Which island of Zhoushan Islands is the most interesting?

Zhoushan Archipelago is located along the East China Sea. It is the land of fairy island in the ancient East China Sea. There are many ancient myths and legends, including Peach Blossom Island in martial arts novels. This island, which is both familiar and unfamiliar to China people, is definitely worth a visit. Share with you which island in Zhoushan Islands is the most fun?

Gouqi Island and Shengshan Island in Zhoushan Archipelago are the most interesting.

Zhoushan is the first place to know, and it is also the Zhoushan fishing ground where I studied in geography class. Fishing ground, it sounds difficult to combine with "beauty".

Until one day, my friends in Hangzhou told me about this place and even described a fishing ground as "extremely beautiful", and I immediately became interested.

This place rarely appears on the mass tourist map. Known as the "Little Greece" of China, it has few people and beautiful scenery, as if a fresh film filter was added naturally.

This is a fishing village in Zhoushan Islands.

At first, I wanted to go to Dongji Island, but my friend stopped me. Because Han Han's immortal film made it famous, many people came here, and the original ecological island became more and more like a holiday resort.

My friend said to go to Goubuli Island, which has not been developed yet. So I have the next great travel experience to share with you.

Poke the video first, from high altitude

Enjoy the charming scenery here.

Four-day tour of Gouqi Island

Day 1 day Hangzhou-Zhoushan Island

The next day Gouqi Island experienced local life.

The third day: panoramic view of the island, no village to see traces of historical changes.

On the fourth day, avoid the toll attractions and go to Huangluzui for free to watch the beautiful sunrise.

Note: Gouqi Island and Shengshan Island are two islands connected by a bridge and can be played together.

1. Expectation and excitement brought by sailing

I was so excited from the moment I boarded the ship at the dock that I was not afraid of seasickness!

Look at the water content of the sea twice, and you can clearly see the boundary between yellow and blue after driving for almost an hour, and then you can see the difference between blue and blue after driving for another hour. It can be seen that the farther away from Zhoushan Island, the better the waters near Gouqi Island are protected.

Standing by the boat and looking into the distance, occasionally a boat appeared not far away, and the bright red five-star red flag was flying. I don't know why I feel lonely and proud every time, and I feel how small people are in this vast ocean.

The cruise ship is divided into two floors, with seats and sleepers. If you think the four-hour flight is too far, it is recommended to buy a sleeper, which will be very comfortable to sleep.

People who come to the island are generally divided into two types, those who eat seafood and those who take pictures.

2. Just like the locals, experience the local life.

Almost half of the first day was spent on the boat, and it was after eleven o'clock in the morning when we arrived.

After all, I'm new here, inexperienced and troublesome. I thought there was still a certain distance between Shengshan Island and Gouqi Island, so I took a taxi directly to my residence. The asking price is 50, and the landlord asked us to bargain down to 40. In fact, it only costs 2 yuan by bus and only takes a few minutes. So when you get there, it is recommended to take a bus and walk a few steps from the disembarkation place. The bus stop is opposite the aquatic product market.

I always think that traveling can make you really feel local, only by going deep into their lives. So you can try to experience everything related to local people's daily life.

I just arrived at my residence, arranged it properly and ate a bowl of seafood noodles at my residence. The cost is 30 pounds, which is a reasonable price in the local area. Most of the homestays here are similar to inns.

The family we live in is local, and the whole family lives in this house. In order to experience their life well, I got on the bus with the landlord and went to the seafood market in Shengshan Island to buy seafood. Shengshan Island and Gouqi Island are separated by a bridge. If I can't get the sun, I'd rather walk there, because the scenery of that cross-sea bridge is so beautiful.

The seafood market here is not very big, but there are enough varieties and freshness, many of which have just been shipped from the sea. Fortunately, we caught up with the fishing ban when we were eating seafood, and the fishing ban stopped in mid-August. Therefore, if we catch up with the fishing moratorium, we may not be able to eat such delicious seafood.

In fact, time is very important to go to a place to play.

I visited the market twice and talked with them. There are shouts everywhere, of course, not annoying shouts, but a sense of intimacy.

Girl, come and eat this big crab. You want a man and a woman. Look how fat it is. After a tour, I bought sea urchins/crabs/squid and only spent 42 yuan. I happily went home to take it to the landlord (there is a processing fee for cooking for the landlord, and a dish is 20 yuan regardless of vegetarian food, so the processing fee is more expensive than the ingredients).

I chose to walk when I came back, and I wanted to see the life here slowly.

As the sun sets, the fishermen returning from the sea on the dock are unloading their trophies, which seems to be fruitful. Stray dogs on the riverbank walk lazily, not afraid of people at all. Although full of fishy smell, this life is real.

Walking on the road, the sea breeze has been blowing, and at first glance, there are lighthouses and endless oceans.

