Daheishan Island
大黑山岛
An outlying island west of Changdao with sea-eroded landforms at Longzhua Mountain, the Juxian Cave and pristine island scenery. Few visitors make it here, so it suits a full day of exploring.
Daheishan Island is the largest island in the western part of the Miaodao Archipelago. It gets its name from its dense vegetation, which looks dark from a distance. On the north shore, sea cliffs, sea caves and reefs around Longzhua Mountain reach into the water like a dragon stretching out its claws, and this is the island's main attraction. The island also has Juxian Cave (Juxian Dong), the Beizhuang ruins and several fishing villages, where the people are down-to-earth and seafood is cheap. Ferries leave from the pier on Nan Changshan Island and take about 30 to 40 minutes. Schedules change with the seasons and weather, so confirm the return sailing before you go. You can hire a car to tour the island, which takes half a day to a full day.
