Xuanshan Island is a picturesque and distinctive natural landscape garden. The island boasts beautiful and unique natural scenery, with winding coastlines, towering cliffs, strange reefs, numerous caves, and many beaches shaded by lush green trees. Due to the undulating terrain, every hundred steps reveal a different view, a phenomenon known as ‘a view every hundred steps’, with natural attractions scattered throughout the island.
Its main attractions include the ‘Broken Collapse’ cliff, azure sea and golden sand, the crescent at Half Mountain, listening to the tide at Shi Ao, watching the sea waves from the cliff at Half Mountain, the Pangu Stone on the Great Hoe Cliff, gazing at Tie Deng Mountain, and watching the sunrise over the azure sea. There are also unique natural landscapes such as the turtle going to sea, the dragon emerging from the cave, the Buddha lying on the waves, the three reefs reflecting the moon, the pillar supporting the sky, the turtle guarding the dragon’s seat, the green dragon spitting pearls, and exploring the mysterious caves. In addition, Xuanshan Island has a high forest coverage rate and a rich variety of wild plants, many of which are unique to the island, such as the ‘Zhoushan New Wood’, the city tree of Zhoushan, which is a national second-level protected plant, as well as wild narcissus and camellias. Many places on the island are rarely visited by people, and the original vegetation is well preserved, giving people a feeling of ‘returning to nature’. It is an ideal place for island eco-tourism. Featured tourist activities on the island include fishing by the shore. Surrounded by reefs and abundant in fish species, visitors can simply carry a fishing rod, catch some stone scorpions on the rocks as bait, and enjoy fishing. Tourists can also collect shells on the beach, where there are many types of shellfish such as horse hoof snails, sesame snails, yellow snails, spicy snails, Buddha’s hand, oysters, conical hats, and barnacles. Groups of visitors can collect shells and clams by the sea, which is a unique pleasure. Leisure fishing involves going out to sea by boat to fish and catch crabs at the sea’s edge, allowing one to experience the life of a true fisherman of the East China Sea and enjoy the joy of a bountiful harvest, playing in the sea and fulfilling the dream of a fisherman.
