Don't Go to Dongji Island During Peak Season: Read This Guide Carefully

Because it was summer, it was the peak season, and I even set my alarm for 5 AM to rush for tickets. I was incredibly lucky and managed to snag a sleeper berth. It departed from Zhenjiang South Station at 12 PM, arriving in Ningbo at 4:20 PM. Following netizens', I bought a car ticket to Shijiamen at the bus station next to the train station. I stayed in Shijiamen for a night, hearing that island supplies were very expensive, so I specifically bought three bottles of water and a box of seasickness medicine. In the end, they were of no use, because I didn't even feel seasick. If you don't get seasick, there's no need to buy seasickness medicine,I pre-booked a sea view room for 346 per night, which is indeed not cheap, and the window directly overlooks the sea. As soon as my luggage was put down, I couldn't resist lying on the window to take a few photos. After lunch, I started cycling around the island, reaching the hottest time of nearly 2 PM, I didn't choose a direction, just followed the road, taking pictures everywhere. It was scorching hot, and the stone was burning under the sun. I was determined to 'pose,' I walked in a counterclockwise direction, and I couldn't see anyone along the way. I arrived at Furu Donghai, which is said to be a landmark of Dongfo Mountain, so of course, I had to make a memory. Along the way, I saw a sign with words left by tourists, wondering what kind of lives they were experiencing?The entire Dongfo Mountain is a mountain, constantly going up and down, left and right, it takes a long time to encounter someone. Only the sound of waves crashing against the rocks can be heard from the bottom of the mountain. It was eerily quiet. Finally, it was dark in the evening, and I came out. At sunset, I suddenly envied the islanders who lived on the island, not interacting with the outside world, guarding this peaceful and beautiful state passed down through generations. Traveling alone, I didn't eat seafood, just ordered a stir-fried dish and a bowl of rice. The neighboring table was a family, ordering a lot of seafood, laughing and eating. Someone said, 'It's best for a solo traveler not to go to seaside places because the feeling of loneliness will be greater,'The next day, I rushed to the temple lake to catch the boat. I thought there would always be a little more bustle there. This time, I learned from my mistakes and rested in the guesthouse for two hours before going out at 3:30 PM. It was still very hot, and I took the counterclockwise route again, so I didn't encounter anyone along the way. As I walked, I was sweating profusely and taking pictures. I passed by Dongji Temple, and an elderly man was selling iced tea for 8 yuan. He said, 'In this island, it sells 10 yuan.' I thought about it and didn't buy it, haha. I took a picture of myself leaning against a stone crack and a branch, which is considered a 'checking-in' photo. I got the iPhone 10 second-shot photo function, no need for a tripod, no need for people to help, I can do it all myself,Although I couldn't shake off the feeling, I took a picture of it, which is also considered a 'checking-in' photo. I got the iPhone 10 second-shot photo function, no need for a tripod, no need for people to help, I can do it all myself. I felt that the Temple Lake wasn't as lively as Dongfo Mountain, even though it was bustling, perhaps my heart was already lonely, even if I was in a crowded crowd, I couldn't feel the bustle. I bought a bag of sour plum juice for 10 yuan, saying that the boss used sour plum to make it herself, not with powder. I believed her and bought it,In the evening, I just ate a little at the pier and returned to the guesthouse. The guesthouse had a very high balcony, and I quietly enjoyed the island night scene by myself. The boss's downstairs asked if I wanted to drink beer, and I thought about it and didn't drink it. Traveling alone in Dongji Island, loneliness will be there, because most of the tourists traveling with me were family members, either couples, but looking back, people are inherently lonely, no one can walk with you forever, there are many things, we have to do them ourselves. I strongly recommend avoiding peak season, accommodation is not cheap, bring plenty of water, especially Dongfo Mountain, it's very thirsty, the water on the top sells 10 yuan. Before traveling, you should first take advantage of Mafangwu.
