Reverse travel is perfect for those traveling in May or June

Here's a Zhoushan travel guide! With the freshness of seafood and the blessing of Buddha's light, I guarantee you'll have fun, eat to your heart's content, stay comfortably, and not empty your wallet! --- ### **🚗 Transportation Routes** (depending on where you're coming from) 1. **From Hangzhou/Shanghai**: High-speed train to Ningbo, then a bus to Zhoushan (about 2 hours), or drive yourself (the cross-sea bridge is spectacular, remember to take photos and post them on social media pretending you're flying on the sea). 2. **For those who prefer flying**: Zhoushan Putuoshan Airport, not many flights, but convenient for lazy people. A taxi to the city center is about 30 minutes. 3. **Island transportation**: Bus + taxi + shared electric bikes (ride a small electric bike and feel the sea breeze, feeling like the main character in a seaside idol drama). --- ### **🌊 Must-Visit Attractions** (Buddhist and seafood coexist) 1. **Mount Putuo** – "Sea and Sky Buddhist Kingdom", with very prosperous incense, pray for love, career, and to keep your hair (sincerity is key!). Remember to eat vegetarian meals, pretending to be a pure-hearted person today. - **Transportation**: Take a boat from Zhujiajian Wharf, 15 minutes direct, tickets around CNY 30. 2. **Dongji Island** – Filming location of the movie "The Continent", suitable for artistic youths to take photos, daydream, and think about life (or think about what to eat for dinner). - **Transportation**: Take a boat from Shenjiamen Banshengdong Wharf, buy tickets in advance, peak season ticket grabbing is comparable to Singles' Day! 3. **Zhujiajian** – Beaches, waves, bikinis (or old men's swimming trunks), Nansha Beach for playing in the water, and self-driving along Daqingshan Island Ring Road is super cool! 4. **Shenjiamen Fishing Port** – Come at night to eat seafood stalls, brightly lit, full of life, remember to bargain, don't be ambushed by "seafood assassins"! --- ### **🦞 Delicious Recommendations** (Seafood lovers rejoice) 1. **Shenjiamen Night Stalls**: Fresh seafood made to order, recommended "Scallion Oil Swimming Crab", "Braised Beltfish", "Razor Clams Fried Rice Cake" (remember to wipe your mouth after eating, don't let crab shells hang on your face). 2. **Gaojiazhuang**: Seafood restaurant frequented by locals, prices are moderate, the taste is reliable, and the waitresses are as enthusiastic as your second aunt. 3. **Donghe Market**: Buy your own seafood and find a shop to process it, saving money and freshness (suitable for drama queens: "Boss, this fish just winked at me, is it fresh?"). 4. **Mount Putuo Vegetarian Cuisine**: The vegetarian meals in the temple are cheap and delicious, and you feel that your soul has been sublimated after eating (forget about seafood for the time being). --- ### **🏠 Accommodation Recommendations** (not expensive but clean) 1. **Zhujiajian/Shenjiamen Economy Hotels**: Home Inn, Hanting, etc., CNY 200–300/night, convenient transportation, suitable for budget travelers. 2. **Dongji Island Homestays**: CNY 300–500/night, facing the sea, with spring blossoms (there may be a lot of mosquitoes, remember to bring mosquito repellent). 3. **Mount Putuo Farmstays**: Staying on the island is convenient for getting up early to worship Buddha, the price is slightly more expensive, but it saves round-trip ferry tickets (being neighbors with the Bodhisattva, you sleep very soundly). --- ### **📌 Tips** 1. Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sunscreen! (unless you want to become grilled seafood) 2. Peak season (May–October) is crowded, book ferry tickets and accommodation in advance, don't wait until you get to the pier to wonder "Who am I and where am I". 3. Zhoushan people speak like they are arguing, but they are actually very enthusiastic, don't be scared (they are just naturally loud). --- Finally, I wish you have fun, eat to your heart's content, and your social media posts explode with likes! If you are too full from eating seafood, remember to take a walk on the beach to digest, maybe you can pick up a red envelope from the Dragon King~ ✔️
