Jintang Island is an inhabited island in the Zhoushan archipelago of Zhejiang province, China, belonging to the broader Zhoushan administrative area. It is one of the larger islands in the group and is characterised by fishing villages, coastal roads and seafood industries.

The island functions as a local transport and service hub for surrounding islets and has ferry connections to other Zhoushan islands and the mainland. Visitors will find working harbours, seafood restaurants and stretches of shoreline rather than major tourist resorts.

Administratively it lies off the Zhejiang coast in the East China Sea within Zhoushan prefecture.

• Economy and character: Part of the Zhoushan archipelago off the Zhejiang coast, the island is inhabited and associated with fishing, seafood production and local coastal tourism.

Ferries and boats operate between Zhoushan’s islands and the mainland; Jintang is accessible from Ningbo and Zhoushan ferry terminals.

• If exploring, notify local municipal offices about access to island facilities.
• Bring sun protection and sturdy shoes for rocky shorelines.
• Combine the island visit with local seafood restaurants in the archipelago for a fuller day.