Passing by two uncles fishing in the sea, they asked me if I could catch fish here. They smile. No, it's all in that box It's windy now, so it's not easy to fish. How long is the fishing line at this height? Is it hard to pull up? I asked with a puzzled face. Uncle said that there are six hooks on a fishing rod, so it is really difficult to pull a bigger fish out.

Later, I learned that the two of them are from Jiaxing and like sea fishing, so they often come to this island. This is the real island life, isn't it? Unlike mass tourist attractions, it's really great to relax in it.

Near dusk, people on the shore are still busy weaving nets to repair ships. People walk on the beach in twos and threes, and some people swim in the sea. I sat on the rocks by the sea and looked at the boats in front and the locals carrying water. Suddenly I felt isolated, and I enjoyed it.

The seafood bought from the market in the afternoon became the most delicious dinner, and our table faced the sea. It's wonderful to watch the sea while enjoying dinner.

I am a runner, and I can't wait to go anywhere. I think it is also a good choice to go to a place and feel it through running. Therefore, it is natural to go running with the sea breeze at night.

There are roads around the sea, street lamps and sea breeze. Is there anything better than this? Then my friend said, "I can't run away." In order to ensure your safety, I will follow you with a drone. " I rolled my eyes a hundred times and really made excuses for my laziness. If you like running, you might as well try it.

The undeveloped place is really charming.

Wonders of mountains and seas

The wonders of mountains and seas are on Shengshan Island. We took a bus from Gouqi Island to Dawangtan, and then walked up the mountain. Coincidentally, while waiting for the bus, I met two uncles in Serene. They came over and greeted us warmly. They were just going to Shengshan Town, and when they learned that we didn't have breakfast, they told us that besides seafood noodles, there were soybean milk fried dough sticks to eat in the town, and a few dollars was enough. Let's get something to eat before we start.

Because the mountain and sea wonders we are going to are in the opposite direction to the town, we temporarily changed our minds when they said this, so we had dinner before we set off. Later, they stopped a taxi to let us go together and wouldn't let us pay the fare. The kindness of strangers is very touching.

Because it is around the mountain road, you can see the whole island. Houses of all colors and fishing boats parked in the sea. There is an illusion, like being in a seaport town in Europe. There is no one except the occasional car coming from the road. We rented this mountain, which is a great feeling.

There is a temple here, but I didn't go in. Just attracted by the bright yellow house next to it.

This reminds me of the last scene of the movie The Truman Show.

It's so beautiful here, just like in a movie.

The wonders of mountains and seas are an excellent place to watch the sunset, but we came at noon because of the change of itinerary. If you are lucky enough to catch up, you may encounter a sunset that you will never forget.

Abandoned village

Chatting with the local people, I learned the origin of the uninhabited village, which literally means a village without people. Because the village is remote and the traffic is inconvenient, all the people who lived here twenty years ago moved out. Houses in uninhabited villages are all dangerous buildings and covered with creepers, but now they have become a scenic spot.

When I saw the uninhabited villages on the road, there were tomb-like monuments on the top of the mountain and on the roadside, and I was numb all over, so I tried to avoid taking pictures of them. It is said that there is also a military base here. I happened to meet a soldier brother on the road. He parked his car on the side of the road and showed us the way enthusiastically.

Because it is a scenic spot, tickets are also needed here. Usually, the ticket for the uninhabited village is 100. If you only go to the observation deck, it costs 20 yuan. It's a pity that there was a breeze of seven or eight that day, and there was no ferry, so we couldn't go to the uninhabited village by water.

We don't think it is necessary to spend 20 yuan on the observation deck, because we can already see the whole picture of the uninhabited village on the highway above, so we choose not to go in.

Wit, we flew in the drone to look carefully, because it was windy that day. I dared to fly the plane because I gave birth to a calf and was not afraid of tigers. I was sweating.

Sunrise at Egret Mouth

More and more believe that the place where fees are charged is not necessarily the most beautiful place.

For example, when watching the sunrise, many people will choose the East Cliff and get tickets to 50 yuan. And we chose the yellow heron mouth recommended by the local people, which is also the best choice to watch a magnificent sunrise for free.

In the past, I often went to some scenic spots to watch the sunrise. People are huge, so it is difficult to find a good location, such as the sunrise in Jingshan Park, let alone a place like Mount Tai.

But here, you choose your position at will. At 4: 30, we arrived at our destination by bus with two other friends who live here.

This master is very kind. His car was rented on the island. The price is also very affordable, 1 *** 160, 40 per person (when we came, the driver said that he wanted 260 chartered cars, which was still a bit outrageous). I made an appointment with him to pick him up on the hour the next day. Because there is no traffic jam on the island, it is generally not late and has a strong sense of time.

So if you want to watch the sunrise, you need to book a car in advance.

