"Go Fighting" is here, why haven't you come yet?

Dong'ao Island is located in the southeast of Xiangzhou District, Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, China, 30 kilometers away from Xiangzhou and in the middle of the Wanshan Islands. The area is about 4.663 square kilometers. Due to the fact that Dong'ao Bay on the east side of the island is about 1500 meters into the middle, it forms a large concave part, hence the name Dong'ao Island. The island is divided into two parts, north and south. The coast is mostly cliffs. There are many boulders on the mountain slopes, and there are many reefs within 90 meters of the shore. There are 415 residents on the island, with facilities such as a fishery station, supply and marketing cooperative, savings bank, school, and health center. There are four simple roads on the island, with a total length of 14.6 kilometers, and abundant water sources. Dong'ao Island is under the jurisdiction of Wanshan District, Zhuhai City. It is a beautiful small island with unique rocks, beautiful water, and lush flowers and trees, as well as fresh air. Dong'ao Island has preserved its original natural ecological environment very well. The white sandy beaches, blue sea, bright sunshine, and dense green forests on the island create an almost perfect ecological tourism environment. Since 1997, the Zhuhai Municipal People's Government has developed the Dong'ao Tourist Resort at the foot of Nanshawan, awakening the peaceful and charming Nanshawan. Dong'ao Island has very lush vegetation and preserves the original natural ecological environment of the island. The natural landscape is unique and charming, with the blue sky, white clouds, green mountains, and clear waters ingeniously combined to form a picturesque scene. There are magnificent sea views and gentle and beautiful forest scenes, as well as primitive and pure natural scenery and distant and broad historical relics. The colorful land customs and mysterious underwater world make people linger. Climbing the Ax Handle Mountain, overlooking the sea from the Honeymoon Pavilion, listening to the waves at the Dazhu Bay, and watching the sunrise at the Dong'ao Bay constitute the splendid natural scenery of Dong'ao Island. The Neolithic relics in Nansha Bay, the ruins of Chongcheng, the beacon tower site, and the stone carvings of "Wudang Scenery" stretch out the long history of Dong'ao Island. Deep-sea diving, playing in the sand on the beach, fishing on the shore, and swimming around the island showcase the magnificence and affinity of the sea. The seafood directly taken from the sea and the rich fishing village style will make your trip to Dong'ao novel, romantic, and comfortable. The climate on the island is pleasant, with ancient trees towering, fishing villages leisurely, and smoke curling up. The most attractive feature of Dong'ao Island is undoubtedly its beaches, including Nansha Bay, Dazhu Bay, and Xiaozhu Bay, with Nansha Bay being the best and enjoying the reputation of a "diamond beach". This is a rare sight in the Zhuhai urban area or nearby islands. The sand is white and delicate, and the beach is gentle and wide. Surfing, diving, and windsurfing are the main tourist activities here. There are accommodation services on the island, and seafood is a delicious delicacy here.
