07:30-07:45 Meet at the designated location of China-TravelNote for check-in. Don't be late!
07:45-12:00 We set off on time under the leadership of the tour leader, breaking the ice in the car with laughter all the way, and headed to the first destination of this trip, Shenjiamen Wharf (there may be traffic jams on holidays, which will inevitably affect the travel time. At that time, the tour leader will adjust or delete the first day's itinerary according to the situation. Tourists are welcome to know this).
Jin Yong's Style: 12:00 PM - 4:30 PM
12:00-13:30 Take a boat to Taohua Island. After arriving, we will have a seafood dinner to kick off the island tour. After the meal, we will go to Taohuayu Scenic Area.
Arrive at Taohuayu Scenic Area, your first stop on Taohua Island, between 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. The scenic area is nestled along the coast, with a wooden plank road winding down to the sea. The azure East China Sea flanks one side, while grotesque peaks and steep rocks stand on the other. The grotesque reefs resemble "turtles patrolling the shore," a truly breathtaking sight.
Huang Yaoshi Villa, Jingge Residence, Rong'er Tea House...all embody a wealth of martial arts and tenderness, reminiscent of a Jin Yong novel! Together we watched the ocean and the sunset, the natural beauty captivating us.
Chill Beach: 4:30 PM - Darkness
Around 16:30, we arrived at Wushizi Village, a hidden fishing village in the southeast corner. The whole village is in cool black, which looks like a movie! The people here live a primitive fishing life, and therefore have preserved a very
The simple fishing village style. Because there is a 1000-meter-long black stone beach in front of the village, it is named Wushizi Village. Afterwards, we vacated the black sand beach. In addition, there are also sea glass and shells on the beach.
Don't miss it, we will distribute picture frames/glass bottles (random blind boxes) on site, and everyone can collect sea glass and shells to make an exclusive black pebble beach handicraft as a souvenir of this trip to Taohua Island.
17:15-17:30 Check in to the B&B, put your luggage, and after a little tidying up, you can go to Tawan Golden Sand Beach or rest in the B&B
From 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM, we arrived at Tawan Golden Sand Beach, 1,370 meters long and over 400 meters wide. The water was azure and clear, and the sand was soft and pure. We had some free time on the beach, enjoying the gentle breeze, playing Frisbee, playing in the waves, and catching crabs. As the sun set, a seaside sunset painted before our eyes.
18:30-19:30 Dinner time, use delicious food to eliminate the fatigue of the day
19:30-At night, you can relax on the beach and enjoy the unique atmosphere of the seaside night. When it is hot, we can also get together to chat or play a board game until nightfall.
2nd Tiananmen Peak → Pier → Shenjiamen → Shanghai
All day
Sunrise at Peach Blossom Island: 05:00 - 07:30
As the dawn breaks, the stars fade, and the sea and sky merge into one, the beach blending into one. The sun rises in the east, its golden glow slowly piercing the water. A magnificent morning glow adorns the shimmering waters, and the islands in the sky are bathed in a gentle orange-red, creating a dreamlike experience. Early risers can enjoy a sunrise viewing at the beach, followed by a hearty breakfast to kick-start the day and build energy for today's hike!
[Island Summit: 08:00 - 13:00]
Around 08:00, pack up and check out. After breakfast, the leader will organize everyone to go to the starting point of the hike (today's hike is a crossing line, so remember to pack your luggage in advance)
Around 8:30 AM, we followed the shuttle bus to the starting point of the hike, the Fishing Village Ancient Trail. Built during the Shunzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty, the trail connects numerous villages, including Long, Miyu, Changkeng, Shuikeng, Mopan, Datangang, and Xiaotangang. We followed the trail, accompanied by the flowing stream.
Around 09:00, we arrived at the Mopan Observation Deck, located in the middle of the Taohuagang Scenic Area. Walking along the coastline, watching the boats coming and going, I really wanted to freeze this moment.
Around 10:00 AM, we arrived at Shengyan Temple on Anqi Peak. This temple is the highest temple on Zhoushan's Thousand Islands, known as the "First Temple of the Thousand Islands." Its beauty resembles the "Potala Palace on the Sea." Atop the temple, a pair of magnificent stone reliefs of Chinese pillars stand out. Let's take a quick tour.
Around 10:30 AM, we continued our journey, reaching today's challenge: a 400-meter climb to the highest point of Anqi Peak. From there, we could gaze out over Taohua Island. Along the way, the rolling ridges and turquoise waters unfolded before us, reminiscent of the mountain and sea scenery of the MacLehose Trail. (If you cross the ticket evasion line and are asked to pay for the 45-yuan Anqi Peak ticket, please do so.)
Around 12:00 PM, we arrived at the end of the hike, at Tawan Beach. We returned to the farmhouse, where a sumptuous lunch awaited us! (We will be AA-ingredients; those not participating in the group meal can bring their own food or find food nearby.)
Around 13:00, after lunch, we took a short rest and immediately went to the pier to take the boat and say goodbye to Taohua Island!
Return: 2:30 PM - 6:00 PM
At around 14:30, we took a boat to the pier. After arriving at the pier, we took a bus back to Shanghai!
Around 19:00, we returned to Shanghai. Everyone was reluctant to leave and kissed goodbye with tears in their eyes!
