[2025 Zhangpu Attraction] Travel Guide for Volcanic Island (Updated Sep)

🌷I went to a volcanic island for this B&B. 🏝️ 🌷The check-in was very pleasant. The sister at the front desk was very enthusiastic and prepared welcome fruits and shared travel and food guides. 🌸 🌷The room is almost the same as the picture, very suitable for taking photos and checking in. I like a lot of details too. 🌴 🌷Drove around the island in the afternoon and had satay noodles and four-fruit soup, both were delicious! I just entered randomly, without searching specifically. 🌟 🌷We participated in the sea-hunting activity in the evening. Although the harvest was average, it was our first time after all. 👍When we returned to the homestay kitchen, they helped us process it into crab porridge, which tasted really fresh and sweet. 🥹 🌷Go out to the beach and the sea This place has the quaint ecological appearance of a southern Fujian fishing village. There is no bustling crowd or noise. It seems that even the wind is protecting this pure land❣️ 🌷There is a quiet white house hidden on the island. The simple and pure white Greek style is decorated with exquisite green plants. 🌴 The background of blue sky and white clouds makes people feel particularly comfortable and refreshing. The lake blue swimming pool and the castle-like white house The holiday feeling is full with the backdrop of palm trees! 💐Travel to Santorini on the sea in one second! ! 👗 🌷Feeling The road to the B&B is rather rugged and desolate. 🍵Later, I saw a white house by the sea from a distance and knew it was it! 🌟 🌷It was just sunset, and when we saw this beautiful scenery, we were amazed that everything was worth it! Marvel at nomi’s design and 👒 marvel at the mysterious vastness of the ocean! nomi is like a lonely white house standing by the sea, quietly watching the sunrise and sunset, the ebb and flow of the tide. 🚗 🌷Sunrise is more beautiful and photogenic than sunset. It is strongly recommended to get up early to watch the sunrise🌄 🌷Watching the sun rise and the sea water dyed golden, 🌋I also felt calm and relaxed in my heart. This is the meaning of vacation🥰

Opening remarks: Friends, if your travel pursuit is "wanting it all"—beautiful scenery, delicious food, and fewer crowds—then Zhangzhou is your dream "Zhang"! This Minnan small city hides so many "wow" surprises. Are you ready to be hit by a wave of "Zhang" humor? 🌋 Volcano Island: The "hot-tempered big brother" of geology Who says Fujian has no volcanoes? Zhangzhou's Volcano Island is the "hot-tempered big brother" of geology, but don’t worry, it has been calm for 24 million years. Now, all that’s left are: - The "Terracotta Warriors of the Sea" made of black basalt, like an artwork after the Earth sneezed - The popular check-in spot Rainbow Mountain, recommended to wear clothes brighter than the rainbow, or the camera will automatically ignore you - The seaside swing, swinging out to a sea and sky view, swinging back to likes on your social feed Foodie tip: There aren’t many restaurants on the island, so bring your own snacks. After all, looking at volcanic relics shouldn’t really make you "blow your top." 🏮 Zhangzhou Ancient City: The "emoji hub" of Minnan culture Walking into the ancient city is like opening a living Minnan dialect dictionary: - Under the arcade corridors, no need for an umbrella when it rains, no need for sunscreen when sunny, a kind of ancient "shared canopy" - The lintels of red brick old houses all say "xx lineage," as if saying "My family has stories" - The Jialan Temple is so small you wonder if even gods have to squeeze in sideways Must-eat trio: 1. Afang Braised Noodles—broth so rich it sticks to your homesickness 2. Jianguo Oyster Omelette—oysters so many it’s like eating "seafood pizza" 3. Four Fruit Soup—have a bowl in summer, cooler than your ex’s heart 🌊 Dongshan Island: Fujian’s "Maldives split" Here fulfills all your island fantasies: - The colorful houses of Nanmen Bay, like God spilled a paint box, every shot is a postcard - The Fishbone Sandbar appears only at low tide, like the sea’s "limited-time story" - The Wind-moving Rock Scenic Area has a stone that "refuses to jump into the sea," it moves with the wind but has stood firm for 400 years, known as the "master of lying flat" in the stone world Fun fact: The movie "The Left Ear" was filmed here, but it’s recommended you shoot "The Right Ear" to show the difference 🌿 Yunshuiyao: The "artsy youth" of Tulou Don’t just know "four dishes and one soup," Yunshuiyao is the fresh and pure in Tulou: - Hegui Building built on a swamp but as steady as Mount Tai, a masterpiece of ancient "infrastructure mania" - Huaiyuan Building’s door knocker, touch it and it’s said you can conceive distant dreams (but not babies) - Drink tea under the ancient banyan tree and experience how sunlight filtering through leaves "lights you up" Pitfall guide: The cobblestone ancient path is beautiful, but wearing high heels will turn you into a "human pile driver" 🍍 Special bonus: Zhangzhou food secret codes - "Boss, one bowl of satay noodles with extra toppings"—local code meaning "put everything you can on it" - "Sweet zongzi please"—immediately reveals you as a northerner; Minnan people consider sweet zongzi heresy - "One glass of Pianzaihuang juice"—after drinking, you’ll have a whole new understanding of "herbal drinks" Final friendly reminder: Zhangzhou dialect sounds like arguing, but they might just be asking "Have you eaten?"; taxi drivers drive like F1 racers, but it’s not personal—they’re rushing home for braised noodles; most importantly—don’t try to eat all of Zhangzhou in one day, your stomach will revolt! Bring this guide and come to Zhangzhou to be a happy "Zhang" outsider! Guaranteed to "Zhang" your knowledge, "Zhang" your experience, and finally "Zhang" you into laughter!

