If the seasick partner remembers to prepare motion sickness medicine in advance.
Second, the itinerary
Day 1 Take a boat → Yucheng → Nanshawan → Dinner.
Due to the tight time, we took a boat from Xiangzhou Wharf to Dong 'ao Island at 14:40 in the afternoon and arrived at Dong 'ao Island in about an hour. After arriving at the island, the first thing to do is to visit Yancheng, which was built in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. At that time, the residents of the island set up a simple beacon tower to resist foreign invasion. After visiting Yancheng, go to Nanshawan, where the water is clear and the sand is soft, and it is called "Diamond Beach". At night, it is pleasant to turn over rocks to catch crabs and fish, play in the water and blow the sea breeze. For dinner, you can go to the dock to buy seafood for further processing, or rent a barbecue grill to barbecue yourself.
Day2 carrying a mountain axe → buying letters → returning goods.
"hammer hill climbs the mountain and Honeymoon Pavilion watches the sea". Climb the stairs along the steps of 1008. hammer hill climbs the mountain and stands in Honeymoon Pavilion to watch the sea. The charming seascape of Dong 'ao Island is panoramic, and Dangzi Bridge in Macau is faintly visible in the distance. If the weather is fine, it is also beautiful to watch the sunrise on Dong 'ao Island in the Honeymoon Pavilion overlooking the sea. After that, you can stroll around the pier and buy some handwritten letters to send to your relatives and friends. Then you can take a boat back to Xiangzhou Wharf, and the trip to Dong 'ao Island will end perfectly.
Travel guide to Dong 'ao Island (graphic); Dong 'ao Island, located in the southeast of Xiangzhou District, Zhuhai City, is a classic island in Zhuhai, the city of 100 islands. Dong 'ao Bay on the east side of the island cuts into the middle at about 1500m, forming a large concave part, hence the name Dong 'ao Island.
When we visit this island, we usually go to the highest place. "All the other mountains look small under the sky." . Shicheng, located on the ridge of Aokou, Dong 'ao Island, is the best choice. Standing on the wall, looking at the endless sea and enjoying the feeling of the wind by the sea, girls can wear a long white dress and a wide-brimmed white hat, which will definitely produce the same effect as postcards.
In addition to the urban area, you can also go to the honeymoon pavilion to overlook it. There is a huge "love at first sight" bell hanging in the center of the top floor. The bell is long and echoes in the blue sky and blue sea. I fell in love at Honeymoon Pavilion and fell in love with the passenger ship at first sight.
In Dong 'ao Island, the most attractive thing is the beach. Among the three beaches, Nanshawan, Dazhu Bay and Zhu Xiao Bay, Nanshawan is the best and enjoys the reputation of "Diamond Beach". This is a rare beach in downtown Zhuhai or nearby islands. The sand is white and delicate, the sea is crystal clear, the beach is gentle and wide, and the waves are many but not big. It is a good place to surf and take a bath.
Seeing the perfect scene, it's time to start a taste feast. When you come to the island city, you must try a seafood dinner! Dong 'ao Island is rich in seafood, with more than 200 species of light fish and more than 70 common species. Among them, the military cap, the dog claw snail and the stone nine palaces are called "the three treasures of East Australia" and taste delicious.
The ship arrived at Nan 'ao Island at Xiangzhou Port Wharf and Hengqin Wharf in Zhuhai. Xiangzhou Port generally goes to Dongao Wharf, and Hengqin generally goes to Nanshawan Wharf. Xiangzhou Port has more tourists by boat. Dong 'ao Island has relatively complete facilities, including Xianquan Villa and Qiu Zi Spring Villa, and Gree Dong 'ao Island Hotel. If the hotel can't book a room, you can consider the fisherman's cabin in Dong 'ao Village.
While playing, everyone should pay attention to the fact that seafood is good, but don't be greedy! Eating too much is a heavy burden on the stomach and affects travel!

Dong 'ao Bay, the cruise ship sailed into "Dong 'ao Bay" from Mangmang Sea and docked at the harbor.

Dong 'ao Island Food Recommendation:
Dog claw snail
Dog claw snail, belonging to marine shellfish, is named because it looks like a dog's claw. The dog claw snail is a kind of shellfish that grows in the crevices of the sea. Generally, many dog-claw snails grow in groups, cling to the cracks in stones, remain motionless for many years, and grow by eating microorganisms in water. The dog claw snail is the fattest in winter. A single dog claw snail is not much thicker than the thumb, about two or three inches long. It is precisely because the dog claw snail is so delicious that people only picked it before and did not pay attention to protection. There are fewer and fewer dog claw snails on the island now. In order to protect rare shellfish, the collection of dog claw snails has been banned in Wanshan District.
General's cap
A kind of marine shellfish, named for its hard shell resembling the hat of a court general in Qing Dynasty. The military cap, like most other shellfish, grows on the edge of the stone, and its meat moves tightly against the stone. There is no hard cover at the bottom, so the meat in the cap shell is turned over and exposed. When there is no external interference, the cap shell of the military cap will shake freely on the meat, probably to publicize the dynamics of life. Once something touches its cap shell, it immediately shrinks and sticks to the stone, which is generally difficult to pull out and can only be reluctantly removed with the help of sharp tools such as thin steel sheets. Its endoplasmic color is yellow-green, its meat is crisp and elastic, and its taste is as tough as abalone, so it is also called "fake abalone", which is delicious and nutritious.
sea urchin
Sea urchin is an economic marine organism with high edible value and medicinal value. Its gonads are extremely delicious, unique and nutritious, and the methionine content in protein is very high, which is very popular in many coastal countries or regions such as Japan, China, Malay Peninsula, European Mediterranean coast and South America. Especially in Japan, the gonads of sea urchins and their processed products are regarded as one of the most expensive and delicious high-grade seafood! The market price is very high, and the consumption is also quite large.
Mantis shrimp
This is a kind of shrimp that mainly lives in shallow waters. They generally grow on the surface of sediments in the sea area and are produced in1October. They are shaped like crayfish. Each big one weighs about 342, translucent in color and flesh-colored. The surface of shrimp shell is more knotty than other shrimps, with a small head and a thin fan-shaped tail. The two rows of soft tissues in its abdomen are quite distinctive, such as centipede feet, which are dense and fluffy, and their main functions are paddling and swimming. Because the soft leaf tissue in the abdomen stores a lot of water and flows when it is lifted, it is also commonly known as Setaria viridis.
Accommodation recommendation:
The facilities on Dong 'ao Island are relatively complete. Hotels include Xianquan Villa and Qiu Zi Spring Villa, Gree Dongao Island Hotel, Dongao Bay Green Home, Yacht Club, etc. The price is 208-438 yuan/day, including round-trip air tickets.
