The First Ray of Sunshine in Mainland China

Dongji Pavilion, located at the easternmost tip of the Zhoushan Archipelago in Zhejiang, is where the first ray of sunshine kisses the mainland of China. 【An Epic of Stars and the Sea】 When the Big Dipper dips below the horizon, the eaves of Dongji Pavilion seem to lift the curtain on the sunrise. Wild chrysanthemums by the stone steps glisten with lingering sea mist, and shells brought by last year's typhoon rest on the green tiles. Time here is like amber sculpted by the waves—the sound of fishermen mending their nets lags a beat behind the church clock. 【A Living Museum of Lighthouse Civilization】 • The three-story observation deck houses the "Flamingo Eye," a British-style lantern from 1872, which emits rose-colored light waves to guide returning fishing boats at dusk. • Ming Dynasty coastal defense steles intertwine with AR shipwreck projections on the terrace. A touch of your fingertips can awaken the silk remnants of a Persian merchant ship from 1835. • Custom Sunrise Sachets: Morning dew collected from the pavilion roof is blended with goji berries and mugwort, capturing the sweet and briny essence of dawn better than any seafood. 【Local Experience Checklist】 ▷ Send a slow-mail postcard from the maple wood mailbox at coordinates 30°24'N/122°25'E (delivered via postal drones). ▷ Learn to embroider wave patterns using mackerel bones with a heritage artisan of the "sun-dried fish" tradition. ▷ On rainy days, enjoy the holographic marine life theater in the attic, where vibrating little whales are hidden under the cushions.
