Fangji Island
放鸡岛
An offshore island in Dianbai with clear waters, known across western Guangdong for diving, sea fishing and water sports.
Fangji Island lies in the southern waters of Dianbai District. According to legend, fishermen once released roosters on the island as an offering to the sea before setting out, which gave the island its name. The surrounding water is quite clear, making it a popular diving spot in western Guangdong. Visitors can try snorkeling, glass-bottom boat tours, sea fishing and jet skiing, and there is a resort hotel where you can stay overnight. Boats to the island leave from the shoreline pier. Ferry tickets and island activities are often sold as packages, so check the scenic area's announcements for current prices. Ferries stop running in strong winds or typhoons.
