China's Most Beautiful Island—A Must-Visit at Least Once in Your Lifetime

Help! The divine island everyone’s been asking about! Missing out on Nanji Island will really make you cry😭

Babes! Who understands!! I declare Nanji Island as the TOP 1 must-visit on my lifetime list💥!! This "Little Greece of the East" hidden in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, is perfect for effortless Instagram-worthy shots📸, with turquoise sea and blue sky, golden beaches, and healing-style guesthouses... so beautiful I’m at a loss for words! No more talking, quickly save this super comprehensive guide, missing it will really break your legs🦵!

📍 Location: Pingyang County, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province. It’s one of China’s top ten most beautiful islands🌊 and was named "China’s Most Beautiful Island" by China National Geographic!

🚢 Transportation Guide:

- How to get there: Take a boat from Wenzhou Aojiang Pier or Rui’an Pier to Nanji Island⛴️. Tickets are extremely hard to get! It’s recommended to book the "Princess" ferry ticket 3 days in advance on "Nanji Passenger Tourism," as intense as grabbing concert tickets🎫! The fast boat takes about 1.5 hours. If you get seasick, remember to bring motion sickness medicine💊—don’t ask me how I know...
- Island transportation: After arriving, you need to buy a scenic area bus pass🚌 (45 RMB/person). The island’s attractions are scattered, so this is essential! Don’t even think about walking around unless you want to experience the “vanishing from the world” feeling😅

🎫 Ticket Information: Adult tickets are 80 RMB/person, students get half price! It’s recommended to buy a package (including ticket + boat ticket) for better value💰!

🏝️ Must-Visit Spots:
1️⃣ Dashao’ao Beach: The “beauty queen” of Nanji Island👑! The sand is so fine it feels like walking on milk powder🍼, and the sea is as blue as a spilled palette! You can surf🏄‍♀️ or dig for crabs (lots of little crabs and hermit crabs🦀) during the day, and don’t miss the sunset🌇 in the evening! The orange-red glow on the sea is romantically heart-melting!
2️⃣ Sanpanwei: The island’s “photo heaven”📷! Wake up at 5 AM to watch the sunrise🌅, with misty grasslands and the first rays of sunlight, it feels like stepping into a fairy tale! The super popular “natural lawn” is perfect for posing with amazing vibes, guaranteed to blow up your social feed💥!
3️⃣ Mazuo: A hidden gem! The sunset here is quieter and gentler than Dashao’ao🌄. You can also experience fishing trips on fishing boats🐟 and have your fresh catch cooked at local stalls for seafood freedom🦐! Secretly, if you come here at night, you might see the blue tears💧—like stars falling into the sea, breathtakingly beautiful!
4️⃣ Meiling Residence: Full of Republic of China era vibes🏰! The villa built by Chiang Kai-shek for Soong Mei-ling is vintage and mysterious, like traveling back in time, perfect for retro photo shoots📸!

🏠 Accommodation Recommendations:

- Seaview Guesthouses: Highly recommend "Lost·Sanpan" and "Yuehai Grass House," with sea views right outside your window🌊, and you can watch the sunrise from bed! Prices range from 300-800 RMB, book early!
- Camping: Both Sanpanwei and Dashao’ao have camping sites⛺️, you can bring your own tent or rent one! Fall asleep to the sound of waves and wake up to sunshine, super healing~

🍤 Food Guide:
Seafood on Nanji Island is ridiculously cheap!🦞🦀🦐

- Food Stalls: Near Dashao’ao, there are many food stalls. Highly recommend steamed wild yellow croaker, spicy stir-fried whelks, and salt and pepper mantis shrimp. You can eat until you’re full for about 80 RMB per person!
- Specialty Snacks: Fish ball noodles🍜, meat swallow (rouyan), seaweed pancakes, so fresh your eyebrows will fall off! Especially the fish balls, chewy and bouncy, with broth so delicious you can drink three bowls!

⚠️ Pitfall Tips:
1️⃣ Don’t buy seafood at the pier! Prices are doubled and you might get shortchanged. It’s better to go to the island’s seafood market🦞 for fresh and cheap seafood!
2️⃣ The island has very strong UV rays🌞. Sunscreen, sun hats, and sunglasses are all must-haves, or you’ll get sunburned in no time!
3️⃣ Check the weather in advance! If there’s strong wind or heavy fog, boats will stop running🚢. A wasted trip will really make you cry😭!
4️⃣ Island prices are relatively high, so bring some snacks and drinks🍟. After all, it’s better to spend your money on seafood!

Babes! Nanji Island is truly a divine island you’ll want to visit again and again!! Trust me, you must come once in your life, you’ll thank me for this recommendation!!💖 Quickly grab your complaining bestie or boyfriend and head to this island rendezvous together~
