Introduction

This place is located at the easternmost point of the Donghai East Pole Islands, and local fishermen affectionately call it "the homeland of winds, the kingdom of fog, the warm bed of rain, and the cradle of waves." It has a very small area of only 2.95 square kilometers and a permanent population of less than 50 people, but it is the hometown of the famous song "The Second Hometown of the Soldiers." On this small island, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery such as the Potala Palace on the sea, the lying Buddha on Xifu Mountain, the Shiwu Group on the East Pole, the sea bonsai, the Baiyun Temple, and the site of two facing islands.
