Nan Daihe Xianluo Island, leveraging its natural advantages of blue skies and the azure sea, is built around the beautiful and touching legend of the Sea Snail Fairy, making it a comprehensive maritime amusement venue that encompasses entertainment, sightseeing, fitness, leisure, and dining. It is known as the ‘Fairy Tale on the Sea’. The island is inspired by the folk tale of the Sea Snail Fairy and the fisherman’s son, Haiwa, who fell in love and married, creating a setting that mimics mythological stories with a rustic elegance and charm, akin to a celestial pool amidst the waves and a paradise within the sea. Visiting this island to experience the joy of watching the sea from the sea is indeed a great pleasure in life.


On the island, attractions such as the Sea Snail Fairy, the Three Passes, the Seven Star Stones, the Stone Monkey Watching the Sea, the Windmill Group, and the Dragon Emerging from the Sea are all imbued with a magical aura. The Xianluo Pavilion on the island and the Ju Xian Pavilion on the shore complement each other, offering visitors who climb the pavilion a sense of vastness and tranquility, with the sparkling waves, sailing shadows, white clouds, and gull flocks all laid out before their eyes.


Between the two pavilions, a thousand-meter-long sea cableway, like a rainbow across the sky, tightly connects them, turning a natural barrier into a passage. On the west side of the island, a nearly seventy-meter-high observation tower stands majestically, offering a range of maritime entertainment projects such as bungee jumping, skydiving, rafting, and sightseeing, which are novel, thrilling, and safe. In the southwest of the island, an artificial enclosure filled with sand has created a 7,000 square meter beach in the sea, allowing the brave to play and enjoy the waves to their heart’s content.


A sea tramway is specially set up between the sandy shore and the island, which is a two-way cableway, organically connecting the land and the island, known as the thousand-meter cableway and is the main mode of transportation for tourists to visit the island. The cableway is equipped with more than a hundred two-person semi-enclosed cable cars, taking about 15 minutes to travel from the starting point Ju Xian Pavilion to the Xianluo Pavilion on the island, with a smooth operation.


Sitting in the cable car, visitors can look into the distance, with the nearby Nan Daihe and the distant Bei Daihe connected by water, green trees hiding red walls, clear waters embracing golden sands, seagulls dancing on the waves, and the sea breeze pleasantly brushing against the face, bringing endless comfort and reverie.
