Miaozihu Island stands as the principal island among the local islands. It boasts relatively well-developed tourism infrastructure and is accessible by boat, making it a necessary stop for tourists visiting the area.
For those seeking a more authentic island experience, a transfer to Dongfushan Island is recommended, with a visit to Miaozihu Island on the return trip.
Moreover, the island served as the primary filming location for the movie ‘The Continent’ directed by Han Han. With the movie’s popularity, new attractions related to the film have emerged, such as the statue of Cai Bogong, ‘Golden Hair Back’, and the filming site of ‘The Continent’. Those interested can explore these sites.
The island is open all year round from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Essential tips include:
1. Ferry tickets from Shenjiamen to the island are sold on a real-name basis, and visitors must show their ID when purchasing tickets and boarding.
2. Due to the unpredictable maritime weather, ferries to and from the island may be subject to cancellations or delays; it is crucial to check the weather forecast before departure.
3. The journey to and from Miaozihu Island takes a considerable amount of time, so it is advisable to prepare some motion sickness medication. It is recommended to purchase tickets for the lower deck, which is more stable, and also allows for viewing the scenery from the deck.
4. The island has many aggressive mosquitoes, and the ultraviolet radiation is strong. There is a significant temperature difference between day and night, so take precautions against mosquitoes.
5. Since all supplies on the island are transported from the mainland, meals are somewhat more expensive, with vegetarian dishes priced around 20 yuan each, which is not an overcharge.
