Meizhou Island is actually part of Putian and is the second largest island. Due to its elongated shape from north to south, resembling the eyebrows of a beauty, it is named Meizhou. It has a population of 40,000, with an average annual temperature of 21°C, making it especially suitable for tourism and vacations. The island's coastline stretches over 30 kilometers, including more than 20 kilometers of beaches and 5 kilometers of marine erosion rocks, creating a natural spectacle where mountains are surrounded by water, the sea extends beyond the mountains, and the mountains and sea are connected, blending into the horizon. Coupled with blue skies, white clouds, golden sands, and green forests and temples, it forms a romantic and picturesque coastal scenery and is a national 5A scenic spot. Meizhou Island is the divine birthplace of , hence it is known as the 'Penglai of the South'. Parks, temples, and film and television bases themed around Mazu are scattered throughout the island. There is also the ancestral temple of Mazu, which nearly 300 million Mazu devotees revere. During the annual lunar calendar dates of March 23rd, Mazu's birthday, and the 9th day of the 9th lunar month, Mazu's ascension, the pilgrimage tourism is unprecedented, earning it the reputation of the 'Mecca of the East'. Travel advice: From the downtown area of Putian, you can take a taxi or a bus to Wenjia Wharf. From Wenjia Wharf, take the ferry to Meizhou Island, with departures every half hour (the last return trip at night can be as late as 9 pm, but it is recommended not to be later than 5:30 pm, otherwise many buses will have stopped running, unless you take a taxi or have a private car). After leaving the wharf, walk more than 500 meters to reach the ancestral temple of Mazu (you can choose to visit from near to far, that is, first visit the ancestral temple of Mazu, then explore further; or you can visit from far to near, first take the bus to the southernmost Goose Tail Marine Erosion Geological Park, then head back). Regardless of where you start, it is recommended to rent an electric scooter. The public ones are for single riders. If you are traveling as a couple, you can contact locals to rent a double scooter, which costs 60 yuan plus a 100 yuan deposit. Note: You must park at the designated place to get your deposit back. If you stay at a B&B on Meizhou Island, they will have electric scooters for rent for just 50 yuan. Actually, there is no need to ride around the island, because the distance between attractions is long from north to south and short from east to west, so you can switch back and forth in a zigzag pattern. Because winter is the off-season, there is basically very little food for sale in the scenic area, only the town near the ancestral temple of Mazu will have food. If you are on a day trip and time is tight, it is recommended to bring your own dry food. If you are staying on the island for a two-day trip, you can look for delicious food in the town.

Transportation to the island is only available by ferry, and tickets can be purchased in advance on the official WeChat account (Meizhou Island Ferry), with varying prices as shown in figure two. Transportation on the island includes shared bikes, buses, sightseeing vehicles, and services like DiDi for hailing taxis. Since we are special forces and daring with time, we chose a business car for four people at 120 yuan, which can take us to 6 scenic spots on the island and finally to the pier. Personally, I think it's quite a bargain as it saves time waiting for taxis. The price is negotiable; it was originally 200 yuan but we got it for 120 yuan. ( We also went to the farmers' market as recommended online, and ordered Putian braised noodles, spicy beef, lychee pork, and oyster pancake. The taste is similar to that of Southern Fujian, not much difference. His lychee pork is more like fried crispy meat, and the spicy beef is like beef soup.

You can buy a pack of incense at the entrance. There are many places to worship, with the Tianhou Palace being a highlight. Finally, go up to the Mazu stone sculpture and take the elevator down the mountain. The view from the top is beautiful, overlooking Meizhou Island. Meiyu Tidal Sound: On the way to Meiyu Tidal Sound, you will pass Rainbow Road, where you can stop for photos. The most beautiful plank road at Meiyu Tidal Sound has been closed off, as it has been eroded by the sea and is not accessible, only allowing for distant photos. Mazu Peace Lane: It's actually the Mazu Film and TV City, where the TV series starring Liu Tao was filmed. When we visited, half of it was closed, and we could only tour half of it. It also has a beach and a park to stroll around. At noon, you can lie down on the beach chairs there, which is very comfortable.

The most worthwhile place to visit on Meizhou Island is the Ewei Divine Rock Garden, but the one place you must go is the Mazu Temple! It is only when you arrive at Meizhou Island that you realize Mazu is actually from Meizhou. The Mazu Temple here is the ancestral temple, the true place of origin! And we were very lucky that on the day we unknowingly chose to go to the Mazu Temple, it just so happened to be the 1036th anniversary of Mazu's ascension to immortality. Taoists from Taiwan and believers from all walks of life came to the Mazu Temple to pay their respects and offer incense. The scale of the event was something I had never seen before! I was shocked and truly felt the influence of Mazu culture! We watched the entire process of the event at the Mazu Temple. There were probably over a thousand participants. After the event, I saw them taking Mazu back and then starting a tour around the island. Later, we encountered them in many places and could really feel their devotion! After leaving the Mazu Temple, we went to the Tianhou Hometown, which is essentially a museum that introduces some of Mazu's life stories. If you have time, it's worth taking a look~
