WanNiao Island is located in the northwest sea area of Penglai. It is the core breeding ground in northern China for black-tailed gulls, fork-tailed swifts, cormorants, and razorbills. More than 90% of the island is made up of steep cliffs, which are as sharp as if split or cut. There are terraces, stone platforms, grottoes, and stone caves in succession, forming a natural ‘seagull stone tower’. Every year between April and May, 274 species of migratory birds from 51 families and 19 orders will pass through here. Hundreds of thousands of seagulls breed here, forming a vivid and precious ‘cliff of life’. Looking up at the cliff, the seagulls are faintly visible, covering the sky. With good luck, you can also enjoy the sight of chicks breaking out of their shells and tens of thousands of chicks waiting to be fed. Opening hours: Open all year round from 08:00 to 15:00. Off-season: Ships depart at 8:30 am. Peak season: From 8:00 to 10:00 am, ships depart in succession. From 13:30 to 15:00 pm, ships depart in succession.
