Feicui (Emerald) Island

翡翠岛

A dune peninsula at the southern tip of the Golden Coast, where tall sand dunes, sand sliding and lagoon wetlands coexist. It is a rare “sea desert” along the Bohai coast.

Feicui Island lies in the southern part of the Changli Golden Coast National Nature Reserve. It is a dune peninsula surrounded by the sea and the Qilihai Lagoon. Sand dunes dozens of meters high offer sand sliding and dune buggy rides, while the far side of the dunes gives way to wetlands and forest belts, with quiet, clear beaches. Tickets are required, and a visit takes about 3 hours. In summer the sand gets very hot, so bring sun protection, and do not litter inside the reserve. It is about 12 km from Aranya.
