无关风月

Itinerary day1: Stay at a hotel near Zhujiajian Port the day before. Wake up at 5:30 am the next day and take the earliest ferry at 6:50 am from Wugongzhi Port. It takes about two hours to arrive. First, go to Dongfushan Island, the easternmost island, settle in the homestay, have lunch, and take a nap. In the afternoon, go hiking on the island around 2-3 pm. The lighting will become soft around 4-5 pm, which is perfect for taking photos. Enjoy the sunset quietly from 5-6 pm. day2: Wake up at 4:30 am and walk about ten minutes to the eastern rocks to wait for the sunrise. I personally think that sunrise is the most beautiful time. The changes in light and shadow in just half an hour are amazing. If you have multiple devices, I recommend using one for taking photos and one for time-lapse. After watching the sunrise, take a short nap and take the 8:30 am ferry to Miaozi Lake. After storing your luggage at the pier, take a tour around the island by bike, visiting each attraction one by one. The best view is at the last attraction, near the lighthouse. The middle attractions are average, so you can skip them. Finish exploring Miaozi Lake in two hours! Take the boat back to Zhujiajian at 12:30 pm. You can rest on the boat for two hours and recharge for the afternoon. Store your luggage at Zhujiajian Port and buy a ferry ticket to Putuo Mountain at 4 pm. Putuo Mountain is actually quite large, but due to time constraints, we only visited three attractions. We first went to Puzhisi Temple (closes at 5:30 pm), then walked about 100 meters to Baibu Beach. We arrived there a little after 5 pm, just in time for the sunset. The beach was neither hot nor cold, perfect for playing around. We then went to the South Sea Guanyin Statue, but it was already dark and the scenic area was closed. We only caught a glimpse of the Buddha in the golden night light before returning. The latest boat back to Zhujiajian is at 10 pm, so we had plenty of time. Highlights of each attraction: Dongfushan Island: It may be a bit desolate and less commercialized, suitable for staying overnight and watching the sunrise and sunset. Miaozi Lake: There is no need to stay overnight. Taking a two to three-hour car ride around the lake is enough. Putuo Mountain: Originally, Putuo Mountain was not included in the itinerary. However, when the taxi driver heard that we were from out of town, he recommended that we go and take a look. So we squeezed in some time to visit. It turned out to be really good, and there were many places we didn't get to see. If it were a three-day, two-night trip, I would choose to spend a day here. Important notes: 1. Regarding ferry tickets: Ferry tickets to Dongji Island need to be purchased three days in advance on the "Zhiyou Haixing" app. Tickets are released at 5 am, so make sure to book in advance. 2. Regarding accommodation: Booking a homestay in advance may result in higher prices. It is recommended to book in advance during peak times, and compare and negotiate prices with multiple options if visiting during other times. 3. Regarding apps: It is recommended to use an app to check the sunrise and sunset times in advance. Arrive at the observation point 20 minutes early. I used the "Fengge Photography Assistant" app.
