Sizhou Archipelago—Be a Hyrule Warrior in the “Real-Life” Zelda Adventure

【Soul-Searching Before Landing】

1. Do you get seasick?

The speedboat’s bumpiness ≈ pirate ship + tractor duet. It’s recommended to take seasickness medicine in advance, or you might star in a live-action version of "The Old Man and the Sea"—vomiting until you question life.

2. Are you afraid of sunburn?

The island’s UV rays are like a “tanning accelerator.” Apply sunscreen as thickly as painting a wall, or your own mom might not recognize you when you return.

【Transportation Guide: How to Elegantly “Drift” to the Secret Paradise】

• High-speed train/plane: First arrive at Fuzhou/Wenzhou, then transfer to Xiapu Station, and finally take a taxi to Jishi Pier (the driver might ask: “Going to Zelda or Water City?”—firmly choose the former).

• Two boat options:

◦ Official ferry: 100 RMB/person, slow as an old ox (1.5 hours), but steady as Mount Tai, suitable for the wellness crowd.

◦ Speedboat: 200 RMB/person, 40 minutes direct, bumpiness ≈ sea disco, but you can be the first to get likes on your Moments.

【Photo Spots: Battle for the Center Stage on Social Media】

1. Dongzhu Island

◦ Photo pose: Wear a white dress standing at the cliff edge, let the sea breeze blow your skirt like Marilyn Monroe’s, with a 90° cliff + emerald sea background, instantly becoming a National Geographic cover girl.

◦ Hidden Easter egg: Find the “Emperor’s Hat” rock on the cliff; wear it and you’re the Napoleon of the island world.

2. Nanzhu Island

◦ Pebble wishing: Stack five stones = find love, ten stones = get rich (locals say: actually just an excuse because we’re too lazy to pick up stones).

◦ Snorkeling experience: Water so clear you can see the fish’s WeChat profile picture, but watch out for sea urchins—they’re more painful than your ex.

3. Hongzhu Island (Bird Island)

◦ Seagull socializing: From May to August, seagulls flock. Bring breadcrumbs to trigger the “bird swarm” effect, but beware they might “airdrop gifts” on your head.

4. Beizhu Island

◦ Fishing village photo studio: Shoot fishermen’s net-hauling silhouettes at dusk, caption with “At the end of the sea are the tears of the working people,” and get over a hundred likes.

【Accommodation Recommendations: Island Owner or Sea View, That Is the Question】

1. Just Met·Island Owner’s Homestay

◦ Selling points: 270° sea view room + free tour guide by the owner, dinner portions so big “you simply can’t finish” (bring digestive pills recommended).

◦ Drawbacks: Soundproofing ≈ none, snoring next door sounds like a tractor.

2. Cape of Good Hope Homestay

◦ Selling points: Elevator access + bar and nightclub, perfect for young people who are exhausted from hiking by day and partying by night.

◦ Easter egg: Watch fishing boats set off fireworks from the balcony, so romantic you might want to propose on the spot (single folks, bring your own lemons).

【Food Bomb: The “Manchu Han Imperial Feast” of Seafood】

1. Must-eat list:

◦ Mussel fried rice noodles: Mussels so plump you’d suspect they’ve been secretly taking protein powder.

◦ Wild yellow croaker soup: So fresh your tongue wants to dance, but watch out for fish bones—they’re harder to pick out than your ex.

◦ Seaweed cake: Xiapu specialty, tastes like seaweed-flavored compressed biscuits, perfect as travel snacks.

2. Avoidance guide:

Supplies on the island are scarce, bring your own snacks! Otherwise, you’ll be so hungry you’ll have to gnaw on coral (don’t ask how we know).

【Ultimate Advice: Stay Alive and Save Money】

• Weather superstition: Cloudy days = wasted trip, sunny days = forever! Check the weather before traveling, or you might be stuck on the island starring in “Cast Away” sequel.

• Dressing formula: Non-slip shoes + windbreaker = island warrior, slippers = slippery kneeling performance artist.

• Money-saving tip: Visit the island Tuesday to Thursday for 30% off homestays; weekends prices ≈ daylight robbery.
