I think the best way to feel the island is to have a road trip around is and stop anywhere, where is safe, and view the scenic beauty, feel the fresh&salty wind, and take pictures. They do not have many coffee shop here, but they have many comfortable teahouses. You can enjoy tea and snack during chatting with your friends. The life is slow here. Although the sand on beaches are not white and bright, which is dark yellow I guess, they are soft and comfy to have a walk. The sand also makes coastal water "unclear" but it is clean blue and green during "peace and calm" weather lol. Off coastal water are completely clean especially during good weather days. ....... I miss the days there and really want to go there again. It must have changed a lot and it must have not changed in nature.

Dongtou island is a beautiful place to go to get away from the city bustle. I enjoyed spending the day here even with a few bumps in the road. First, I took the bus from Wenzhou Xincheng station to Dongtou bus station which was 23 ¥. Once you arrive to the bus station you must grab a taxi to the top of the island. If you're hungry eat by the bus station bc food is limited once you go to the top!! Between my friend and I the taxi was 30¥. Once there, you must pay a beach entrance fee of 50¥. From there you can walk down the steps or take a short ride (5¥) to the beach. We chose to walk and saw cabins you can rent out. We ate at the 1 restaurant by the beach which was okay. Prices are bumped up for foreigners. The scenic walk was amazing and worth every yuan. Everything was so green & stunning. We made it to the end by the tunnel. After that we walked up the steps & found the suspended bridge! Best part of the day. Check it out if you can. There's another part of the island with a glass walkway but that is closed until further notice. If it has opened please comment bc I would love to see it!
