Meizhou Island is a small fishing town off the coast of Putian, Fujian province in China. To get there, you can take a bus or taxi from Putian city to the coast (shipping wharf), where you will need to board a ferry to get to the island. The town is very laid back, and the hotels are mostly family owned hostels. There are great Chinese restaurants, and you can also find some Western take out restaurants. The beaches are really beautiful, specifically the sunsets. Meizhou island is said to be the birthplace of the goddess Mazu, and her statue can be seen at the main temple on the island. There are plenty of beautiful temples to visit, and the architecture is also quite unique. Meizhou island is a perfect place to find some peace and quiet, outside of the city. I went during Chinese Spring Festival, and there were hardly any people. It was lovely. #chinatravel #beaches #wintergetaway #view #beautifulsunsets #beautifulbeach #chillandrelax #couplestrip

Meizhou Island is actually part of Putian and is the second largest island. Due to its elongated shape from north to south, resembling the eyebrows of a beauty, it is named Meizhou. It has a population of 40,000, with an average annual temperature of 21°C, making it especially suitable for tourism and vacations. The island's coastline stretches over 30 kilometers, including more than 20 kilometers of beaches and 5 kilometers of marine erosion rocks, creating a natural spectacle where mountains are surrounded by water, the sea extends beyond the mountains, and the mountains and sea are connected, blending into the horizon. Coupled with blue skies, white clouds, golden sands, and green forests and temples, it forms a romantic and picturesque coastal scenery and is a national 5A scenic spot. Meizhou Island is the divine birthplace of , hence it is known as the 'Penglai of the South'. Parks, temples, and film and television bases themed around Mazu are scattered throughout the island. There is also the ancestral temple of Mazu, which nearly 300 million Mazu devotees revere. During the annual lunar calendar dates of March 23rd, Mazu's birthday, and the 9th day of the 9th lunar month, Mazu's ascension, the pilgrimage tourism is unprecedented, earning it the reputation of the 'Mecca of the East'. Travel advice: From the downtown area of Putian, you can take a taxi or a bus to Wenjia Wharf. From Wenjia Wharf, take the ferry to Meizhou Island, with departures every half hour (the last return trip at night can be as late as 9 pm, but it is recommended not to be later than 5:30 pm, otherwise many buses will have stopped running, unless you take a taxi or have a private car). After leaving the wharf, walk more than 500 meters to reach the ancestral temple of Mazu (you can choose to visit from near to far, that is, first visit the ancestral temple of Mazu, then explore further; or you can visit from far to near, first take the bus to the southernmost Goose Tail Marine Erosion Geological Park, then head back). Regardless of where you start, it is recommended to rent an electric scooter. The public ones are for single riders. If you are traveling as a couple, you can contact locals to rent a double scooter, which costs 60 yuan plus a 100 yuan deposit. Note: You must park at the designated place to get your deposit back. If you stay at a B&B on Meizhou Island, they will have electric scooters for rent for just 50 yuan. Actually, there is no need to ride around the island, because the distance between attractions is long from north to south and short from east to west, so you can switch back and forth in a zigzag pattern. Because winter is the off-season, there is basically very little food for sale in the scenic area, only the town near the ancestral temple of Mazu will have food. If you are on a day trip and time is tight, it is recommended to bring your own dry food. If you are staying on the island for a two-day trip, you can look for delicious food in the town.

🏝️ It boasts a super unique seaside plank road and rare sea erosion landscapes, which are simply nature's masterpieces! 🌅 The island has also been named one of the most beautiful islands by 'National Geographic' and is known as the 'Penglai of the South'. It's definitely worth the trip! 👏 🌊 Walking here, the air is filled with a sense of romance and freedom, as if it can wash away all worries. 🍃 If one day you don't feel like going to work, you must come here to experience it! 😉 🚗 Transportation is also very convenient. You can get here directly by boat from Wenjia Wharf. The ticket is 125 yuan including a round trip, and it's recommended to rent a small electric scooter on the island to go wherever you want, super comfortable! 🛵 🗺️ I've also planned the island tour route for you: 🔹Day1: Start by listening to the Meiyu Tidal Sounds, then check in at Rainbow Road, visit the Mazu Ancestral Temple to experience the unique Mazu culture. Finally, relax at Lianchi Ao Beach, where the sand is super clean and fine, making it an ideal seaside vacation spot! 🏖️ 🔹Day2: On the second day, go to Goose Tail Divine Rock to see the unique sea erosion landscapes, don't miss the Feiji Cave and Long Cave for tide listening, and take amazing photos! Then visit the Mazu Film and Television City, which was the filming location for the TV series 'Mazu' starring Liu Tao.

||Here are a few seasides I've visited and recommend. I've compiled a list of nine places to watch the sea, with a rating for each. All of these spots are around Xiamen and the photos are all unedited from the original camera, so you can trust their authenticity! 1️⃣ Dongshan Island🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Travel Time: 1-2 days The movie 'The Left Ear' was filmed here. The water is incredibly clear, and you can see the blue sky, white clouds, and the sea along the coastline, while the interior offers a simple and comfortable life in a fishing village. You must stay overnight and watch the sunrise the next day; it will not disappoint. 2️⃣ Emerald Bay🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Travel Time: 1-2 hours The water in Emerald Bay is clear and the sand is fine. It's definitely worth a visit. 3️⃣ Guanyin Mountain🌟🌟🌟🌟 Travel Time: 2-4 hours The water at Guanyin Mountain is not very clear. When I visited, the water was quite murky despite the good weather. It's still very comfortable and pleasant to set up a parasol on the beach, lie down, and enjoy the sea breeze and the sound of the waves. 4️⃣ Huangcuo Beach🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Travel Time: 1-2 days Huangcuo Beach is beautiful at any time of day, with sunrise in the morning, sea views during the day, and sunset in the evening. The water quality is excellent, and the facilities are well-maintained. It's a must-visit spot in Xiamen! 5️⃣ Pingtan Island🌟🌟🌟🌟 Travel Time: 1-2 days Pingtan Island is famous for its windmill sea. Unfortunately, the weather was bad when I visited, and Pingtan Island was shrouded in fog. Interested friends can check out photos posted by other users on my Pingtan Island post. It's truly beautiful, and I will definitely revisit. 6️⃣ Meizhou Island🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Travel Time: 1-2 days Meizhou Island is a five-star scenic area with beautiful scenery and well-developed infrastructure. It's very comfortable to visit, and you can not only enjoy the sea but also experience the culture of Mazu. 7️⃣ Gulangyu Island🌟🌟🌟🌟 Travel Time: 3-5 hours When visiting Gulangyu Island, it's best to go during the off-season when there are fewer people. Stroll along the coastline and climb up to Sunlight Rock to overlook the panoramic view. Every street and ancient building here is worth taking the time to appreciate. The only downside is that the water is not very clean, with trash floating near the shore, and it's not very attractive if the weather is bad. 8️⃣ Ten-mile Long Dam🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Travel Time: 2-4 hours I've been to Xiamen many times, but this was my first visit to the Ten-mile Long Dam. I can only say, why did I discover this treasure so late! The overpass crossing the sea, the sunset over the sea, the orange sea, the sunset cars, the lawn music, all make this place surrounded by romance. (There's a post dedicated to the Ten-mile Long Dam sunset on my homepage.) 9️⃣ Haicang Bay Park🌟🌟🌟🌟 Travel Time: 1-2 hours The water here is particularly blue, and the environment is very clean. It's great for a walk. ‼️When going to the seaside, the weather is definitely the most important factor. The scenery is completely different on sunny days compared to cloudy ones, so be sure to check the weather before you set out!
