Dongji Island is a popular tourist destination in Zhoushan. It was developed early and is well-known. It consists of three islands: Miaozihu Island, Qingbang Island, and Dongfushan Island. Han Han's film has put this island in the spotlight, attracting countless people to check in. The ending theme song "When a ship sinks to the bottom of the sea, when a person becomes a mystery" tells another story - this is also the site of the "Lisbon Maru" shipwreck.
🔹Island Guide🎫
: For the outbound trip, use the [Smart Travel Starfish] mini-app to purchase a ferry ticket from the Shenjiamen Banshengdong Passenger Transport Center to Miaozi Lake (a roughly 2-hour journey). The ferry will stop at Miaozi Lake, Qingbang Island, and Dongfushan Island. Tickets for the other two islands can be purchased on board (remember to bring cash, as the signal on board is not very good). For the return trip, use [Dongji Shipping] to purchase tickets.🚢
: The lower cabin is stable but a bit stuffy, while the upper cabin has a good view but is a bit rocky. Those prone to seasickness can choose the appropriate option based on their physical condition.
🌟Crossing the mountains and the sea, we hike around the island, listening to the sea breeze and waves, and keep our appointment with "No See You Tomorrow", waiting for a sunrise and sunset. Miaozi Lake + Dongfu Mountain, a legendary journey of two islands, to pursue the true blue sea and blue sky.

🔹The Shengsi Archipelago, comprised of 630 islands of varying sizes, is the easternmost island county in Zhejiang Province.
Among them, Sijiao Island (Shengsi Main Island), Huaniao Island, Gouqi Island, and Shengshan Island offer a wealth of attractions.
🔹Take the ferry from Shenjia Bay and head east. The sea water gradually changes from yellow due to the high sediment content to the blue you imagined. You can even clearly see the dividing line between the sea colors. If you want to see beautiful clear waters, Xiaoxia recommends going to Goji Island, Flower and Bird Island, and Shengshan Island. The sea here is not deceptive. 🙋♀️
🔹Guide to the Island🚢
: There are buses from Shanghai, Hangzhou, Ningbo, and Suzhou that go directly to the Shenjiawan Wharf. You can also choose to drive there yourself (your car can be taken to Sijiao Island by passenger ferry).
🎫: You can book ferry tickets and combined bus and ferry tickets on the [Visit Shengsi] applet and the [Shengsi Passenger Transport] official account. You can book bus tickets on [Baba Express]. The sea is windy and rough, and there may be a risk of suspension of sailing. Xiaoxia reminds you📢 to pay attention and make a planb in time.
🔴: You can take a boat to Sijiao Island first, and then go to other small islands from Sijiao Island. Friends who are seasick can put on motion sickness patches in advance, or go outside to enjoy the breeze and take photos to distract themselves. 👌
🙌 If you don't want to do your homework, you can follow Xiaoxia to have fun: Sijiao Island | Flower and Bird Island | Goji Island
