Dongtou, China

Dongtou is a district in the southern Zhejiang province, the largest of a 168-island archipelago in the East China Sea. It has a strong fishing tradition, and many of its coastal villages are home to colorful fishing boats anchored offshore. The picturesque district is also renowned for its peculiar rock formations; the result of years of erosion by the elements, they provide an otherworldly and captivating backdrop. The district’s most iconic landmark is Wanghai Temple, perched atop a steep promontory overlooking the bay and brimming with more than 1,500 years of history.
