Come here, and you won't need to visit Jeju Island!!!

Planning a trip to Wenling Duijie Viewing Platform? Listen up—this "firsthand guide" is a must-read! For a morning visit, start early. I drove there myself—just navigate to "Duijie Viewing Platform." There's a free parking lot at the mountain top, but spaces are limited. I arrived at 8 AM and snagged the last spot; later arrivals might have to park roadside and walk up. The platform features two ring-shaped cliffside viewing decks resembling a pair of rings embedded in the mountain. The views are breathtaking! Below, you'll see a picturesque fishing village with stone houses, and beyond, the rolling sea. On clear days, the water shimmers in turquoise—no filter needed. I brought a light-colored dress for photos, and the sea-and-sky backdrop created a dreamy vibe. For the best shots, use the outer deck to capture the village and bay in one frame. To avoid crowds, aim for sunrise (I skipped it, but others' misty dawn photos looked magical) or sunset. I stayed until 4 PM when the golden-red sunset painted the sea and even the rooftops glowed—far more photogenic than daylight. Tired? Pop into a nearby café for an iced Americano and ocean views—great value. For lunch, drive 10 minutes to Xiaoruo Village. I grabbed seafood at a local eatery: peppery mantis shrimp and scallion oil crab, fresh as if just caught, paired with ice-cold beer—pure bliss! Bonus: Explore the area! After the platform, I rented an e-bike and cruised the coastal greenway, savoring sea breezes and waves crashing on rocks—way better than being cooped up in a car. I stayed overnight at a nearby luxury B&B with an ocean-facing terrace. Falling asleep to waves and waking up to sunrise? Worth every penny! Tips: Wear comfy shoes—some platform sections have steps. Summer visitors, pack sunscreen—coastal UV is intense. For crowd-free panoramas, early birds win!
