Wangfu Reef
望夫礁
A sea-eroded rock on the northeast coast of South Changshan Island, shaped like a woman cradling a baby and gazing out to sea, with a seaside boardwalk.
Wangfu Reef sits on the northeast coast of South Changshan Island. A sea-eroded rock column about 20 metres tall rises from the water. From afar it looks like a fisherman's wife holding a baby and gazing out to sea, and it is linked to a legend of a fishing wife waiting for her husband's return. The scenic area has a wooden boardwalk along the coast and observation decks, offering views of North Changshan Island and the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea. It is a classic stop on the island-circling route, often visited together with Fengshan Linhai Park, and takes about 45 minutes. Entry is included in the North and South Changshan combined ticket (subject to on-site confirmation). It is about 10 minutes by taxi from Changdao Port, or you can ride an e-bike along the island's ring road.
