Traveling to Dongshan Island is a choice for many friends during the holidays. Although the holiday has passed, Dongshan Island is still very suitable for visiting. The editor will tell you about Dongshan Island below. Some strategies, let’s learn more about Dongshan Island. Things to know before departure

1. Dongji Island is not a formal geographical name, nor does it refer to a single island, but a customary name for all islands under the jurisdiction of Dongji Town, Putuo District, Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province General term.

The main islands in East Pole include Miaozihu Island, Dongfushan Island, Qingbang Island and Huangxing Island.

The main island, Miaozi Lake Island, is the seat of the local government, has the most residents and is the most prosperous, and is the main transportation hub in East Pole.

The easternmost and farthest one is Dongfushan Island, which is generally referred to as "Dongji Island" by many people. It is the ultimate destination for many people to go to East Pole.

Qingbang Island, also in the east, is called the "Potala Palace on the Sea" by locals because the buildings on the island are built against the mountains and look like the Potala Palace. Qingbang Island allows fishing and swimming. There are relatively few people there, but it is also the quietest and most primitive island.

To the west is Huangxing Island, which is currently not very developed and tourists basically won’t go there;

2. It is recommended to go to Dongji Island from May to October, and to go in advance before departure Check the local weather. In the event of severe weather such as heavy rain and strong winds, the ship will be suspended. At the same time, the ship will be delayed due to light rain or heavy fog. It is necessary to arrange the departure time reasonably. It is recommended to reserve about one day to deal with emergencies. !Transportation: land + sea transport

Take the high-speed train or plane from the city to Ningbo, and then take the bus to Zhoushan. You can also consider taking a bus directly to Zhoushan from nearby cities (such as Nanjing, Shanghai, etc., you can search and buy at the local bus station or travel APP). Of course, you can also take a bus to Zhoushan Putuoshan Airport in your city.

After arriving in Zhoushan, go to Zhoushan Banshengdong Pier early the next morning to take a boat to East Pole. Tickets can be purchased on the official account three days in advance.

Search "Zhoushan Starfish Ferry" on the official account, follow the official account and choose to buy a ticket to Dongfushan (to Miaozi Lake Island).

Usually the first boat to Miaozi Lake Island is at 6:30. There will be more boats on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. It takes about 2 and a half hours from Banshengdong Pier to Miaozi Lake Island. .

The ticket price is divided into: 100 yuan for the lower cabin, 130 yuan for the middle cabin, and 150 yuan for the upper cabin.

It is generally recommended that friends who are prone to seasickness (easy to get motion sickness) should buy the lower cabin and prepare seasickness medicine. The lower cabin is smoother and cheaper than the upper cabin, but you cannot go outside the cabin to see the sea view. You can see the sea view from both the middle cabin and the upper cabin.

PS: There are no direct ferry tickets from Banshengdong Pier to Dongfukushima or Qingbang Island in Zhoushan. Visitors going to Dongfukushima or Qingbang Island later can purchase transfers at the mid-cabin service office Ferry tickets. This ticket is very sufficient and can be purchased by tourists who have boarded the ship. Tourists who go directly to Higashi Fukushima can purchase transfer tickets that depart at 11:00. If you are not in a hurry to transfer immediately and want to stay overnight at Miaozi Lake Island Tourists can buy transfer tickets based on their itinerary at the pier of Miaozi Lake Island. It costs 30 per person from Miaozihu Island to Dongfushan Island and 20 per person to Qingbang Island. It takes about 50 minutes to transfer to Higashifukushima and stop at Aohama Island on the way.

The earliest ferry tickets for the return journey from Dongfu Island to Miaozi Lake Island are at 7:30 and 9:00, and from Miaozi Lake Island to Shenjiamen Banshengdong Pier, you can take the corresponding tickets. At 11:50 and 13:15, just go to the pier ticket office in advance and buy it on the official account. When you arrive at Banshengdong Pier, take a taxi or take the bus to the bus station or Putuoshan Airport to return. Accommodation

1. If you live in Zhoushan, I recommend a youth hostel called "Yinian Youth Hostel".

Reason for recommendation: It is very close to Shenjiamen Bus Station. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to Zhoushan after exiting the bus station according to the navigation. The youth hostel is in a residential area. It is a double-story building. The youth hostel is hygienic. Clean, artistic style, the boss is very "Han Han", and there is a dog that is super lazy!

PS: You have to stay in Zhoushan the night before taking the boat to the East Pole. If you want to stay early on the day of departure, When boarding the ship, it is recommended to stay near Shenjiamen in Zhoushan. If you live far away, you will definitely have to get up very early, and it is not convenient to take a taxi to avoid missing the ship.

2. If you live in Miaozi Lake, it is recommended to stay at "Dongji International Youth Hostel".

Reason for recommendation: Dongji International Youth Hostel stands on the cliff on the seaside of Dongji Island. It is two independent small buildings. Every bed in every room can lie down and listen to the waves and watch the sea. The room is very clean and comfortable. Next to the hotel is the HEARTS Café, owned by the owner of the youth hostel. Visitors can drink coffee here. Look at the sea.

3. If you live in Higashi Fukushima, I recommend "Tata Youth Hostel".

Recommendation reason: This youth hostel is relatively famous in Dongji. The youth hostel was renovated from an elementary school. It is a two-story house. The outside looks a bit shabby. It looks like that, but it's quite clean and comfortable to live in. The boss is also a group of interesting girls and brothers, and occasionally organizes everyone to play Werewolf together at night. The youth hostel has cute dogs and cats. You can overlook the entire pier and coast outside the yard, which is great! However, the youth hostel is almost on the top of the island and it is hard to find. Fairies with large suitcases should be accompanied by boys. Of course, don’t worry if you don’t have it. There is a guy in the hotel who will hold a sign at the pier to pick up guests on time! Tips for traveling to Dongji

1. What should you bring with you when going to Dongji in summer: sunscreen, moisturizing lotion, and mosquito repellent? , the salty sea breeze under the scorching sun will rub salt on your face and legs, and there are many weeds, wildflowers and mosquitoes on the roadside while hiking around the island.

2. If you want to travel around the island on foot, it will be more comfortable to wear comfortable sports shoes or hiking shoes. Your legs and feet will hurt when you walk!

3. East Pole Scenery Although it’s nice, it’s not easy to get there. Transportation, food and accommodation are the main costs of travel. For example, a three-day trip from Nanjing costs 1K+ per person. If you have better food and better accommodation, the price will go up!

4. Travel tickets, boat tickets and accommodation should be booked in advance during popular times such as holidays, especially round-trip boat tickets from Zhoushan Banshengdong Pier to Miaozi Lake Island. Book at the right time. As for accommodation, don’t worry if you haven’t booked it online. There will be many stores picking up guests at the pier when you arrive on the island. You can also find a good place by looking around and shopping around in person.

5. Although the island is relatively short of supplies, with the increase in tourists, the island is gradually becoming commercialized. Alipay and WeChat are supported on the island, so just carry a small amount of cash with you.

6. Although the seafood in Dongji, Zhoushan is good, a lot of it depends on personal taste. At the same time, you must pay attention to hygiene and do not blindly try new things to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort.

7. The residents on the island are very warm and honest, but with the increase in tourists, you still need to pay attention to the safety of personal property and life. Try not to travel alone. When going around the island, follow the signs and warning signs and follow the main road. Stay away from overgrown paths and dangerous areas; do not climb reefs and rocks, do not walk on slippery areas near reefs, do not go into the sea privately, and do not check in at dangerous places.
