Golden Sand Island

Golden Sand Island, with its former name of Net Weaving Island, is an arc-shaped island made up of 11 sandy cams.

It is 13.5 kilometers long covering 3.25 square kilometers. Its widest place is 250 meters. This island looks like a huge ship anchored among the great waves, or a large whale floating on the seawater. Legend says that when the 8 Immortals crossed the sea, Han Xiangzi cast a net, but it was leaky. Sandy dams below formed and draw some phoenix. Thus its former name is Net Weaving Island. It is said that the place where a phoenix goes is gull of treasure, but up to now none has dug out any treasure under the ground.

On Golden Sand Island there is a lake, and an island is in this lake, making a wonderful view on the sea. The width of this island is changing continuously with waves rising and falling. Full of soft sands, it looks like a golden ribbon stretching its way into the clear sea under the sun. The long and narrow island separates the nearby sea into inner sea and outer sea. The outer sea is a natural seaside resort with golden sand and clear water; the inner sea is an ideal place for fish, crabs, prawns and scallops. In May and November large groups of red-crowned cranes and gray cranes come to this island. Countless seagulls fly low for food. If you are luck, you can meet gray-mouthed gulls, tare in the world.

The west tip of this island is the main seaway through which fishermen go out to fish and return with sea products. Accompanied by flying seagulls, they sing songs.
