Guangzhou Has a 'Conscientious' Small Island: A Free 3A Scenic Area That Many Tourists Don't Know About
Guangzhou, also known as ‘Yaang City’ and ‘Flower City’, is located in the south of China, a world-class first-tier city, and one of the most economically developed cities in the country. For more than two thousand years, Guangzhou has flourished continuously. It is a major port for economic and foreign trade. As a national historical and cultural famous city, Guangzhou is also a famous international tourist city. It has many historical and cultural relics and abundant tourism resources, which are always loved by tourists at home and abroad.
When it comes to Guangzhou’s tourist attractions, many people will first think of ‘Pearl River Night Cruise’, ‘Long Tourism Resort’, ‘Guangzhou Tower’, and ‘Baiyun Mountain’ etc. famous attractions. However, in the Panyu District of Guangzhou, there is also a very beautiful small island, although it is not very well-known, but it is also worth a visit. This small island is called ‘Hai’ao Island’.
‘Hai’ao Island’ is located in the Panyu District of Guangzhou, opposite the Lianhua Mountain, it is a AAA-level tourist resort, with very convenient transportation, and not far away, you can take a bus to reach it. It is a purely original island, with agriculture as its main industry, which is very rare in this international metropolis of Guangzhou. It has a pastoral landscape and is praised by many people as ‘Guangzhou’s Backyard Garden’.
Many people who hear the name ‘Hai’ao Island’ will mistakenly think that there are many seagulls there. When you arrive, you will find that there are actually no seagulls at all, because if you look at the island from a high angle, you will find that the shape of the island is a little like a seagull, so it is named according to the Chinese name, so many people jokingly say that it is a seagull-less ‘Hai’ao Island’.
To come to ‘Hai’ao Island’, you must try the fish, shrimp, and crab here! Because it is purely original, the seafood here is the freshest, and the roadside stalls are built by the sea, and the store owners directly cast nets at your dining table, and the amount you catch is what you supply, depending on how lucky they are with one cast.
‘Hai’ao Island’ does not require a ticket and is open to the public for free. It is very ‘conscientious’. However, because of its lack of fame, it has not been specifically promoted, so few tourists know about it. Most of the visitors are local people from Guangzhou. It is best to come to ‘Hai’ao Island’ in early spring, when the ‘Gesanghua’ (Magnolia) flowers are in full bloom season, covering the mountains and valleys, and you can go with three or five friends, blow wind and sea, ride bicycles, fly kites, or drive, bring a barbecue stove to barbecue, but don’t forget to take the trash away before leaving.
