The blue sea and sky of Dongshan Island are definitely worth visiting! There aren’t many hotel options here, but each has its own unique charm.
❤️ As a local who has been here 3 times, I’ve put together a super practical accommodation guide for you. Save it now 👇
🏨 Jinluan Bay Seaview Homestay
Price: Off-season 300-500/night, peak season 800+
Why recommend: Faces the best sunrise viewing spot at Jinluan Bay, most rooms are Instagram-style lofts with kitchens for cooking seafood
Address: No. 1 Jinluan Bay, Tongling Town, Dongshan County
🏨 Wind Moving Rock Scenic Area Hotel
Price: 400-600 year-round
Why recommend: 5-minute walk to Wind Moving Rock Scenic Area, all rooms have sea view balconies, falling asleep to the sound of waves at night is super healing
Address: Next to the parking lot of Wind Moving Rock Scenic Area, Dongshan Island
🏨 Aojiao Fishing Village Holiday House
Price: 200-400 (best value for money)
Why recommend: Original fishing village vibe, right at the fishing boat dock, seafood market is a 3-minute walk away, enjoy seafood freedom
Tip: Some rooms have no elevator, communicate in advance if you have large luggage
🌊 Room Selection Tips to Avoid Pitfalls:
1. Always choose a room with a balcony! Dongshan Island is very humid, clothes won’t dry easily indoors
2. Book at least 1 month in advance during peak season, especially near Jinluan Bay
3. If driving, prioritize hotels with free parking, parking spaces on the island are limited
4. Non-weekend prices are 30%-50% cheaper than weekends
🍤 Nearby Activities:
• Watch the sunrise at the mirror-like sandy beach of Jinluan Bay at 6 AM
• In the afternoon, visit Nanmen Bay to see the colorful houses featured in "The Left Ear"
• In the evening, go to Aojiao Fishing Village to watch fishing boats return to port
⚠️ Important Reminders:
• May to August is the fishing moratorium, seafood prices will be higher
• Getting a taxi on the island is inconvenient, renting an electric scooter is the most cost-effective (about 80/day)
• All hotels do not provide disposable toiletries, remember to bring your own
❤️ Dongshan Island is perfect for relaxing and daydreaming. Choose your favorite hotel, sleep in naturally every day, enjoy the sea breeze and seafood—this is the right way to vacation~
