Zhejiang's very own Iceland
Jinhua|Zhejiang's very own Iceland
If you can't go to Iceland, then come to the little Iceland in Jinhua, Zhejiang, a niche check-in spot
Dana Jinhua Little Iceland
Ticket: 78 RMB per person (can be exchanged for a drink)
Visiting hours: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM
This is an abandoned lime quarry pit, which a few years ago was used by a film crew leaving behind a sunken ship and wooden houses. Coupled with the black mountain and the lake-blue water pond, it has the characteristics of a Nordic tourist spot. On the day we went, there was heavy rain, which made the mountains appear more profound, and with the mist swirling around, it had quite the desolate end-of-the-world feel of Iceland.
Blue water🧊+ sunken ship🚢
The atmosphere is maxed out
Photography suggestions:
Bring a transparent umbrella or a pure black umbrella as a photo prop
Photos taken on rainy or foggy days will feel more atmospheric

You absolutely can't miss this real-life Spirited Away—Zhejiang's Xiaobing Island!
You absolutely can't miss this real-life Spirited Away—Zhejiang's Xiaobing Island!🌄
It's not that Iceland is unaffordable, but Xiaobing Island in Zhejiang offers better value for money, with its mountainous mists giving the feeling of being in a dream, incredibly beautiful. A self-driving tour is totally worth it, making the trip very worthwhile!🚗
📍 Departing from Shanghai, it takes four hours to reach Xiaobing Island, and the road cost for four people was 146, overall a high cost-performance ratio.
🚗 Transportation: We directly set our destination to Zhejiang Dana Ye.Xiaobing Island, but cars can't drive in, so you have to park outside, with a parking fee of 10 yuan per time, which is charged haha🤣, then climb up about 200 meters to reach inside the Xiaobing Island scenic area.
🚶 About destination transportation: We directly set our destination to Zhejiang Dana Ye.Xiaobing Island, but cars can't drive in, so you have to park outside, with a parking fee of 10 yuan per time, which is charged haha🤣, then climb up about 200 meters to reach inside the Xiaobing Island scenic area.
😐 Recommended itinerary: Xiaobing Island scenic area, check in at the hot air balloon installation, check in at the black ore mine, take photos in the lakeside camping tents, and experience Xiaobing Island latte and fries.
💰 Budget planning: The entrance fee is 78, including a cup of latte/American coffee, which can be exchanged once inside. Food expenses: experienced the fries and latte coffee on the Xiaobing Island car.
🚫 Special tips: First of all, the ticket includes coffee, so remember to go and exchange it, haha. You can buy tickets by scanning a code at the entrance upon arrival. There are many people on weekends, and also in the afternoon, so it is recommended to travel on weekdays. Also, if you plan to travel during holidays, it's a good idea to plan your time and itinerary in advance.

Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai belong to their own little Iceland in Jinhua
Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai belong to their own little Iceland in Jinhua.
The atmosphere is full of black, white, and grey, with the lake's water blue and crystal clear.
You can play with paddleboards and kayaks.
Black swans and camels are free-range, and the lakeside is pet-friendly under the sky canopy.

Before everyone else finds out about this place, I'm going to have an 'interstellar' roam
I saw a friend post about this magical place on social media a few days ago, so I quickly picked a weekend to check it out
Before it gets popular, I'm seizing the chance for an interstellar roam
Here's a guide and some tips for you
—
Transportation: Get off at Jinhua Station
① Taxi around 30 yuan, time: 40min
Advantages: Available anytime, no waiting
Disadvantages: Not cost-effective
② Bus 4 yuan—Tour 3 route/Y3 route
Get off at Jiulong Bus Station
Time 40min
Advantages: Almost the same duration as taking a taxi
Disadvantages: I don't know how often the buses run, so you might need to wait
Tips: For the return trip, you need to go to Shuanglong Bus Station, which is a 1.4km walk

Choose your transportation according to your own schedule
-----
Ticket: 78 yuan
Includes a free cup of coffee and a water bottle (mandatory consumption, because I heard from a friend that it wasn't necessary before)
·
Recommended weather
Many people prefer sunny days for travel, but this place is actually better on cloudy or rainy days, as the photos will turn out better. It's too ordinary on sunny days. When I went, it was rainy, and the fog enveloped the whole area. The stranded wheel rims now look particularly lonely, and I couldn't see anyone inside. Do you... like this kind of atmosphere?
·
Clothing
Black and white will create a more atmospheric feel, but of course, you can wear whatever you like
Bringing your own white umbrella would be better~

Zhejiang has its own little Iceland
The overall atmosphere is quite nice.
However, considering the ticket price of 78, there isn't much to do
(includes a cup of coffee☕️).
It's probably a place you would only visit once.
Sisters who like taking photos might enjoy it here.
It's not really worth a special trip just for this.

