Various factors pushed me to the east of the motherland.

So

Just go east again

drop--

Check out the "Little Greece" of the East Gouqi Island

Accommodation part

The purpose is very clear: I chose a sea view room. When I wake up, I can see the healing blue. This color makes people say goodbye to the boredom in life and immerse themselves wholeheartedly in the healing of nature.

A good B&B can make the experience better. Whether it is eating or renting a car, you can find the B&B owner to solve the problem. We stayed in a B&B near the East Cliff cliff, so that we could get to the sunrise shooting location better and faster. After all, we had to get up at four o'clock.

The vast sea is here, floating across the sky and the earth; the long years are here, containing the present and the past. Looking in all directions, the water merges with the sky; thinking about the eight extremes in the distance, my heart is full of thoughts. Fusang is not far away, if it is close at hand; Penglai is easy to reach, it may be a thoroughfare. The wind is blowing and the waves are rising; the sun and the moon are dim, and Feng Yi is furious. The scenery is strange, the color is colorful; the sea is big, and the water is sweet. Boats are coming and going, taking advantage of convenience; fishermen are home, and there are no obstacles in their journey. There are east cliffs in the middle, which are naturally formed.

Dongya Cliff is the best place to watch the sunrise and is the easternmost point of Zhoushan Islands. It is tens of meters high and stretches for thousands of miles. At around four o'clock in the morning, the place was already crowded with people. Everyone "occupied" their own feng shui treasured spot to watch the sun, waiting for the first ray of sunshine in the morning.

While waiting, the most eye-catching things on the sea were the fishing boats passing by and the silvery farmed mussels.

The fishing boats here seem to be tireless, and the story of the accumulation of fishermen's lives is like a long and steady stream.

"How early did you say they started work?"

"I don't know, but it was earlier than us anyway."

On the day we waited for the sunrise, the clouds were a little thick, and the sun refused to show up. The sea breeze blew, and the sleepiness disappeared. Everyone was staring straight at the golden light on the other side.

"It's out, it's out." As everyone around him picked up their mobile phones, the sun finally broke through the clouds and revealed its head.

Although I was a little disappointed with the sunrise, the beautiful scenery on the sea still lived up to this early start. At this time, the sea and the sky meet, and the color of the sea becomes brighter.

After watching the sunrise, I walked around the other places on the East Cliff cliff. The sky has turned blue, and it would be nice to take an artistic photo in an iconic place.

I didn’t go to the next sunrise, but my friend who was traveling with me got up early very persistently and finally took the photo successfully.

Gouqi Island and Shengshan Island are closely connected. The sea water is blue and it takes about 30 minutes by car to cross the bridge. Along the way, I was sighing with my friends about the scenery on the roadside, it was so beautiful.

Soon we arrived at the wonders of mountains and seas.

Standing on the viewing platform, I took a lot of pictures. As if to make up for the regret of not going to Kenting before, Li Jiuzhe's Summer automatically played in my mind. The large stone monument "Wonderful Views of Mountains and Seas" is the greatest tribute to the natural landscape of the sea and sky. It gradually evolved into a cultural heritage and spiritual state.

There is a temple not far from the "Wonderful Wonders of Mountains and Seas" monument. It looks simple in appearance, but its shape is different from that of a Buddhist temple. Enshrined there is a statue of Mazu who protects fishermen. It is said that when fishing boats are going out to sea, they come here to worship Mazu and bless them for safe fishing.

See this yellow landmark? Friends who love milk tea, don’t miss it. This is a milk tea shop with a great reputation - the fifth most popular drink shop in Zhoushan. The signature taste is pretty good, and it’s perfect for taking photos. Find a good angle, quickly and accurately, and the film production rate will be extremely high. Be careful not to stand for too long. After all, you are on the cusp of the storm, so it is best not to catch a cold.

Take one after sunset

Standing on the mountains, I feel very beautiful

After seeing the wonders of the mountains and sea, we continued driving to the next viewing platform. Standing here is more like being in Santorini, hence the name Little Greece in the East.

Blue sea, blue sky, fishing boats, and people’s homes. It all looks so harmonious. More and more mussels are being cultivated on Gouqi Island. When the sun shines brightly, the silver light stretches endlessly.

Openness and tranquility are what I feel at this time. Hidden in the east of the East China Sea, the long and narrow island is surrounded by emerald blue waves. Breathing in the salty smell of the sea, I took some photos by the way.

As it was about to sunset, we went back to the wonders of the mountains and sea to watch the sunset. On the way, we encountered some fishing boats moored on the shore.

▲A picture of the sunset

The Wizard of Oz was given to it by everyone, and its original name was No Man's Village. It is highly recommended to bring two bottles of water with you when you come here - because you have to climb more than 1,000 steps to get back and forth. We went there in the morning, and the sun was very strong, but it still couldn't stop us from seeing the beautiful scenery.

There are various shades of green here. Standing on the observation deck, you can have a panoramic view of the uninhabited village.

It is said that this place was prosperous and prosperous in the 1970s and 1980s. With the impact of the reform and opening up, some people in the village got rich and could not withstand the temptation of the outside world. They gradually walked out of the closed fishing village, and gradually it became an uninhabited village.

Come into the village and feel the charm of this village.

The steps here are not easy to walk, so you have to look carefully at your feet every step you take.

The sunshine here is sometimes strong and sometimes obscure. There is a rest stop every time you walk up a flight of stairs. Looking at the scenery of the village from the platform, there are surprises everywhere.

Then walking forward, the creepers spreading all over the wall give the place a more literary and artistic atmosphere.

The almighty hand combs the hair, and any shot will be a literary blockbuster.

The Wizard of Oz that I have longed for is almost here, and I finally see a scene that is consistent with the online pictures I made for the guide before.

One side is green and the other side is blue. Living here is also very comfortable.

Although the uninhabited village has now become an uninhabited tourist attraction, through these, you can still feel the prosperity of the past.

There is nothing special in Xiyang Bay, the purpose is just to take pictures of the sunset. Standing on the viewing platform, what you feel is the cool sea breeze, and Jeju Island is no different.

Then it was time to wait for the sunset, another twists and turns of waiting experience. Just when we all thought we couldn't wait any longer, the sun showed half of its head and clicked a few times to capture this fleeting moment.

The moon came out after sunset. The bright moon rises over the sea, and the end of the world means now.

Time passed quickly, and my understanding of Zhoushan Islands became deeper. For cheap and delicious seafood, you can refer to the clips in the video.

Finally, I would like to thank the most low-key "photograph me" photographer in history - Lao He.
