Xi’ao Island is located in the southeast of Zhelin Bay, Raocheng County, Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province, named for its position southwest of Zhelin and the numerous bays along its coastline.
Bai Lu Paradise is situated on Xi’ao Island in Zhelin Town, attracting attention for its flocks of egrets, hence the name ‘Bai Lu Paradise’.
As the sun sets, a spectacular scene unfolds above Xi’ao Island known as ‘Egret Returning to the Nest’: flocks of egrets fly from afar to the northwest corner of the island, known as Yongwei Mountain.
From a distance, it appears as if the mountain is covered in white camellias, with some egrets paired up, cuddling each other, some leisurely preening their feathers, and others brooding.
All of this exudes tranquility and harmony. Egrets belong to the family of birds, herons, with pure white feathers, prefer to live in groups, and primarily feed on small fish and other aquatic animals.
Opening hours and specific business status are subject to the day’s conditions. Must-see tips: to reach the island, take a ferry, and enjoy the beach and Bai Lu Paradise.
