Located in the southern part of Zhangzhou, the volcanic island is about an hour's drive from Xiamen. It is the only coastal volcanic island site in the country, a national AAAA-level tourist attraction, and one of the top ten tourism brands in Fujian. With clean beaches, clear seawater, and great weather, you can take stunning photos at will. Due to its low level of development, there are no vendors selling swimsuits, slippers, or snacks on the beach; everything is purely natural.
Zhenhai Cape
If you hope to enjoy a romantic sea view and feel the warmth of spring, you must not miss Zhenhai Cape around Xiamen. Zhenhai Cape is a prominent part of the coast extending from Zhenhai Wei. There are two very popular lighthouses here, one old and one new, both in use. This is also the dividing line between the Yellow Sea and the South China Sea. At Zhenhai Cape, you will see a 300-degree sea view, a flower-filled meadow underfoot, and red and white lighthouses in the distance... Fresh and poetic, it feels like being in a movie. Due to inconvenient transportation, it is recommended to drive there yourself. The scenery along the way will definitely make you feel relaxed and happy.
Moonlight Beach is located in Houcai Village, Qianting Town, Zhangpu. The origin of Moonlight Beach is named after its beautiful beach and the stunning scenery that appears under the moonlight. The beach is known for its white and delicate sand that can reflect moonlight overnight. When night falls, you can camp on the flat beach, gaze at the starry sky, set up tents on the beach, and watch the sunrise and sunset.
On Dongshan Island, which is a 2-hour drive from Volcano Island, there are similarly dreamy landscapes. Whether it's the bay or the beach, it's great for photography. Even during the windier winter season, you can capture a different feeling. Fishbone Sandbar is located on the nearby coast, and you can contact the boat owner in advance. Usually, this sandbar is submerged in the sea and only emerges during low tide each day.
