Dongshan Island
Zhangzhou, Zhangzhou
Zhangzhou's answer to the beach: a rugged island of seafood, sand, and the 'wind-moving stone'.
Dongshan is a working island - fishing fleets, seafood markets, and beaches that run for kilometers. Its wind-sculpted granite boulders are the local icon, and the seafood is the freshest in the province.
Rent a scooter, ride the coast road, and eat where the fishermen eat: sand worms, abalone, and the island's famous squid balls.
Best for: Working-island seafood and empty beaches.
