Dongshan Island is truly an awesome place! Located in Zhangzhou, Fujian, it's a beautiful island with blue waters and fine sandy beaches that you'll fall in love with instantly! 🏖️
Must-visit spots:
1. Nanmen Bay: The sea view there is absolutely gorgeous, with houses built on the hillside in vibrant colors, creating a very romantic atmosphere.
2. Wind-moving Stone: A huge rock suspended on the cliff edge that looks like it could move with a gust of wind - super thrilling!
