign of sunrise in the east. Unfortunately, the clouds were thick, and a few drops of rain fell just before six. I was disappointed. Once again, I missed sunrise, a source of deep regret. Finally, I took a photo by the scenic stone at the entrance, which said, "I've been here."

It was already bright on the way back, and it was nice to take some photos along the way. The road was beautiful and the sea view was beautiful. The bay is a mussel breeding base, and you can see large patches of white floats, which is very beautiful.

Tips: If you plan to watch the sunrise, it is not recommended to go to the East Cliff during the day, otherwise you will have to pay for two tickets. If you want to watch the sunrise, it is recommended to go to the East Cliff at 5:20, and then slowly walk to the top of the cliff to watch the sunrise.

We rented a car and arrived at the entrance of the scenic area at 5:30 in the morning in early March. Both of us were over 70 years old, so we got in for free, saving 50 yuan per person. Although we couldn't see the sunrise due to the thick clouds due to weather reasons, we were amazed by the breathtaking cliffs in the scenic area, the crashing waves on the shore, and the sea view dotted with sailboats. The trip was worthwhile.

It is the end of all the mountains, and it is called Jinshan. Ahead is the Pacific Ocean. If the clouds are not thick, the sunrise is very beautiful. However, you need to pay attention to your feet when climbing the small hill, as it is not very flat. Tickets are required to enter.

This is my favorite spot on Goji Island. Even if you don't come to see the sunrise, taking photos on the plank road is beautiful. I think it would be best to take photos of people here at dusk.

There is a platform where you can watch the stars, the rocks are everywhere, and it is also nice to watch the sunrise.

Shengshan Island's famous scenic spots charge admission fees. If you come to Shengshan, you should go and visit them; it's also a local specialty.

It's a pity that I didn't see the sunrise. I was sad for a long time. I can't make up for it in my imagination. But there are also different scenery.

It's quite beautiful. You can only know the feeling of standing on a high place and looking at the sea by going there.

In fact, it is just two relatively large rocks, a plank road, and a lighthouse. If you take good photos, it can be very artistic and fresh.

It is a holy place for watching the sunrise, but the weather was bad when we went there, so we couldn’t see anything. The clouds were too thick and the sky was not blue, and even the sea view was just average.

The East Cliff of Shengshan Island is definitely worth a visit, as long as you are not afraid of heights and pay attention to safety. The wind is really strong and the road is not flat. But it is quite amazing.

The nearest accommodation is the Dongya B&B.

Watching the sunrise is a must-do at the beach. Dongya Cliff is the easternmost cliff in China, so the sunrise is even more rare. It's the first ray of sunshine in our great country. You must see it! I got up at 4 o'clock in the morning. The master I contacted the night before was already waiting at the door. He took us there early in the morning. When we got there, we bought tickets. They were 50 yuan each, which was still a bit expensive. After entering, we walked along the plank road and found a good spot to sit and wait for the sunrise. We waited for a long time. It was a bit cold on the mountain, so I had to wear more clothes. I was still very moved when the egg yolk came out.

Dongya Cliff is located at the southeastern tip of Shengshan Island, the easternmost point in the Shengsi Islands where you can watch the sunrise. It opens at 4:00 AM in the summer, and admission is 50 yuan. You'll need to take a taxi from Shengshan Town or Gouqi Island. The scenic area is small and can be walked through in about an hour. The scenery is quite nice, with beautiful waters and a view of a marine farm where mussels are farmed.

There were people checking tickets in pajamas at three or four o'clock. The sunrise view would be nice if there was one.

Because we missed the season and weather for watching the sunrise, the scenery was just average. The main thing is that the ticket price was 50 yuan per person, which was totally not worth it and too expensive.

It was beautiful, but I didn't see the sun rise.

Tickets are 50 RMB, student IDs are available for a discount

Facing east, 180 degrees sea level, great view

I really like the little yellow flowers under the lighthouse

To watch the sunrise, you must check the weather in advance and get up early to grab a good spot.



We watched a sunrise without the sun.

The main thing is that the 50 yuan ticket is not worth it, mainly because you may not be able to see the sunrise! ! !

