Day 2 Changdao Pier → Accommodation → Jiuzhang Cliff
·morning
After breakfast, we will take you to Penglai Pier. You will then pick up your tickets and board the boat to Changdao Pier according to the meeting time. We will arrange for a receptionist to meet you at the station (please bring your ID or other valid documents, as the boat ticket is a real-name system). The Penglai-Changdao departure starts at 6:30 AM. It is recommended that you contact the Changdao receptionist in advance. The boat ride takes approximately 50 minutes.
Noon time
Upon arrival at Changdao Pier, our private car was waiting. After checking in at our accommodation, our first stop was Fengshan Linhai. Here, you'll see the dividing line between the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea: yellow on the left, blue on the right, creating a distinct "Tai Chi" effect. We hiked up the mountain, where we could see the entire boundary. From the top, we gazed out across the ocean, a gentle breeze blowing through the sea as the sky and sea merged. The visual experience was truly breathtaking! On clear days, the boundary is incredibly distinct, and every shot is a masterpiece.
During the peak season, there is a shortage of vehicles. Please understand that if you need to share a car, we will guarantee one seat per person and pick you up in a small car.
·afternoon
Lunch will be served at a fishing house, and meals will be arranged according to the number of people. The fishing house includes three meals, and no refunds will be given if not used!
After a short break, we chartered a car to Crescent Bay to admire its beauty. We found colorful, crystal-clear pebbles and fed the adorable seals (20 yuan at your own expense). It was quite fun. The beaches on Changdao Island are full of rocks and pebbles, so please be careful when playing on them.
After the tour, we'll visit Jiuzhang Cliff. Standing on the high ground, we'll gaze out at the glimmering lighthouse perched on the coastline, a truly unique sight. We'll then head to the cross-sea bridge to watch the sunset over Changdao Island (the exact time depends on the day and may change). Afterward, we'll return to the fishing village for dinner.
Day 3: Go to Wanniao Island → Fairyland → Accommodation
·morning
Watch the sunrise on your own
Friends who want to watch the sunrise can go to the beach to watch the sunrise on their own (this itinerary is recommended and does not include transfers), and then return to the fisherman's house to enjoy breakfast.
Go out to sea to visit Wanniao Island★After the peak season of Wanniao Island (July-August), we will go to Heishan Island or other islands at sea. Please understand.
After breakfast, we'll be transported to the pier and board a boat to explore the Myriad Birds Island, where you can touch the sea creatures. Enjoy a relaxing photo-taking experience as you explore the sea, watch the birds, take photos, and have fun. The boat tour lasts approximately four hours.
·afternoon
Return to the fisherman's house for lunch at noon.
Later we went to [Xianjingyuan] for free activities and enjoyed the island life to the fullest.
Special recommendation: You can also choose sea fishing activities today (reservation is required in advance, at your own expense)
There are two ways to fish: take the Changdao Fishing House special line and fish on an antique sailboat at sea; or fish on the shore or reefs of the North and South Changshan Islands.
You can choose different forms of fishing according to your own sea fishing or traveling with your family.
·night
