There is one of the four major fishing ports in Guangdong, Shadi Fishing Port and pastoral scenery. Xiachuan Island is a close neighbor of Shangchuan Island, with clear water, white sand and beautiful scenery, such as Dawan in East Sichuan and Nanao Bay. Coconut trees form a forest on the island, which has the unique charm of a subtropical island.

Here, the sea water is crystal clear, the sand surface is white, and the regular triple waves attract every tourist. Visitors can rent waterbeds, rubber boats, etc. to surf the sea in groups of three or five, and they can also rent airships with water parachutes, windsurfing boards, paddling boards, etc. purchased from Britain to compete with the sea. At the same time, you can also sunbathe, fish in the sea and catch crabs on the beach, each with its own wonders.
In the evening, walking on the beach, picking seashells in shallow water, singing to the moon and dancing in the wind are all interesting. As for watching fish and fire at night, fishing under the moon and having a barbecue are doubly interesting. If you walk in the forest, enjoy a cool chat, or live in a tent and camp on the beach, and listen to the sound of waves, it will be more poetic.

Shangchuan Island: Dialogue between Nature and History
Boarding from Shanzui Port Pier in Taishan, it takes about 3 minutes to reach Sanzhou Port in Shangchuan Island. The fast-moving clippers split the thick sea water, splashing waves more than one meter high on both sides. Looking through the window of the cabin, the blue and clear sea water and snow-white spray are just in front of us, within reach. Over two hills, looking forward again, there is another world in front of you, and the dark blue sea water is like an endless carpet, extending infinitely into the distance; As far as you can see, there is a faint fog wrapped around the junction of water and sky, but when you look closely, it seems to be a mountain.
There are three big beaches in Shangchuan Island: Fei Beach (4,8 meters), Golden Beach (5,2 meters) and Silver Beach (8 meters), which are only one kilometer apart. The three beaches line up in the east, stretching for more than ten kilometers. Fei Beach is 4,8 meters long, facing the vast Pacific Ocean, and its water quality is crystal clear without any pollution. The bay is like a crescent moon, and the sea is like thick satin. The beach is divided into three sections, with hills separating the north and south of the middle section, and the mountains are adjacent to the sea, and the reefs and mountains compete for each other. On the beach, thousands of acres of Casuarina belt, good birds singing forest; The beach bathing beach is located in the middle section, with a total length of about 5 kilometers. The beach is flat and solid, and the water depth of 1 meters is still not over the head. It is the most ideal natural bathing beach. In the morning, take a song in the wind in Fei Beach, watch the sunrise on the sea, and look at the glow; At night, you can lie on the beach, listen to the waves and enjoy the tranquility of everything in the world.
It's also worth visiting Fangqi Cemetery. The cemetery is located at the west foot of Xiangshan Mountain in Shangchuan Island. It is a tomb hall with the style of ancient Spanish architecture. The ivory western-style church is hidden in the lush forest, which is particularly solemn under the sunshine.
Xiachuan Island: the * * * song of the soul and the sea
Xiachuan Island is located 6 nautical miles due south of Shangchuan Island, facing Shangchuan Island far away, surrounded by 14 small islands such as Mangzhou, Pingzhou, Shuike Island, Shanzhu Island and Wangfuzhou. Like Shangchuan Island, Xiachuan Island has a subtropical climate with constant temperature all year round and spring all year round.
Unlike Shangchuan Island, which is full of strong humanistic atmosphere, Xiachuan Island is like a charming girl, showing people her youthful vitality all the time. It is worth mentioning that in Nanao Bay of Xiachuan Island, there is also a naturally growing coconut grove. Generally, coconut trees in Lingnan area only grow trees without fruit, but the coconut trees here are different. They not only bear fruit every year, but also have huge fruit and delicious juice. In Wangfuzhou Resort, there is an artificially planted coconut grove avenue called "Lover's Road". The trees on the road are swaying and green. Most couples who come here to travel have to take a trip on this road and feel the green hospitality brought by the "Green Island on the Sea".
The best view of Xiachuan Island is probably at the top of Guanyin Mountain. Standing on the top of Guanyin Mountain and looking around, you can have a panoramic view of Xiachuan Island. At this moment, the "green island on the sea" is endless blue in the distance, green is dripping nearby, and birds are singing and flowers are fragrant all the way, which reminds people of Haizi's poem: "I have a house facing the sea, spring blossoms ..."
Food information
There are seafood food streets near the beaches on both sides of the strait. Visitors can choose live seafood by themselves, or they can buy it on the fish rafts and ask people to process it.