The tearful lessons from the trip to the small ice island in southern Fujian, listen before you go
The trip to the small ice island in southern Fujian was a disaster, it was a Waterloo in my travel photography career. Everything was wrong when I went to Nanding Island. I'm sharing this to help those who want to go to the island avoid the same mistakes. These are all my painful experiences.
I will also go back to Nanding Island
Zhangzhou Zhangpu Nanding Island
: The smallest boat costs 600 and can seat five people, the big boat costs between 100-150 per person, you can form a team to go.
Main: Take the boat from Zhengmei Village in Zhangzhou Zhangpu, it takes about an hour and a half from Zhengmei Village to Zhangzhou/Xiamen, and the boat ride is 50 minutes one way.
A Lessons from landing on the island
1: The waves are very big, if you are not confident, you can take motion sickness medicine first, this time I didn't take the medicine and was dizzy when I got up, it was really uncomfortable after landing.
2: You need to watch the tide, you can only see a lot of basalt when the tide is at its lowest, the tide is very important!
3: Check the weather in advance, cloudy days are recommended, the island is more suitable for cloudy days, sunny days always feel a bit strange, this time I went to the island under the midday sun, it was really hard to take pictures.
4: The boatman only stays on the island for up to three hours, you must watch the time, there is only a lighthouse and grass on the top, it is recommended to walk quickly and then head straight to the left coastline facing the island, that's where the large basalt is, this time I didn't watch the time and spent too much time in other places, so by the time I went to the left basalt, it was time to get on the boat, I could only take a quick look and go back with the main group, it was really a disaster.
5: Because this is not yet a mature scenic area, you must find a reliable boatman, this time I contacted the boatman through Yuguang Homestay, and formed a team with my teammates, the boatman is very reliable and professional, the boat is very stable.
6: Because it's all quite high, you must pay attention to safety, try not to do dangerous actions for a photo, it's not worth it.
7: You can't go up every day, there are some special situations where the waves and wind are too big to land on the island, so be prepared, it is recommended to go to Waiyu for a round, it's also fun, the specific strategy is on my homepage.
Yuguang Designer Homestay
This time I stayed in the sea view king room of Yuguang's second phase, with large floor-to-ceiling windows, the sea view is just outside the window
Minimalist MUJ style, tatami design
Equipped with electric curtains, smart bathroom, nut projector, we had grilled grouper with my teammates at the homestay in the evening.
Then under the careful preparation of Yuguang Homestay
-We went to the beach to release Kongming lanterns
I made a wish for peace and health in 2024
Successfully flew up
You can check in to Yuguang Homestay one day in advance
Book the Nanding Island sea trip through Yuguang Homestay, the boatmen are all carefully selected by the boss, very reliable

Sharing a great spot
There's no such thing as a bad photo here... It's even more beautiful on cloudy or rainy days.
You can take those moody, cinematic shots! After the renovation, Zundu is pretty good! Boating, camping, coffee shops, hot air balloons,
and the glass-bottom boat rides are very photogenic! The water is also tinged with blue light, it's just really cool!! Coolness is everything!!

Danaoya Jinhuashan Xiaobing Island, hot and sizzling
Atop the glacier, a small island stands,
At the summit of Jinhuashan, Danaoya Xiaobing Island kicks off its grand celebration.
Without extravagant gestures, sparing no petals, red carpets, or VIP seats,
Mountains and rivers are intimate, the world is cool, souls resonate, snow and frost blend together.
The national submarine base, the stone village commercial district, luxury camps, cultural and creative teahouses,
Earthly art, all in sight, leave a photo, experience the wonder.
The long river of history, the site of lectures, the voice of Liu Zi, the legacy of mountain spirit.
Southern charm, a thousand-year-old story, Jinhuashan mines, the sediment of time,
Reform years, movie melodies, the new look of the mine pit, a realm of internet celebrities.
At the summit of Jinhuashan, Danaoya Xiaobing Island,
Mountains and waters blend, poetry abounds, souls resonate,
Explore the ancient and modern, feel the mountains and waters, leave footprints,
The beauty of Jinhuashan, all before your eyes.

