From the beginning of the year, I said I would take my children out to play, and I couldn't make it until the end of August. The location was changed from Japan to Zhoushan, the mode was changed from flying to driving, and the holiday was changed from 5 days to 2 days. It can be described as a discount trip. I haven't taken annual leave for four years in a row.
Time's up. Pick a place. Last weekend was 4 days, I didn't want to be too tired. The target circle is within half a day's drive. It is required to be cooler. The average temperature in Zhoushan is 3-4 degrees lower than that in Suzhou. In fact, it turns out that it is not much cooler.
1 self-driving: an impressive bridge
On the morning of 20th, we set out from Suzhou and set the sailing destination as Nansha, Zhujiajian Island Island. Self-driving has brought serious procrastination. Originally scheduled to leave at 9 o'clock, it's almost 10 now. To make matters worse, I was stuck on the expressway as soon as I left Suzhou. Fortunately, after Jiaxing, the road is smoother and the scenery is more and more beautiful. What impressed me most on the road were several bridges, all of which were very distinctive. The first is the Hangzhou Bay Bridge, which is 36 kilometers long. When it was first built, it was the longest bridge in the world, but now it can only rank third in the world. The guardrail of the bridge is painted in red, orange, yellow, green, blue and other colors, which is as pleasing to the eye as in the fairy tale world. The total number of colors should be seven. I counted with Xiaoshi and only counted five. Zhoushan is an archipelagic terrain, and you have to go through the Zhoushan sea-crossing bridge to enter Zhoushan. In fact, it is composed of five bridges, namely Jintang Bridge, Xihoumen Bridge, Taoyaomen Bridge, Xiangjiaomen Bridge and cengang Bridge, with a total length of 48 kilometers, and each bridge is different. The car drove here, the mountain is the mountain, the water is the water, and the road is the road, which is very harmonious. From shenjiamen to Nansha, it used to be accessible only by water, but now it's amazing to drive for half an hour.
Zhujiajian Island Island: There are a lot of tourists.
Zhujiajian Island Island is an island, one of the main scenic spots in Zhoushan, and the easternmost place that Zhoushan can reach by car. There are many scenic spots on the island. We bought joint tickets for Nansha, Wushitang and Baishan.
Nansha is the largest beach on the island. On the first day of my stay, I booked Nansha Resort next to Nansha. When I arrived at the hotel, it was past 3 pm. Because it was too hot, I blew the air conditioner in the hotel first, and I took a nap in bed. I bought tickets to Nansha after 6 o'clock, and there were a lot of people. The beach walking project can only be changed to watching people on the beach. There is a bathing beach, but the water is muddy, and the children don't mind, so they go down to play in the water. The biggest difference between bathing beaches and lakes, rivers and museums is that there are waves, and people will be thrown up and down by the waves in the water, which is very interesting. After half past six, the crowd gradually dispersed and we walked back and forth in shallow water.
2 1 morning, in the women's volleyball final of the Olympic Games, a family of three chose to stay in the hotel to watch the game through democratic voting. The game was wonderful, the start was not smooth, the process was correct and the result was satisfactory. Most people watched the game, your circle of friends also made a fortune, and I watched it, so I won't say much. Only talking about "spirit * *" in the program after the victory seems that winning the championship is the power of spirit, and there is no spirit without winning the championship. After the game, I also watched the development of some women's volleyball teams in recent years. Objectively speaking, Lang Ping's personal contribution is great, but his voice of affirmation is not high.
Wushitang is a bay in the east of Zhujiajian Island Island, which is named after all black stones. Many tourists will pick it up and take it away. I asked Xiaoshi if he wanted to take one back, but Xiaoshi didn't agree. We sat on a stone to have a rest, and walked barefoot in the sea for a while. A long levee was built along the coast, and there were some stalls selling seafood and food on the levee. We chose a cold drink seller, ordered ice cream and sat down, eating ice cream and blowing the sea breeze. Looking eastward, there is a calm bay under the blue sky. There are many busy ships on the water, and the green hills on both sides are opposite. There are some water amusement facilities in the scenic spot, which are challenging and adventurous. I played very simply with Xiaoshi.