It was already dawn when I arrived, and the brightly lit fishing boats on the sea had already started sailing. Looking at this scene, I feel a little lonely.

From the top of the mountain to the platform, I was completely happy, spinning and jumping to get carried away. Good things always make people doubt their authenticity.

A middle-aged uncle was waiting for the sunrise, playing Tai Chi facing the sea. The sea beat the rocks on the shore so hard, but the uncle on the shore was infatuated. This scene is actually a bit of a blow to the soul.

When the sun rises above sea level, it is amazing. Only when it comes out do you think it's amazing. Look up in other directions. The powder cloud is connected with the sea breeze, and it is continuous. Probably because there are few people. Everything is so beautiful, there is no external noise.

Later, many people asked, where is this and why is it so beautiful? Is it abroad? I was asked more than once, starting with this island. Of course, the beauty that photos can convey is far less than the real feelings.

People here live a leisurely life, simple folk customs, have no strong sense of business, and just live their normal lives.

The house here is built on the hill. When climbing a mountain, you will walk up the steps along the path, and there are houses on both sides.

The higher you go, the busier the local fishermen are drying seafood. They have dark skin and will greet us with a smile.

This is the real island life, which can't be compared with those islands for vacation and sightseeing. Those places are full of tourists and see business. It is impossible to penetrate into the lives of local residents.

I was selfish at that moment. I hope this place will not be developed again. That's all.

Because the return ticket will be more difficult to buy, just in case, we bought a return ticket from the landlord.

I spent a short but leisurely few days. Maybe I don't have to hurry. I want to experience life here by slowing down, even if I go to one less place.

We don't need tickets to go anywhere on the island, so all you spend on the island is the fare and accommodation. A place like this is very suitable for a holiday and relaxation.

In the next issue, I will tell you about Zhoushan Island, Zhujiajian Island Island and the story of the landlord I met, mainly from the perspective of humanity. Stay tuned.

traffic

There are many routes to Gouqi Island, which can be obtained from:

Departure from Shanghai Terminal: nanpu bridge Huangpu Bus Terminal, Shengsi Shanghai-Li Zhushan Terminal-Shengsi Caiyuan Terminal-Shengshan Island;

Zhoushan shenjiamen Wharf Departure: Zhoushan shenjiamen Putuo Passenger Transport Center-Zhoushan shenjiamen Banfu Shengdong Wharf-Shengshan Island.

Tickets to the island are usually hard to get. There are only two trips a day, and the boat won't sail in bad weather. The voyage lasted four hours.

There are buses around the island and taxis at Shengshan Pier. It is recommended to take the bus, which is very cheap, only 2/3 yuan, depending on where you live. Taxis usually start at 30.

skill

Buy tickets one day in advance, at the dock or online (it's very important to buy tickets! ! ! )

Shenjiamen Banshoudong Wharf is on sale at the pier window from 2: 30pm to 4: 30pm. It's best to queue up in advance, especially on weekends.

Online ticket purchase can be made on the official account of WeChat WeChat Zhoushan Starfish Ship, but the quantity is limited.

There is no formal official online purchase channel at Shengsi Li Zhushan Wharf. You can buy it at Shengsi Bus Terminal one day in advance, but there are few pre-sales. You can also queue up at the dock to buy on the same day.

stay

There are many homestays to choose from on the island, but you need to book in advance when you meet holidays. B&B's accommodation environment is not bad. Generally, it is a sea view room with a good view.

Because to experience the local life, the journey is very slow. I stayed on Lycium barbarum Island for 3 days. Starting from Hangzhou, I stayed in Zhoushan for one night. The next day, I boarded the boat at Bansheng East Wharf in shenjiamen, Zhoushan, and bought the ticket online the day before.

The homestay in Zhoushan is a sea view room. At first, I didn't have any special expectations for the landlord's hospitality, but it was actually the opposite of what I thought. She is the best landlord I have ever seen. I not only drove to pick it up, but also prepared tiramisu and flowers (because it was Qixi)

I was moved by all the details. It's really gratifying to see such a landlord in China. The story about the landlord and B&B's contact experience with travel will be written separately in the next article. Please wait patiently.

Tips:

1. When you arrive in Zhoushan, don't listen to the places recommended by taxi drivers for eating. They will take the head fee and the food is expensive and not authentic. I didn't know until I stepped on the pit (later the landlord told us this routine); There are many shopping places in Zhoushan. It is recommended that a great place to eat seafood noodles is called Jianhai. The ingredients in it are all seafood selected by themselves, which is delicious. 3. You can rent a battery car to ride; Zhoushan is separated from Zhujiajian Island Island by a bridge. If you want to see Putuo Mountain and some scenic spots there, you can choose to stay in Zhoushan for two more days. I have the experience of fishing in Zhujiajian Island Island.
