Intro: The Weizhou island is 36 nautical miles away from the city proper with a total area of 24.7 square kilometers. Two arches of East and West exist in the south of the island just like crabs lying in the water. With an area of 1.9 kilometers, the Xieyang island is 4.5 kilometers from the Weizhou island. It is where the spetacular view of the sun slantingly setting can be seen, hence the name Xieyang island. And it also enjoys the reputation as “the big and small Penglai Island ”. More than 40 scenic spots of the two islands such as volcanic eruption, volcanic mouth, marine living things are mainly distributed along the coast. Eroded landforms are strange and lifelike and some sea scenery are rarely seen.
Piglet Ridge: Under the east cape of the Weizhou island, there is a cave called Turtle Cave because of the turtle-like stone at the entrance. 200 meters off, a small island with the shape of piglet rises straight up in the bay, so it’s called Piglet Ridge.
Draining Curtain: Formerly called Draining Cliff, Draining Curtain is located at the south coast of draining village. The precipice is covered with green trees and some water flows over from the cracks of the cliff. The water falls dribs and drabs just like a hanging pearl curtain. Owing to wave erosion, exterior of the cliff
looks like a giant flank man’s head sculpture with eyes, nose, mouth and hair. The scene is very beautiful.
Underwater Colored Ribbon: Underwater colored ribbon is the underwater spectacle which is formed by banding coral reef of the east, north and southwest of the island. Through the clear seawater, colorful, bright and eye-dazzling living coral can be seen. Aquatics of different shapes and sizes such as jellyfish, conches, sea stars etc. are roving without ceasing. Besides these, there are two churches of French Gothic style built in 1580s, the miraculous three old women temple and the mystic thief cavity. Climbing up to the top of the island, you could enjoy sunrise, sunset, and all the spectacle scenery.
