In fact, many people have heard of the name Qi 'ao Island, but because it is not a popular tourist destination, not many people come here, most of them are locals who come for a walk. It's only half an hour's drive from the city center and only ten minutes' drive from Riyuebei. Very convenient. There are not many recreational facilities on the island, but they are casual and comfortable.

Visiting the Old Street: Baishi Street is an old street bearing the glorious history of the island. There is a big white arch at the corner. According to the data, it was built by Qi 'ao people in 1833 with the British defeat compensation. Most of the old houses in the alleys are well preserved.

Cycling: There are bicycles for two or four people on the island, and the price is not expensive.
Accommodation: Seeing a friend recommend a local hotel, I feel that the island is not big, so it is enough to reserve half a day to play. If you have enough time and want to deeply experience the life of local fishermen, you can consider staying. It is more convenient to live near Baishi Street.
Catering: There are several farm food stalls on the island, which should be run by local people. The environment is average and not very attractive. If you are not too hungry, it is more practical to have dinner in the city.

In fact, Xin effectively suppressed the cough, which is also amazing. Take it back to the company and be eaten as a snack by colleagues. Colleagues went to Zhuhai on business and bought another bunch.
