Island Hopping Adventure: Dongji Island 3 Days

Day 1 Hangzhou → Zhoushan → Dongji Island

·morning

Departing from Hangzhou: 7:00-7:30, meet at Hangzhou Huanglong Seafood Stall for departure (5:45-6:00 on holidays, departure time is subject to the departure message)

Meet at the pier (by car): Navigation: [Banshengdong Passenger Transport Center] (Please note when registering, we will deduct 200 yuan/person for the round-trip fare)

Note 2: Traffic jams are very common on the cross-sea bridge, so we will depart early on holidays. If we have enough time after arriving at the pier, we will go to [Shenjiamen Fishing Port] to enjoy seafood delicacies.

·afternoon

Take the midday/afternoon flight to [Dongji Island] - Miaozi Lake Island, and watch the sea and sky merge into one and seagulls flying along the way.

After arriving, we arranged to check in. The sea is right outside the door, making it very convenient for sightseeing.

--Follow the movie "Dongji Island" and start exploring the filming location--

Embark on the Ring Road and take in the pristine polar scenery of the island. Pass through small paths, uninhabited villages, and ascend hillsides to the filming location of "East Pole Island," where you can unlock photos from the movie! (The film, starring Wu Lei and Zhu Yilong, will be released this summer on August 8th, so look forward to it!)

--It is also a journey chasing the sunset--

In the evening, the sea is sparkling with golden light, and fishing boats are slowly returning to the port under the setting sun. The sea is romantic in itself, and it is even more gentle at sunset!

·night

At night, it is so pleasant to have a decadent dinner at a food stall by the sea, listening to the sound of the waves and feeling the sea breeze.

You can also go to the beach to see the stars and the Milky Way, wait for a shooting star to streak across the sky, or try your luck at finding the magical "blue tears".

Driving time: about 250 kilometers, 4 hours

Note: Tickets are one-to-one with real name and need to be confirmed one week in advance. We hope you can pay and confirm as soon as possible!
Dongji Island ferry schedules are affected by tides and weather, so the schedules during the itinerary may change. We hope you can understand!
Dongji Island ferry tickets are issued by the terminal. The lower, middle and upper cabins are randomly assigned. The registration fee includes the middle cabin seat ticket + handling fee (if you are assigned to the lower cabin on site, the on-site leader will refund 30 yuan/trip; if you are assigned to the upper cabin, you need to pay 20 yuan/trip on site. We hope you can understand and cooperate)

Day 2 Miaozihu Island → Dongfushan Island → Miaozihu Island

All day

--Sunrise at Sea--

When you come here, you can’t be lazy in the morning, because the sun here comes out much earlier than other places. So, in order to see this precious first ray of dawn, you must never be lazy!

--Lighten your luggage and start today's fun island hopping tour--

After breakfast, we will depart by boat to the easternmost island [Dongfushan], a desolate place nicknamed "hometown of wind, hotbed of rain, kingdom of fog, cradle of waves" by local fishermen.

After arriving, explore Dongfushan Island on foot: the magical coastline, the clear bay rocky beach, the mysterious uninhabited village, and come to the easternmost "End of the World". Facing the vast and magnificent East China Sea, you will be filled with endless reverie.

Return to Da'ao Village for lunch. The extremely low-lying houses are scattered at different heights, and there are many treasure restaurants and coffee shops hidden there. It is like a Pandora's box waiting for you to open and explore.

Take the flight around 16:00 and return to Miaozihu Island.

After docking, you can return to your B&B to rest and have dinner, or you can visit scenic spots such as the [Cai Bogong Statue] and the [East China Sea First Post Lighthouse] to wait for the sunset.

After a fulfilling day trip, we continue to enjoy a seafood feast tonight, sleep peacefully under the stars.

Note: For the island hopping tour flight (Miaozi Lake-Dongfushan), since this flight has relatively weak resistance to wind and waves, if the ferry is suspended and the island hopping tour cannot be carried out, we will continue to explore Miaozi Lake Island.

Day 3 Miaozi Lake → Shenjiamen → Hangzhou

All day

--Enjoy the slow life on the island--

Following the film "Eastern Pole Island," we visited the [Lisbon Maru Shipwreck Memorial Museum] to decipher the story behind the sinking of the Lisbon Maru: uncovering a long-forgotten massacre and witnessing a heroic rescue.

Following the movie "See You Tomorrow", we set out on the Ring Island Road, check in the second hometown of the soldiers, overlook Qingbang Island from afar, and look for movie filming locations, the statue of Cai Bogong, the East China Sea's first lighthouse and other attractions.

Take a bus to [Dongjihou Beach] for fun (transportation tickets are required at your own expense, but the beach is smaller)

Or choose a comfortable corner or coffee shop, watch the sea, listen to music, daydream and relax.

Rent a fishing rod and experience the fun of sea fishing.

·afternoon

--Happy return trip--

Return on the midday flight.

Tourists who choose the [Meet at Pier] option will be dispersed upon arrival at the Banshengdong Ferry Terminal.

Tourists who choose the "Meet in Hangzhou" option will take a bus back to Hangzhou for disbanding, which normally takes about 4 hours (the return time is difficult to estimate during holidays, so please be aware of the actual time).

Note: Dongji Ferry's sailing schedule is affected by tides and weather, so the sailing schedule in the itinerary may change. I hope you can understand!

1. Question: Is it possible to visit both Dongfushan Island and Qingbin Island in one day?

A: Due to the fixed ferry schedule, you can only choose one island.

2. Question: If we gather at the pier, will we be unable to find the meeting place?

3. Question: To meet at the pier, do we need to arrive at the pier an hour in advance? So early?

A: When the wharf encounters traffic control, the flow of people will be restricted and vehicles will queue up. It is better to arrive early and wait a little longer to avoid being late and unable to get on the boat.

4. Q: How long is the boat ride? Will I feel dizzy?

A: The boat ride takes about 2 hours. If you feel seasick, you can go out of the cabin to enjoy the sea breeze. To be on the safe side, you can bring your own seasickness medicine/patch in advance.

5. Question: How long is the boat ride from Miaozi Lake to Dongfushan Island or Qingbang Island?

A: It takes about 20-30 minutes from Miaozi Lake to Qingbang Island. The journey from Miaozi Lake to Dongfushan takes only about 30 minutes if it does not stop at Qingbang, but about 50 minutes if it stops at Qingbang.

Dongji Island, east of China's maritime territory, boasts the East China Sea's bluest waters, far from the continental shelf, situated at the edge of the western Pacific. The vast azure ocean, unique sea erosion, crab catching, conch rubbing, a variety of fishing activities, and free-flying seagulls await. Dongji Island's three islands—Miaozi Lake, Qingbang Island, and Dongfushan—each possess their own unique character. Miaozi Lake, the seat of Dongji Town Government, is the birthplace of fishermen's painting. Qingbang Island, the Potala Palace of the Sea. Dongfushan—the "blessings as vast as the East Sea, longevity as great as the Southern Mountains"—represents the "blessings as vast as the East Sea, longevity as great as the Southern Mountains"—and represents the first true dawn of the new century in the eastern part of the motherland. Watching the sunrise here is truly worthwhile!
Do not come here without a pilgrim's devotion; do not come here without the courage to brave the wind and waves; do not come here if you fear the vastness of the ocean. Dongji Island rejects all frivolous intimacy and superficiality.

You have felt the crisp sea breeze, you have bathed in the huge waves of the sea, you have experienced the endless surge of the sea, you have cleansed your cramped stomach, you have crawled on the earth-shaking ship with fear, only then will Dongji Island lift her mysterious veil for you.
