Xiawei Island
下尾岛（夏威屿）
A small peninsula jutting into the sea at Changchun Town, where a sea-carved cave frames rocks and windmills. It is a popular photo spot on the southern Xiapu route.
Xiawei Island, also called Xiawei Yu, lies in Lüxia Village, Changchun Town, Xiapu. Despite its name, it is actually a small peninsula stretching into the sea, and there is no need for a boat or bridge. The island is rugged with reefs, and its most famous feature is the "viral cave": shoot outward from inside the sea-carved cave, so the opening frames the sea, sky and rocks, creating striking silhouettes of people. From the hilltop you can see the sea and the windmills on nearby hills. Coastal light-and-shadow boardwalks have been built here, and it is often combined with Dajing Beach, Gaoluo Beach and Lüxia Beach as a one-day trip along the southern Xiapu route. Entry is currently free. The rocks around the sea caves are slippery, so mind the tides and waves, and avoid the cliff edges when the tide is rising or the wind is strong.
