Dayang Mountain and Xiaoyang Mountain are situated opposite each other across the sea. The island is located 39.6 kilometers northeast of Caoyuan Town, the county seat, and 35 kilometers northwest of Luchao Port, Nanhui District, Shanghai. Shaped like a propeller, the island stretches from east to west, measuring 4 kilometers in length. The width varies, with the southern end being 1.3 kilometers wide and the northern part ranging from 200 to 300 meters. The total land area is 4.19 square kilometers, and the coastline spans 16.7 kilometers. Surrounded by mountains, the island features a relatively open central valley. The highest peak on the island reaches an altitude of 204 meters. Known for its peculiar rock formations and cliff carvings, Dayang Mountain is home to Tiandao Cave, a gap cave formed by stacked granite. This unique cave allows access to the mountain top from above and entry to the sea from below. Xiaomei Mountain, on the other hand, boasts stone carvings such as ‘The sea is calm as waves’ and an ancient Queen of Heaven Palace from the Qing Dynasty, which is recognized as a county-level cultural relic.
The island is open to visitors all year round, with operating hours from 08:00 to 17:00.
