Real-life Zelda! The breathtaking cliff grasslands of Siyu Islands, open only during seagull season

🌟【2025 Latest】Complete Guide to Siyu Islands! Real-life Zelda + Seagull Season, Breathtakingly Beautiful!🌟 🌈 Must-read introduction: Why are the Siyu Islands trending? This hidden paradise, named by CNN as "China's most beautiful island," features lush green meadows in May🌿, flocks of seagulls from June to August🕊️, with cliffs, grasslands, and pebble beaches... Every photo looks straight out of "The Legend of Zelda"! The best part? Few tourists and untouched natural beauty! (Rumor has it that Fujian locals have been secretly visiting) 🌊 Top 4 Must-Visit Spots 1️⃣ Dongyu Island · Real-life Zelda 📍Keywords: Cliffs, grasslands, Lion Peak ✔️90° vertical cliffs drop into azure waters, with acres of green carpet overhead - drone shots are absolutely stunning! Chance encounters with white-browed goats🐑 will melt your heart! Don't miss sunrise and sunset! 2️⃣ Hongyu Island · Seagull Kingdom 📍Keywords: Bird island, red-billed gulls, red rock formations ✔️Seagull dances from June to August will have you hitting your camera's burst mode non-stop! The reefs glow fiery red, perfect for photos with white dresses! ⚠️Wear non-slip shoes for the rugged paths! 3️⃣ Nanyu Island · The Singing Pebbles 📍Keywords: 1-meter thick pebble beach, natural ASMR ✔️Walk barefoot on the pebbles and listen to the "swish-swash" white noise of waves! Legend says stacking stones for wishes is especially effective✨ (but please don't take stones away) 4️⃣ Beiyu Island · Fishing Village Charm 📍Keywords: Orange sunsets, fishing competitions, stone houses ✔️Stay at an island guesthouse, watch fishing boats return at dusk, wait for sunrise over the sea🌅, and enjoy freshly caught seafood! (Recommended: Haitang Guesthouse - clean with great views) 🚢 Transportation Guide (2025 Latest) ✅ Getting to the Islands - Ferry: Departs from Jishi Pier at 10:30 AM (100 yuan/person, 1.5h), no same-day return, must stay overnight - Speedboat: Shared boats from Sansha Pier (500 yuan/person), same-day return possible, includes aerial photography + fruit, sit at the stern if prone to seasickness! ⚠️Buy tickets on-site, contact guesthouses in advance to confirm schedules! ✅ Island Hopping Departing from Beiyu Island, 70 yuan/person, 14:00-17:00 to visit 2-3 islands (Dongyu + Bird Island are must-visits) 📝 Essential Tips 1️⃣ What to wear: White/black long dresses + straw hat👒, sports shoes are a must! Cliff paths are slippery, don't wear flip-flops! 2️⃣ What to bring: Sunscreen×3! Motion sickness pills, insect repellent, 2L water, snacks (no stores on the islands) 3️⃣ Safety: Don't venture into undeveloped areas! Be careful with drones in sea winds, and avoid rainy days! 4️⃣ Environmental protection: Take your trash with you, don't disturb seagull breeding! "The solitude of Siyu Islands is the most luxurious healing for city dwellers." There are no trendy coffee shops here, but you'll find the song of waves hitting ancient reefs; no elaborate photo setups, but the vitality of goats leaping across cliffs. Come once, surrender your heart to the mountains and sea, and be a free islander for a day! (Original guide, reproduction requires permission.
