China's most beautiful island—you have to visit it at least once in your lifetime

Explore Wenzhou's hidden island|3-day 2-night escape guide to Pingyang Nanji Islands 🏖️

This off-the-beaten-path island is truly stunning! It's 100 times more fun than expected, with blue seas and skies that rival Southeast Asia. The best part is fewer people and beautiful scenery—every snap looks like an Instagram masterpiece~

🚢 Transportation tips:
1. Take the high-speed train to Pingyang Station, then taxi to Aojiang Port Passenger Terminal (about 15 minutes)
2. Take a boat to Nanji Island (speedboat 1.5 hours / regular boat 2.5 hours)
✨ It’s recommended to buy tickets 3 days in advance on the "Nanji Passenger" WeChat official account, and don’t forget to bring seasickness medicine!

🏝️ Must-visit spots:
📍 Sanpanwei
An Instagram-worthy beautiful grassy cliff, with a natural filter effect at sunrise. Popular photo spot, expect queues (suggest arriving before 5 AM to secure a spot)

📍 Dasha’ao
The best shell beach on the island, with crystal-clear water. You can rent sun umbrellas and enjoy the water.

📍 Zheng Chenggong Statue
The highest vantage point overlooking the whole island, especially romantic at sunset.

🏨 Accommodation recommendations:
✔️ Lost·Houlong Cave Hotel (famous cliff cave rooms, book at least 1 month in advance)
✔️ Nanji Island Homestays (cost-effective, some rooms have sea views)

📸 Photo tips:
1. Be sure to bring a white dress/ straw hat, perfect with the blue sky and sea
2. The best shooting times are half an hour before and after sunrise and sunset
3. Drone shots are amazing (advance registration required)

🍴 Food suggestions:
Seafood stalls on the island are all fresh, highly recommend trying the local spicy whelks and mussels! Buying at the market and having the restaurant cook it is more cost-effective~