Come out of Wushitang, find a restaurant to fill your stomach, and then climb Baishan. Probably because of the hot weather, there are few people. The mountain is not big, but the road is tortuous. There are three places that pass through the cracks of very crowded stones, and only slim people can pass through them. The narrowest third level, we push sideways. Climbing halfway up the mountain is a rest area, and Xiaoshi doesn't want to climb any more. I told him that the top of the mountain was Guanyin Dance with the footprints of Guanyin Bodhisattva on it. He wanted to see it, so we set off again. My wife was a little tired, but in order to exercise her son's will, she decided to keep going up. When I was tired, I told my son that the mountain would be conquered by us and we would step on it. We shouted slogans and walked all the way up. When I reached the top of the mountain, I found I was glad you came. We saw the footprints of Guanyin. Sitting on the top of the mountain, we can see the Putuo Mountain opposite. It is very beautiful. There is an island by the sea. On the top of the mountain, it looks like a turtle lying in the water. When you pass the Buddha viewing platform when you go down the mountain, you can see a huge Guanyin statue carved on the cliff. Baishan Mountain is generally not high and is worth climbing. By climbing the mountain, I exercised the will of Xiaoshi and learned that only by making more efforts can I see more beautiful scenery.
Shenjiamen: a prosperous port.
2 1 We stayed in shenjiamen at night, because the only way to get to Dongji Island is by boat from shenjiamen's Banshengdong Pier. I ate seafood for two days in a row, and I was a little hurt. In the evening, I searched a delicious vegetarian restaurant of Meituan, a vegetarian buffet. We walked to the hotel, just in time to enjoy the fishing port of shenjiamen. It was already dark when I came out. I walked east along Bingang Road. The fishing port is beautiful, and the lighthouse opposite stands on the top of the mountain, which is very conspicuous. The ships on the water are lit up, and the lights are flashing under the reflection of the water, which is a bustling and busy scene. In the evening, the Bingang Road is very lively. The square dance aunts have already started activities, and there is a local human tricycles on the road. The price is similar to that of a taxi, but it is in harmony with the style of the fishing port. My son hasn't sat on it, but we did it once on purpose when we went back from dinner. Looking at the map, I can't find a vegetarian restaurant. A local young man enthusiastically asked me what I was looking for. I told him, and he said it was next to it, and the decoration was closed. Disappointed, we casually found a dumpling restaurant in the northeast and ordered jiaozi to eat.
4. East Pole: Island & Clean Sea Water
Go to the East Pole on the 22nd. Dongji Island is the easternmost group of islands in Zhoushan, more than 40 miles away from shenjiamen. Ships to the island run four times a day, and there will be more on weekends. Due to the tourism boom in the East Pole in recent years, tickets in the tourist season are extremely tight. Some netizens said that they should get up early at five or six in the morning and queue up to buy. The company also opened WeChat to buy tickets, only 50 tickets were sold per class, and tickets for the next day began to be sold at 2: 30 pm. 2 1 I remembered to buy a ticket at 2: 40 pm, so I opened WeChat. The 8: 45 flight was sold out, so I had to buy 1 1: 30. In addition to the above two channels, you can also buy from Taobao. The price is tens of dollars.
Our ship is the Happiness, in the middle cabin. The whole ship can hold about 500 people. The seats were a little crowded, but fortunately, most of the passengers went sightseeing by the boat as soon as it left. The whole journey lasted two hours. The farther east, the cleaner the sea water is, and the color changes from yellow near the shore to light green and green. About halfway through, the sea suddenly changed from green to blue. Standing on the boat, you can clearly see a dividing line, which is amazing.
Dongji Island is made up of many small islands. The three largest islands are inhabited, and the largest is Miaozihu Island, which is also the residence of Dongji Town Government. 13:30, Happiness arrived at the pier of Miaozihu Island on time. After landing on the island, I found hotels and restaurants everywhere. Everyone on the island lives in a safe haven, and the house is built on the hill. There is a narrow street on the island called Laojie. In my opinion, it can only be regarded as a "lane". There are various facilities in the street, such as banks, post offices and shops. Most of the houses are made of stone, and they are not near. According to the aborigines, there are fewer and fewer locals on the island, most of the young people have gone out, and the children have gone to shenjiamen to attend middle schools. We saw many uninhabited dilapidated stone houses on the island, which also confirmed this point. The island is losing its residential function in disgrace, leaving only the function of sightseeing. No wonder, on this island, which is far away from the mainland and doesn't even send online shopping and express delivery, many basic functions necessary for modern life are difficult to meet.
In the afternoon, take sightseeing bus around the island, drive around the island for a week, and stop in the middle, so you can get off and play. If we keep walking, we can take the next bus. Passing through a coastal defense camp in the middle, I met the PLA with a sickle to work. The mountain road is uneven and the small stone is extremely nervous. Tell the people who get on the bus at the back not to take this car, it's driving too hard.
