“A Journey to Chase the Sunrise 🌅”, part of the ideal self-driving experience and conversation in a L9.

1. Seeking the place where the sun rises:

During the National Day holiday, there is always a day when you want to see the sunrise and go to the place where the sun rises earliest. Due to the restrictions of not being able to leave the province and other reasons, after searching on Baidu, the easternmost point of Zhoushan Archipelago – Dongya Cliff was found.

Dongya Cliff is located on Shengshan Island, also known as Chenqianshan or Jinshan. Shengshan islanders say that Shengshan is the hometown of the sun in the East China Sea. There are two places on Shengshan Island that cannot be missed: one is the Dongya Cliff on the island, and the other is the fishing fire of Shengshan fishing port. (Gouqi Island and Houtouwan Village on Shengshan Island where Juzhoujiang Bridge connects. If time permits, you can also visit them together.)

This time, we will follow the sun to the place where it rises – Dongya Cliff.

2. Baidu Baike introduction:

Dongya Cliff is located at the eastern end of Shengshan Island. The steep cliff, which is tens of meters high, stretches into the sea, and the waves under the cliff are turbulent, which is very spectacular. Almost all visitors to Shengshan will not miss the beautiful sunrise here. At around 4-5 am in the morning, the red sun spouts out from the sea and the golden sunlight spreads on the sea surface, which is extraordinarily beautiful. Now, a pedestrian walkway has been built on the Dongya Cliff, and tourists can reach the top of the cliff to overlook the sea and the scallop breeding area. Along the way, you can see various characteristic houses on the island, scattered fishing boats on the sea, and sometimes you can encounter local residents fishing and collecting shells on the reefs, which is full of island style.

Opening hours: 03:30-18:00 all year round (ticket sales stop at 17:30)

Preferential policies: Children: free for those under 1.2m (excluded); half price for those between 1.2m (included) and 1.5m (excluded). Elderly people: free for those over 70 (included); free for those aged 60-69 (included).

Must-see tips: 1. Watching the sunrise requires choosing a good weather, and also requires some luck. If there is fog on the sea, the sunrise will not be so clear. 2. There are many steep cliffs in the scenic area. When visiting, you must follow the rules of the scenic area and pay attention to safety.

3. The easternmost island:“`
   The cliff top is the best place to watch the sunrise, enjoy the sea view, and watch the fishermen return in the evening. Standing in front of the sea, watching the waves constantly hitting the sea surface, people’s mood will calm down.

On the steep cliffs of Dongya, I waited from 3:30am to 7:00am. Due to the weather, I failed to catch the footsteps of the sunrise this time, but seeing the fishermen go out to sea day after day, I felt fortunate to be born in a great country where there is no war. Only because there is no war can I stand on the easternmost island and look at our own sea level.

As the local official account of Shengsi Island says:
🍃The ocean ranch is a moving landscape painting
🍃You can always feel the leisurely life of fishermen
🍃Enjoy the magnificent mountain and sea scenery in the sea breeze
🍃As if the whole world is dancing for this moment

There will always be regrets in life:
Every trip has regrets, but every trip also has new gains. Just like my ideal L9, it has given us a lot of joy throughout the journey.

Because it is an extended range model, there is no need to worry about the mileage when departing with full electricity and oil. In the traffic jam, parents in the back can even open the entertainment screen and watch TV without worrying about travel anxiety.

I don’t know if you have noticed that time passes quickly when you care about doing something. Therefore, this high-speed trip to Zhoushan passed exceptionally fast. And because of the assisted driving of the Ideal L9, the entire driving process made me more relaxed. After arriving at the destination, I still had enough energy to play, run, and jump.“`
Every time I go on a long journey, I always say to myself: “The ideal may not be the best choice for using a car, but it is definitely the best choice for me right now.”

Thankful for traveling, we are all becoming better versions of ourselves!
