Navigating from north to south in the South China Sea, one encounters four relatively famous islands: Tongpan, Hujing, Wang’an, and Qimei. These islands are mostly known for their static scenic visits.
Tongpan Island is renowned for its basalt landscape trail, which attracts visitors from around the world. Moving on to Hujing Island, it holds historical significance as the site of the advance command post of the Japanese military leader Isoroku Yamamoto during World War II, where he planned the attack on Pearl Harbor. Additionally, Hujing is steeped in the legend of the Sunken City of Hujing.
Wang’an Island offers a variety of attractions, including the footprints of Lu Dongbin on Tiantai Mountain, a well-preserved 300-year-old settlement with traditional houses, and the picturesque Wang’an Kou Beach. Each of these islands provides a unique experience for visitors seeking to explore the natural beauty and historical significance of the South China Sea.
