Zhangzi Island
獐子岛
Known as an 'ocean pasture' for its sea cucumbers and abalone, the island has white-walled, red-tiled houses built into the hillside. Eagle Beak Rock, Golden Sand Beach and East Beach are all worth a visit.
Zhangzi Island lies in the south of the Changshan Archipelago and has highly developed marine aquaculture. Most buildings on the island have white walls and red tiled roofs, and the environment is clean and tidy. The signature attraction is Eagle Beak Rock, about 10 metres tall, which you can climb to look out over the bay. Golden Sand Beach has fine sand, and East Beach exposes large areas of reef at low tide, making it ideal for tide-pool foraging. The island has many sport-fishing boats, and you can also take a semi-submersible boat to view the seabed. Boats from Dalian Port or Pikou Port take about 2 hours. A one-night stay is recommended. The coordinates mark the island's centre.
