Lulanqingsha Scenic Area is named after its location at the foot of Lulan Mountain in the north of Daishan Island. It is one of the ancient ‘Penglai Ten Scenes’ and a large-scale seaside bathing and beach activity area. The entire scenic area consists of Lulanqingsha Beach, Xu Fu Pavilion, Niluo Mountain, and Haitan.
Lulanqingsha Beach is 3.6 kilometers long, oriented north-south and 300 meters wide east-west. It is one of the longest beaches along the Jiangsu and Zhejiang coast. The beach has a gentle slope and a wide expanse, reaching chest depth only after a hundred meters. During high tide, the waves are large and resounding, creating a grand atmosphere. While during low tide, the water is calm and peaceful. The sand is iron-gray in color, fine and slightly hard in texture, allowing vehicles to drive on it. It is nicknamed ‘Ten Thousand Steps of Iron Plate Sand’. The beach is surrounded by beautiful peaks on three sides. There is a small island in the middle of the beach called Niluo Mountain, and various surrounding reefs, including a nearby Chicken Comb Reef. In the early morning, one can stand on the beach and view the East China Sea through Chicken Comb Reef. A poem by Qing Dynasty poet Liu Menglan praises it as ‘A strip of flat sand winding around the sea’s corner, under Lulan Mountain, a famous place, how to use the white ground bright brocade, to write out the picture of Xiaoxiang falling geese’. There are no impurities or reefs on the seabed near Lulanqingsha, making it an ideal place for maritime sports, beach sports, and sea-sky sports.**Summer Activities and Sea Sacrifice Altar at Niluo Mountain**
During the summer months of July to September, the conditions are perfect for enjoying the beach. The temperature is comfortable, the water is clear, and the sand is fine. People flock to this location to swim, surf, and water ski, basking in the warmth of the sun and the embrace of the sea. At Niluo Mountain in Lulanqingsha, a grand sea sacrifice altar stands majestically, serving as a site for future generations to offer their praises and sacrifices to the ocean. The East China Sea fishing area’s rest period is marked by a grand ceremony here, expressing gratitude to the sea for the fishing break.
