Nanpeng Island is located in Dongping Town, Yangjiang City, Guangdong Province. It is about 12 nautical miles from the land and covers an area of about 1.24 square kilometers. It is composed of two small mountains. Seen from the side, it looks like a roc spreading its wings, hence the name Nanpeng Island. Looking down, it is in the shape of the figure 8 running from east to west. The mountain on the east side is not very difficult to climb. There are two or three lawns on the mountain. There are thousands of cattle and sheep on the island. Now it has been contracted and operated by people. The vegetation on the mountain is mainly composed of short pine trees and shrubs. Therefore, you must wear climbing shoes or sports shoes and long-sleeved trousers when climbing the mountain to avoid scratches. The mountain on the west side is relatively steep. There is water source on the mountain, which is natural mineral water. There are many mine tunnels dug by the Japanese army in the past. But most of them have been sealed now. The highest point on the island is the 191.5-meter nautical lighthouse. A beach about 150 meters south of the dock is a very ideal camping place. This is the intersection of the figure 8. The beach runs across the island, facing the sea from north to south. On one side, the wind is strong and the waves are high, while on the other side, it is calm. The contrast is extremely great, suitable for both activity and tranquility. In the shallow water about one meter deep, there are a large number of wild sea urchins and sea cucumbers. The seawater is clear and transparent. You can pick up sea cucumbers and sea urchins with your bare hands. The opening hours and specific business status are subject to the opening situation on the day.