The scenery is beautiful, but now an entrance fee of 50 yuan is charged. The transportation and other supporting facilities are very poor. You need to charter a car to get there, which costs 30 yuan one way and 60 yuan round trip, passing through Dayuwan Beach. You can bargain during the off-season.

The cliffs of East Cliff are so majestic and breathtaking!

If the weather is good, I believe the scenery will be more beautiful. I guess there is a fee now.

The sunrise view is really nice and great. It costs 50 yuan and there is no student ticket.

Shengsi is a seaside version of a farm stay. You have to pay for everything you see. The beach can even be fenced off and charged an entrance fee. Hehe~ It's okay to come here to play on weekends, but it's not recommended for travelers from far away.

The scenery on the island is pleasant, the people on the island are very welcoming, and the aunt in the store cooks delicious dishes. It is worth staying here.

Dongya Cliff is located at the easternmost end of Shengshan Town, Shengshan Island. It stretches for 3,000 meters and is magnificent. I went there in the afternoon and there were few people. I was shocked by the momentum of the scenic spot at first. After a while, the sun set and the sunset shone on the cliffs. The sea surface was covered with golden light. It was beautiful.

A good place to watch the sunrise, the easternmost inhabited area. I paid a fee when I drove, but I really couldn't understand the fee receipt.

It was free when we went in June 2015, but it seems that there is a fee now. However, the scenery is absolutely stunning and it is worth going there to feel the Pacific Ocean breeze.

It's a great place to take great photos. It's the easternmost inhabited island in China. You must go there! ! ! Recommended

Located at the easternmost tip of Shengshan Town, between Manzuitou and Houtou Bay, the majestic cliffs stretch for three thousand meters, plunging straight into the sea. The cliff faces twist and turn, towering into the clouds, their faces seemingly cut by swords, cleaved by knives, and chopped by axes. At the base, raging winds and raging waves crash against the shore, splashing thousands of piles of snow. The scene is truly awe-inspiring, evoking the image of "birds afraid to cross, monkeys anxious to climb." Looking around, one discovers not only exposed rocks but also sprawling wildflowers and grasses. Dozens of houses of various styles are stacked on the hillside, covered in verdant creepers, resembling a green castle – a truly rare sight.

The East Cliff is renowned for its precipitous cliffs, steep sides, and unique rock formations. It is now a Class I scenic spot. The clifftop is the perfect spot for watching the sunrise, the ocean, and the returning fishing boats. You can also take a boat ride on the sea and watch fishermen fishing, their wives collecting shells, and Haiwa collecting snails, all in a scene of abundant harvest.

If you miss the Dongya Cliff, you might even say your trip to Goji Berry is in vain. Imagine standing on the easternmost island in China and watching the first rays of sunlight shine through the clouds onto the earth. What a wonderful thing it is.

Before, there was no entrance fee to the East Cliff, so it was okay if you couldn't see it. Now you have to pay for the entrance fee even if you can't see it, which is not worth it. There are a lot of people watching the sunrise along the way, so you must get up early and find a good spot. After the construction of the East Cliff, you can still visit it.

There is a place similar to a ticket office here, but it seems that it is not ready, so we went in directly. Dongya Cliff, as the name suggests, is a scenic spot built on the cliff by the sea. The road is surrounded by wooden fences for you to watch. The sea was foggy in the morning, and I had a bad feeling in my heart. Sure enough, it was almost dawn, but we still didn’t see the sunrise. Due to the influence of the fog, we missed this viewing and felt depressed. So everyone must be mentally prepared as early as possible and check the weather forecast. At that time, two people were camping with tents on a piece of open space on the Dongya Cliff. They came to see the sunrise, but they ended up seeing the same foggy sea as us. Haha

There is a rocky area at the innermost part. The fence was torn into pieces by the typhoon some time ago and scattered on the rocks. Tourists cross the fence to see the scenery.

It seems that the park closes at 4:30 pm now, so we didn't go in... You still have to buy an entrance ticket. There are basically no student ID discounts for attractions here~ I think it's still worth a visit... The sunset is beautiful~

Hey, when I went there, they started to charge admission, 50 yuan per person

Tragic! The sunrise here is amazing! In the morning, it costs 150 yuan to rent a car from the hotel for a round trip, which is quite expensive.
