The volcanic island located in the southern part of Zhangzhou is about a 1-hour drive from Xiamen. It is the only coastal volcanic island heritage site in the country, a national AAAA-level tourist attraction, and one of the top ten tourism brands in Fujian. With clean beaches and clear seawater, you can capture amazing scenes when the weather is good. Due to low development, there are no vendors selling swimwear, sandals, or snacks on the beach; everything is pure and natural.
Cape Zhēnhǎi
Hope to enjoy the romantic sea view and feel the mood of spring blossoms? Don't miss Zhenhai Cape near Xiamen. Zhenhai Cape is an protruding part of the Zhenhaiwei coastline, where there are two very popular lighthouses, old and new, both in use. It is also the boundary between the Yellow Sea and the South China Sea. At Zhenhai Cape, there is a 300-degree sea view in front of you, a colorful carpet of flowers under your feet, and a red and white lighthouse in the distance... It's fresh and poetic, as if you were in a movie. Due to the inconvenient transportation, it is recommended to drive there, and the scenery along the way will surely delight you.
Moonlight Beach is located in Houcai Village, Qianting Town, Zhangpu. It was named after its beautiful beach and the breathtaking views that emerge under the moonlight. The beach here is pure white and delicate, and can reflect moonlight overnight. When night falls, you can camp on the flat beach, look up at the starry sky, set up tents on the beach, and witness the sunrise and sunset.
On Dongshan Island, which is a 2-hour drive from Volcano Island, there are equally breathtaking scenery. Both the bays and the beaches are great for photography. Even during the windier winter season, you can capture a different feeling. The Fishbone Sand is located not far from the coast and can be contacted in advance with the boat owner. Normally, this sandbar is submerged in the sea and only emerges at low tide every day.
