Shangchuan Island & Feisha Beach
上川岛
One of the largest islands in Guangdong, with Feisha Beach's fine sand and clear water. It is the most popular island resort for Jiangmen and Taishan.
Shangchuan Island lies in the southern waters of Taishan City. It covers more than 130 square km and is one of the largest islands in Guangdong Province. Feisha Beach on the eastern shore stretches for several kilometers, with fine white sand and a gentle slope. Hotels, seafood restaurants and water activities make it a popular summer destination for Pearl River Delta visitors. The island's other beaches include Jinsha Beach and Yinsha Bay, and the Francis Xavier Cemetery commemorates St. Francis Xavier, the Catholic missionary who died on Shangchuan Island in 1552. To get there, take a boat from Shanzui Port in Taishan for about 40 to 60 minutes. Sailings depend on the weather, and tickets should be bought early during holidays. On the island, you can charter a car or take sightseeing buses between the beaches. Accommodation prices are higher in peak season, so book in advance, and ferries often stop during typhoon season. Nearby Xiachuan Island (Wangfuzhou) also has excellent beaches.
