Hey kids, discover Zhejiang's hidden island! Taizhou's Dachen Island boasts turquoise waters, vibrant fishing villages, and vibrant sunsets. Experience the island's tranquility for just over 500 yuan per person. Here's a quick guide!
🚢Transportation Guide
- Getting to the Island: From Taizhou's Jiaojiang Pier No. 7, take the "Qingda" or "Jili" trains. The journey takes 1.5 hours, and the price is 100 yuan per person one way. Buy tickets one day in advance; get them during peak season.
- On the Island: Renting an electric scooter is super convenient, costing 60 yuan per day. There's a rental counter right at the pier—be sure to bargain. You can also take a sightseeing bus for 20 yuan per trip, perfect for those who prefer a more relaxed lifestyle.
🏠 Accommodation Recommendations (Best Value)
- Leaving Dachen Island: Stay at a fisherman's guesthouse near Meihua Bay, priced between 80 and 120 yuan per night. Open the window to the ocean, and be woken by the waves in the morning. The owner even makes seafood noodles for breakfast. - Shang Dachen Island: For a quiet getaway, choose the "Hongsao B&B." The hostess picks her own oranges, and rooms with courtyards are 100 yuan per person.
🦞Must-Try Seafood (50 yuan per person, eat until you're full)
- Meihua Bay Seafood Stall: Freshly caught and cooked! Salt and pepper mantis shrimp for 35 yuan per portion, steamed grouper for 60 yuan per piece. Ask the owner to use less salt for incredibly fresh seafood.
- Fisherman's Breakfast Shop: 5 yuan for a bowl of seafood noodles with shrimp, clams, and razor clams, topped with local chili sauce.
- Roadside Stall: 3 seaweed pancakes for 10 yuan, hot and crispy, a perfect treat after a long day of exploring.
🌅3-Day Itinerary (So relaxing you won't want to leave)
- Day 1: Explore Lower Dachen Island. In the morning, we arrived at the island, rented electric bikes, and headed to Jiawu Rock to admire the cliffside seascape. The crashing waves against the reefs was breathtaking. At noon, we enjoyed seafood at a fishing village. In the afternoon, we visited the Reclamation Monument and took photos of the island from above. In the evening, we watched the sunset at Meihua Bay, where the fishing boats returning to the harbor were breathtakingly beautiful.
- Day 2: Explore Dachen Island. Take the early morning boat (20 yuan/person) to Upper Dachen Island. Check out the Jilongtou Lighthouse (white lighthouse and blue sea, perfect for Instagram) and Langtongmen (a natural sea cave with a rainbow at high tide). Enjoy a fisherman's feast at noon. In the afternoon, we returned to Lower Dachen Island. In the evening, we strolled along the beach and listened to the waves.
- Day 3: Enjoy a leisurely life in the fishing village. Sleep in, stroll through the alleys of the old fishing village. The stone houses are covered with bougainvillea, and any photo you take would be a wallpaper. Buy local specialties like shredded squid and dried shrimp; 50 yuan can buy a large bag. Return by boat at noon.
💡 Money-Saving Tips
- Don't buy seafood at the dock; haggle at the fishing village market, where prices are 30% lower than at the food stalls.
- Bring your own toiletries, as most island B&Bs don't provide disposable items.
- Wear sunscreen! The combination of sea breeze and UV rays can easily lead to a tan. April-May/September-October are best, avoiding typhoon season and the scorching summer heat.
Dachen Island offers a tranquil escape from the commercial bustle, just waves, fishing boats, and a leisurely pace. For just over 500 yuan per person, you can escape the city. So, grab some friends and go!