Jinhua Little Iceland | A niche treasure and secret destination, exclusively enjoy the Nordic scenery
| A niche treasure and secret destination, exclusively enjoy the Nordic scenery. If you can't make it to Daocheng, take a trip to Jinhua Little Iceland first!
📍 Navigation: Danaye · Jinhua Mountain Little Iceland
It's only a 2.5h drive from Hangzhou, and 40min from Jinhua city center to Jinhua Little Iceland
⚠️ It is recommended to drive there, as there are currently no bus stops at the site
The nearest bus stop is 'Shuanglong' station, and it's a 1.4km walk, about 20 minutes, from there.
🎫 Ticket: 78 RMB per person, includes a beverage
Upon first stepping in
It's as if you've stepped into a movie scene
Below the grey-brown mine
Lies a pool of emerald water
A large ship quietly docked here
A black camping site
A white English sign
It's just like a small town from the Western World.
This place is located in an abandoned 🪨 quarry in Jinhua's Jiulong Village, covering an area of about 200 acres. Little Iceland is actually a mountaintop ⛰️, but this mountain is special, as it is made of typical limestone, appearing blackish-grey, 🌿 without a blade of grass, resembling a black sand beach. Beneath this dark rock lies a lake, with clear and cold water, 🌬️ and when the wind blows, ripples dance across the surface. It is said that this place was discovered by the film crew of 'The Farthest South', who built a whaling ship 🐋 according to the needs of the plot.
Now, this place has become an internet-famous spot, overcrowded, no longer the leisurely and comfortable small town it once was
‼️ Therefore, make sure to prepare well before visiting Little Iceland, and it is suggested to come in the 🌅 morning or forenoon. At this time, the sun rises in the east, full of vitality, and the photos taken are especially beautiful, but the most important point is that there are fewer people, the whole scenic area is yours, 📸 take photos however you want, and it's easier to get good shots. If you come during noon, not only does the light lose its three-dimensionality, but the place is also full of tourists, making it hard to find a poetic and picturesque atmosphere.
📷 Photography suggestions:
Bring a transparent or pure black umbrella as a photo prop
Photos taken on rainy or foggy days will feel more atmospheric
Nearby attractions include the Jinhua Shuanglong Scenic Tourism Area (Shuanglong Cave, Lünu Lake, Huang Daxian Ancestral Palace), and friends who are interested can also explore these places～

Accidentally entered the end of the world, Jinhua Little Iceland
Little Iceland Scenic Area should be an abandoned mine, now developed into a tourist resort.
There are various beverage shops and camping shops around the core scenic area, but they are not yet renovated. If you want to relax, you can come here for a walk.
As soon as you enter the scenic area, there is a model of an abandoned large ship, which has the taste of the Titanic.
Further back is a tin train device, which is expected to become a coffee shop in the future.
Near the mountain, there is a device based on the prototype of the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda, which is mirrored and very suitable for taking pictures and checking in.
The center is a small lake, which feels quite clear.
In the distance are some black houses
At the end of the lake walk, there are some large camping platforms, and the sky tents have been set up.
There are blue ores on the vacant land next to it, which have a sense of metaverse technology, and the blue ones are very healing.
Navigation: Jinhua Little Iceland. Depart from Shenjia Expressway, it takes about an hour to drive, and it takes another ten minutes to get off the highway. Be aware that it is a winding mountain road, almost didn't make it up, and it may be a bit tinnitus because it is high.
The car can be parked in the cafe, drive up if you can, otherwise you have to walk a lot. If you go on a weekday, you don't have to worry about parking. There are fewer people. The entrance is a small crack in an iron gate on the left hand side after going uphill.
When I went there that day, the mountain was foggy, super atmospheric. Little Iceland

Jinhua Little Iceland, I thought I had come to Western Sichuan!
Unexpectedly found such a place in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, easier to reach than Western Sichuan, casually shoot big movies!
This place is not big, the dark stone wall, the clear lake, the sun refracts in it is beautiful! Find a sunny day to sit by the lake and quietly bask in the sun, admiring the nature in front of you, don't mention how healing it is...
Many people come here specifically to check in and take photos, and the coffee shop next to it can also sit and stay quietly for an afternoon, maybe the meaning of travel is to be able to put down all the fatigue, let go of the soul...

Offbeat check-in spot pretending to be abroad
Jinhua·Little Iceland
🚗: You can drive directly to the vicinity of Little Iceland, but the uphill road is all mountain roads, with many turns, so be careful.
🚌: I saw the Shuanglong bus stop when I went uphill, you can look for bus routes, and you need to walk a bit after getting off.
⛰️The overall style of the scenic area is dark, wearing black is very matching, you can bring a pair of sunglasses.
❌It is not recommended to come here specifically as a single check-in spot, there will be a gap, the scenic area is still under construction, you can wait until it is all built before coming to check in. (Those who only take beautiful photos to check in can ignore this~)
You can refer to the following check-in route, you can play for a day by taking pictures and strolling at these points:
Wisdom Temple➡️Little Iceland➡️Deer Woman Lake➡️Beishan Lotus Viewing Platform (watch the sunset and night view, it's cold and windy on the mountain at night, bring a thick coat)
