There are many islands in Zhoushan, which is also a special place to visit in Zhoushan. The one you may have heard more about is Putuo Mountain in Zhoushan, but in fact there are many interesting attractions in Zhoushan, as follows I recommend it to everyone, let’s take a look! What places can you visit in Zhoushan?
Zhoushan is composed of more than 1,000 islands. The only one directly connected to the mainland is the main island. The island has the largest population in the city and is also a transit point for transportation.
Shenjiamen on the main island is the distribution center for seafood in Zhoushan. During the fishing season, the pier is extremely busy every day. Now moved to Donggang, Shenjiamen’s late-night snack stall has taken over the responsibility of exporting delicacies in the “fishing capital” and is a good place to soothe the soul on summer nights.
Zhoushan’s airport is located in Zhujiajian. This small island is connected to the main island by a cross-sea bridge. The tourist attributes of Zhujiajian are much better than that of the main island. Along the east coastline all the way south, the road is almost full of scenic spots, and there are some sections of the road around the island that are really beautiful.
There are many beaches on the island, some are free and some are charged, and there are sandy beaches and gravel beaches. You can go parasailing, sailing, or climb mountains to enjoy the scenery and watch the sunrise. The itinerary can be arranged very richly.
The Sand Sculpture Festival is an annual event in Zhujiajian, and this year’s sand sculptures are already available for viewing. It coincides with the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, so the work is mainly red-themed. By the way, this is also the regular performance venue of the "East China Sea Music Festival".
The Daqingshan National Park on the island is a place that everyone who has visited has said it is a good place. It has mountains and seas, is clean and pure, and can be regarded as a hidden corner of Zhoushan with few people and beautiful scenery.
Except for Zhujiajian, you have to take a boat to get to other places from Zhoushan. We have sorted out 4 outlying island destinations that are currently under tourism development and have high playability: Daishan Island, Putuo Mountain, Taohua Island, Dongji Island, and Shengsi Islands.
Daishan County is very close to Zhoushan Island and has Lulan Qingsha, known as the best beach in East China. There are three main islands in the county: Daishan, Xiushan and Qushan. They have natural scenery and cultural customs. It is very easy to visit. The second season of "Running Man" even filmed here.
Daishan Island has the most abundant scenic spots, including the island-ring highway, lighthouse museum, Dongsha Ancient Town, and Cape Park? The only drawback may be that the sea is mostly yellow.
Buddhist culture is the biggest highlight of Mount Putuo. The entire island is a scenic spot and is dotted with temples of all sizes. Since the Tang Dynasty, Putuo Mountain has been a Guanyin Dojo. The Buddhist atmosphere has been here for thousands of years and is still very popular today.
The Nanhai Guanyin Statue is a landmark building in Putuo Mountain. It is 33 meters high and stands on the seaside overlooking all living beings.
There was a folk saying that "if you go to Putuo in the South China Sea to burn incense, you won't burn half the incense in Luojia". Luojia Mountain, a small island that takes more than ten minutes by boat from Putuo Mountain, is said to be the place where Guanyin cultivated and became an immortal.
The attraction of Taohua Island, not far from the main island, is the film and television base. In Jin Yong’s martial arts masterpiece "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Huang Yaoshi lived on this small island in eastern Zhejiang. There are indeed many peach blossom trees planted on it. This is a suitable place for drama fans to check in, or you can choose to watch the sea and enjoy the flowers when the peach blossoms are in bloom.
And Dongji Island is a sacred place for literature and art. Here you can watch the first ray of sunrise in the East China Sea, take pictures of stone houses built on the mountains, and visit the legendary "Potala Palace on the Sea." Of course, there is also the filming location of "We Will Never Die", and the entire island is filled with a literary and artistic atmosphere.
Dongji is actually a collective name for several small islands. There are many things to see, and it is completely worth planning a separate trip.
The properties of Shengsi Islands and Dongji Island are similar, including Sijiao Island (main island), Shengshan Island, Gouqi Island, Flower and Bird Island and other islands. In addition to the unparalleled sea view, there is a unique uninhabited village here. There are no traces of human activity. Green plants cover the houses, turning the village into their territory. The scene is very dreamy.
Shengsi was developed later, and its attractions and accommodations are not as rich as Dongji Island. However, if you are starting from Shanghai, it is much more convenient to go to Shengsi.
