Taishan coast

Xiachuan Island

下川岛王府洲旅游区

Nearest transit: Shan'zui Port ferry + island transfer
When to go: Arrive early enough to settle before sunset

Ferries and island connections depend on current operations and weather. Keep a buffer around arrival and departure, especially before a flight or long-distance train.
