Xuejia Island is not only known for its enchanting coastal scenery but also for Zhuchai Island, located east of Gold Sand Beach in the sea, which is an international fishing base attracting numerous anglers annually. From May to October, people flock to this location for vacations.

Although the sea water is not suitable for swimming during the spring and autumn seasons, the bathing beach becomes an ideal place for coastal walks and sightseeing. Couples can stroll along the long beach, breathing the pleasant sea air, and capturing the picturesque scenery of the mountains and sea, as well as the sunset glow. By following the beachside path up to the small hill, one can overlook the beautiful coastal arc of the entire bathing beach.
