Dongmen Islet
东门屿
A small island off Tongling Port, with a Ming-dynasty pagoda, a Wenchang Pavilion and unusual carved rocks. A ferry takes only a few minutes, and from the island you can see the coast of Tongshan Ancient City.
Dongmen Islet, also called Ta Islet, lies in the sea on the east side of Dongshan County town, facing Tongshan Ancient City across the water. The island has the Wanshou Pagoda (Wenfeng Pagoda), built during the Ming dynasty, along with the Wenchang Pavilion and many rocks with carved inscriptions. From the heights, you can look back at the old city and the coast around the Wind-Moved Rock. A ferry from the Dongmen Islet pier near the Wind-Moved Rock takes about 10 minutes to reach the island. Ticket and landing fees are confirmed on site, and a visit takes about two hours. Ferries are suspended in strong winds or typhoons, so check the last ferry time at the pier before setting out.