There is a beach to the north of the island. Xiaoshi doesn't want to go to the seaside. We followed the car to Dongxiang Pavilion. Through the pavilion, a long stone step went down to the seaside. It was a big stone beach, and the stones were washed clean by the sea. We sat on the stone and listened to the sea beating against it. The sea is clean blue and the sky is clean blue, so there are not many tourists. A big ship, like a cargo ship, appeared in Shanghai and headed for us. We shouted and said hello to the big ship, and the people on board must not hear us. As we got closer, the ship turned and we gave up angrily. Just then, a crab as big as a copper coin crawled in front of us. I hurried to catch it, and it quickly got into a crack in the stone. We searched in other crevices and found several crabs, the smallest of which was only the size of a fingernail. I caught one and put it in a bottle, intending to take it back for adoption, but unfortunately I died on my way back to Suzhou.
The last stop in sightseeing bus is the statue of Cai Bogong. It is said that about 200 years ago, a rich man named Chen Caifu boarded Miaozihu Island in the East Pole because his fishing boat was in distress, becoming the first person in the East Pole to land on the island. After he lived on the island, he ran to the mountain to light a torch every foggy night. When the fishermen on board see it, they will come to Miao Zi Lake to take shelter from the wind. At that time, everyone thought it was a bodhisattva The statue of Cai Bogong was built on the arson hill, and now it has become a landmark building in Dongji Island.
There are only homestays for accommodation on the island. We stayed in a homestay called Fiona Fang Blue Holiday Hotel, which is a well-decorated house with Mediterranean style, blue color, yellow and white tones, and children like it very much. The houses on the island are all built on the mountain, so it's a long walk from the expressway to the hotel, which we didn't expect before. After walking several times, we gradually got used to this living environment. During the day, I discussed with my wife how the electricity on the island came from and whether it should be pulled from the mainland. Later, we saw a power plant on the island, which solved our doubts. During the rest after dinner, the power went out. About one third of the islands, including our hotel, are isolated from the outside world. We began to worry about how to get through the night. Although the island is several degrees lower than the inland, it is still very hot. Fortunately, engineers quickly restored the power supply. I plan to watch the sunrise the next day and go to bed early, but the hotel has poor sound insulation. Several players in the hall didn't finish until after ten o'clock, and I didn't fall asleep until after ten o'clock.
On the morning of 23rd, we planned to see the sunrise. I checked the Internet the night before and found that the sunrise time in Dongji Town was 5:2 1, so I booked an alarm clock at 4:30. We chose to watch the sunrise at the statue of Cai Bogong, which takes about 20 minutes to walk. After the alarm clock rang, we all got up quickly, including Xiaoshi, which is unimaginable at ordinary times, probably because we are all looking forward to and excited about the upcoming sunrise at sea. It's still gray outside, there's no wind, it's quiet and it's not too hot. We walked all the way, and it was getting brighter and brighter. When we watched the sunrise, we found that a dozen people had arrived early and were waiting for the sunrise. At this time, it was dawn, and the wide sea surface on the east side of Miaozihu Island was calm, as if it had not woken up. There are three or five local fishing boats operating at sea. Looking from a distance, a large dark cloud appeared on the sea above the junction of the sea and the sky. Unfortunately. We sat on the stone, waiting and talking. After 5:2 1, the sun was not seen. Later, orange light began to appear behind the clouds, and the sun was above sea level. More and more sunshine has gilded the dark clouds. Under the cover of clouds, sunlight is divided into many beams and comes out from behind the clouds. There are more and more beams of light until the sun's face emerges from behind the cloud, like a child who sleeps late, and the cloud is his quilt. Everyone began to cheer. Sunrise is normal, but when I waited for him seriously, I was a little happier.
There are three inhabited islands in Dongji Island, and the other two islands are not to be visited, namely Dongfushan and Qingbang. Dongfushan covers an area of only 2.95 square kilometers and has a permanent population of about 50 people, although it is not as developed as Miaozihu Island. Xu Fu led 3,000 boys and girls to the East China Sea to seek the elixir of life for Qin Shihuang, ending in Dongfushan. Green gang is more primitive, known as "Potala Palace on the Sea". Houses are built on the mountain, and the houses that are stacked on top of each other look like the Potala Palace. Green gang is also the site of the lisbon maru incident. On June 2, 1942, 18 16 allied prisoners of war and a large number of precious materials, the Japanese lisbon maru set sail from Manila, the Philippine capital, to Tokyo Bay, Japan, and was killed and sank when passing through the waters near Qingbang Island. Fishermen in Qingbang and nearby islands shook their sampans and rescued 384 allied prisoners of war. Because of the limited time, the two islands that I have never been to are reserved for future visits.
5 Postscript
About food, it is a little more expensive than inland, but as a scenic spot, it is normal.
There was also an unpleasant episode in the journey. When parking in shenjiamen, the car door was scratched. There are always some small regrets in a beautiful journey, and so is life. This is real life.