Zhangzhou Volcanic Island (centered around Zhangzhou Coastal Volcano National Geopark) is located along the coast of Qianting Town, Zhangpu County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province. Its main features include two active volcanic islands—Linjin Islet and Nanding Island—along with the Xiangshan Peninsula, Qisha Bay, and other connected land areas, situated at the unique geographical intersection of the East China Sea and the South China Sea. This area is a living fossil of the Cenozoic Eurasian Plate rift zone, with its core geological relics formed around 20 million years ago during the mid-to-late Himalayan orogeny. Multiple volcanic eruptions created the rare, well-preserved coastal volcanic landforms seen today. The massive and remarkably regular basalt columnar joints make it a natural volcanic geology museum. This volcanic wonder, frozen in time for millions of years, holds value far beyond ordinary landscapes. Only with a respectful approach can one sense the planet’s hidden fiery past and immense power within the cold, angular basalt formations. **Key Natural Landscapes:** - **Linjin Islet Volcanic Relics:** The island clearly displays a conical volcanic structure formed by central eruptions, surrounded by over 16 spectacular basalt columnar joint clusters, standing vertically with sharp edges. - **Nanding Island Stone Pillars:** The island is covered with about 1.4 million giant basalt pillars, densely packed like a frozen waterfall, typically 20–50 meters tall. Their scale and regular hexagonal cross-sections hold significant scientific and aesthetic value. - **Xiangshan Volcanic Landforms:** The peninsula features well-preserved volcanic vents (e.g., the "Lotus Throne" vent), lava platforms, sea-eroded formations, and black volcanic sand beaches (Qisha Bay). The seawater, influenced by volcanic geology, remains crystal-clear and azure year-round. **Travel Tips:** 1. **Geological Exploration:** Focus on Linjin Islet’s volcanic profiles, Nanding Island’s basalt pillars, and Xiangshan’s vents and sea-eroded landforms. Bring a geological map and compass for observation. 2. **Tide Window Observation:** Access to Linjin Islet and Nanding Island requires boat trips. Check precise local tide schedules (Xiangshan Pier usually offers daily fixed departures, 20–30 min ride) to ensure safe landing and explore eruption relics exposed at low tide. 3. **Nature Photography:** Capture sweeping views of volcanic landforms interacting with the sea at dawn or dusk from Xiangshan Peninsula’s viewpoints or Linjin Islet’s high ground. Black volcanic sand beaches provide unique backdrops. 4. **Ecological Observation:** Note the special coastal vegetation communities growing on volcanic rock and their adaptive traits. **Transportation:** - **Self-Drive:** Navigate to "Zhangzhou Coastal Volcano Natural Ecological Scenic Area" (Qianting Town, Zhangpu County). ~1.5-hour drive from Zhangzhou city; ~1-hour drive from Xiamen. - **Public Transport:** 1. From Zhangzhou Bus Center, take a bus to "Qianting" or "Volcano Park" (~hourly, 1.5–2 hours), alighting at the park entrance. 2. From Xiamen’s Fanghu or Wuqian Bus Stations, take a coach to Zhangpu County, then transfer to a rural bus to Qianting/Volcano Park. **Important Notes:** 1. **Tide Safety:** Access to Linjin Islet and Nanding Island depends strictly on tides and boat schedules. Verify daily tide levels and official boat times in advance. Never wade or stay behind. 2. **Geological Protection:** Volcanic relics are fragile. Do not strike or climb basalt pillars, remove specimens, or approach too closely. 3. **Preparation:** Bring high-SPF sunscreen, windproof jackets, anti-slip hiking shoes, and ample water—shade is scarce. 4. **Eco-Rules:** Carry out all trash to preserve the pristine environment. 5. **Confirmation:** Boat schedules and park access are weather-sensitive. Verify via official park channels or Zhangpu County Tourism Bureau before departure.

🎡Zhangzhou Volcanic Island | Monument Valley 👍The first trip of 2025. ⛳️I traveled a long way to finally see the Monument Valley I had been longing for. 🎊"The geometry that constructs the world abstracts everything into irreversible natural laws. All things are immutable, but the gods can create at will. Reality is immutable, but illusions can be created at will." 🎡Monument Valley The real-life Monument Valley is located on Zhangzhou Volcanic Island. It features spectacular volcanic landforms, clear waters, and fine sandy beaches. This year, there was only one day off for New Year's Day, so there were hardly any tourists here.
