Timeline

  1. 09:00

    Dongtou Islands

    Arrive at the islands and take a taxi to your first scenic spot. The islands are spread out, and a taxi is the easiest way to navigate between the various paid attractions without getting hassled by touts near the bus station.

  2. 10:00

    Dongtou Islands

    Stop for a light lunch or snack at a local eatery near your first viewing spot. Since there are no specific food shops listed in the immediate vicinity of the scenic spots, look for small, local dining options near the taxi drop-off points or ask your driver for the nearest recommendation.

  3. 11:00

    Dongtou Islands

    Head to a second scenic spot. Use your taxi again to travel between locations. This allows you to see the diverse coastal landscapes without the fatigue of long walks across the island terrain.

Local tip

Do not believe the touts that approach you when you get off the bus. Stick to official transport or agreed taxi fares.
