The tearful lessons from the trip to the small ice island in southern Fujian, listen before you go
The trip to the small ice island in southern Fujian was a disaster, it was a Waterloo in my travel photography career. Everything was wrong when I went to Nanding Island. I'm sharing this to help those who want to go to the island avoid the same mistakes. These are all my painful experiences.
I will also go back to Nanding Island
Zhangzhou Zhangpu Nanding Island
: The smallest boat costs 600 and can seat five people, the big boat costs between 100-150 per person, you can form a team to go.
Main: Take the boat from Zhengmei Village in Zhangzhou Zhangpu, it takes about an hour and a half from Zhengmei Village to Zhangzhou/Xiamen, and the boat ride is 50 minutes one way.
A Lessons from landing on the island
1: The waves are very big, if you are not confident, you can take motion sickness medicine first, this time I didn't take the medicine and was dizzy when I got up, it was really uncomfortable after landing.
2: You need to watch the tide, you can only see a lot of basalt when the tide is at its lowest, the tide is very important!
3: Check the weather in advance, cloudy days are recommended, the island is more suitable for cloudy days, sunny days always feel a bit strange, this time I went to the island under the midday sun, it was really hard to take pictures.
4: The boatman only stays on the island for up to three hours, you must watch the time, there is only a lighthouse and grass on the top, it is recommended to walk quickly and then head straight to the left coastline facing the island, that's where the large basalt is, this time I didn't watch the time and spent too much time in other places, so by the time I went to the left basalt, it was time to get on the boat, I could only take a quick look and go back with the main group, it was really a disaster.
5: Because this is not yet a mature scenic area, you must find a reliable boatman, this time I contacted the boatman through Yuguang Homestay, and formed a team with my teammates, the boatman is very reliable and professional, the boat is very stable.
6: Because it's all quite high, you must pay attention to safety, try not to do dangerous actions for a photo, it's not worth it.
7: You can't go up every day, there are some special situations where the waves and wind are too big to land on the island, so be prepared, it is recommended to go to Waiyu for a round, it's also fun, the specific strategy is on my homepage.

I feel that this is an artist contracted attraction, he knows how to create beauty. Tickets are a bit expensive to 78 and claim to be limited to 500 people per day. But considering that it takes one or two hundred to watch a painting exhibition in a big city, after all, the outdoor air is good, and the price/performance ratio is okay. If there is no ticket, it will probably really burst. I have not been to Iceland, and the white rock and ice blue lake feel good. I came in before 4 o'clock, sitting on the camping chair by the lake and listening to music to rest. It is closed at 18 o'clock here.
Jinhua "Little Iceland" is located in Jiulong Village, Shuanglong Scenic Area, about 17 kilometers from the city, half an hour by car. Since "Little Iceland", "Little Iceland" was originally a quarry, and it has been abandoned after parking. In the past few years, the crew came to make movies, built a big ship, and built two rows of European and American-style cabins. After the crew left, they left a big ship and a wooden house. Because its background is a deep black mine rock wall, there are several large clear bottoming ponds in the mining area, and the overall effect of taking pictures is very European and American style. Therefore, it is known as "Little Iceland" by everyone. Later, with more advertisements and wedding photos taken here, it became an online red punching point. [View] The effect of taking pictures of large boats and wooden houses in the morning or near the evening will be more European and American style. The snow scene of "Little Iceland" is very beautiful. [Fun] Because it is in the mountains, the air is fresh, the pond water is clear, and the water is not charming. [Cost-effective] is currently free, and it is still under planning. Note: Don't go near the rock wall of the mine when playing, to prevent the ore from falling and hurting people.
Yesterday afternoon, Jinhua began to snow, and it was intermittently one night. This morning, I went up the mountain to small Iceland to see the scenery of small Iceland under ice and snow. Under the snow cover, the rock wall of the mine is white and black, and it looks more wilderness and desolate, and the effect is more European and American style. It is rare to see snow in the south, and this year is special. It is rainy and snowy weather before and after the Spring Festival, but it is the first time I have seen it in Little Iceland. It is a worthwhile trip. Little Iceland was originally a mine, stopped mining for many years, a crew came here to shoot a film in the past few years, in order to shoot a pirate ship and two rows of European and American-style cabins. The group drama went away, and the boat and wooden house were retained. Later, the competition became a net red punching point for advertising and wedding photos, and the flow of coming to play was endless. Little Iceland is a free attraction. The scenic spot is still under development. When playing, you must not be too close to the mountain, so as not to hurt people by the pumice on the mountain. Pay attention to safety.
On the weekend, I led the crew to the small Iceland of Shuanglong Scenic Area to shoot the scene and stayed at the Huajia B&B. The weather was a bit cold in the morning and only 2 or 3 degrees. The three small actors were very dedicated and the shooting was very smooth. Little Iceland is a good outdoor shooting attraction, with European and American styles, great. Special thanks to the owner of Yuhua B&B for his thoughtful and warm service.
Little Iceland is in Jiulong Village, Shuanglongdong Scenic Area, an abandoned mining area. The hull left by filming in previous years has become a tourist photo, wedding photography, costume model advertising photo net red punching point, very exotic feeling. You can stay at the Suihua B&B in Shuanglongdong Scenic Area, and take sunrise and sunset in small Iceland in the morning or evening.
