Huanglong Island & Yuanbao Rock
黄龙岛·元宝石
A small stone island southeast of Sijiao, where the giant seaside boulder ‘Yuanbao Rock,’ stone-house fishing village, and cliff inscriptions create a distinctive stone-culture landscape.
Huanglong Island is a small island south of Sijiao, known for its granite landscape. Yuanbao Rock, at the seashore of Dongzuitou, consists of two giant boulders stacked on top of each other in the shape of a gold ingot, and it serves as the island's emblem. Villagers mostly build their houses from stone, and the stone houses are stacked up the hillside. Cliff inscriptions include ‘Donghai Yunlong’ (Dragon in the Clouds of the East China Sea). Few tourists come here, making it a good place for a leisurely half-day with local seafood. Getting there: a boat from Sijiao takes about 20–30 minutes, with few departures, so check the schedule in advance.
