Dongtou Scenery

Wenzhou Three Days Two Nights Slow Self-Driving Tour 🌊 A Healing Trip to Dongtou’s Blue

🚗【Trip Highlights】
Chase the first ray of sunlight over the East China Sea 🌅, pass through colorful fishing villages, and fall asleep to the sound of waves on this three-day trip! Dongtou fulfills all my fantasies of a "Little Jeju Island," with its healing scenery made up of beaches + reefs + grasslands + fishing boats, every snapshot looks like a postcard~

🏖️【Itinerary】
DAY1️⃣: Wenzhou Golden Coast Kaiyuan Mingdu Resort Hotel
▫️Drive straight to the 270° sea view room upon arrival. The hotel features an 800-meter beach and reef boardwalk. The "Orange Sea" at dusk is breathtaking (📍Address: Haixia Village, Beiao Street, Dongtou District)
▫️Tips: Be sure to experience the starry sky RV camp, listening to the waves and watching the stars at night is super romantic✨

DAY2️⃣: Dongtou Scenic Area Walking Day
✔️Banpingshan: A 15-minute hike to the summit, where the fishing boats below the cliff look like Lego toys (🎫Ticket 30 RMB)
✔️Xiandieyan: Stand on the glass walkway to capture the crashing waves; I was so scared my legs shook while taking photos 🤣
✔️Jiucaiao Beach: Evening clam digging at low tide, with a popular swing on the grass by the beach

DAY3️⃣: Check in at an Instagrammable Fishing Village
▫️Colorful Oil Painting Village: Houses painted in macaron colors, the café "Left Bank · Yu" in the alley is worth spending an afternoon at
▫️Huagang Fishing Village: A cluster of century-old stone houses converted into guesthouses, and at the fishing boat dock, you can buy mantis shrimp at 10 RMB for 3 jin

🍤【Food Notes】
▪️Old Captain Seafood Restaurant: Scallops in scallion oil served in a basin (📍No. 38, Central Street, Dongtou Town)
▪️Highly recommend! The sticky rice + salty soy milk combo at Kaiyuan Hotel breakfast
▪️Avoid: Be cautious with seafood stalls near the scenic area; it’s better to drive to Dong’ao Dock to buy fresh seafood and have it cooked

📸【Photo Guide】
☑️Light-colored long dress + straw bag = fairy island vibe
☑️The light is softest at 9 AM / 4 PM
☑️Hidden spot: The abandoned lighthouse behind Banpingshan, requires climbing a small hill

💡Practical Tips:
1. Dongtou wind is very strong! Make sure to tie your hat tight
2. Taxi service on the island is inconvenient; renting a car or hiring a driver is recommended (we rented a Bora for 200 RMB/day)
3. Bring mosquito repellent in summer, the bugs in the grass are very enthusiastic 😂
