Qiding Mountain is the highest point on the island, with an altitude of 153.5 meters. Due to its strategic location, it has always been a military stronghold and is known as the "screen of the eastern corner" and the "unsinkable battleship". Liu Gong Island is the first national sea forest park in China, with a forest coverage rate of up to 87%, and a beautiful ecological environment, known as the "fairy island on the sea" and the "idyllic paradise". The island has a maritime climate, with warm winters and cool summers, and an average temperature of around 12°C, making it an ideal place for vacation, summer escapes, and convalescence. Liu Gong Island is not only known for its natural scenery, but also as the birthplace of the Beiyang Navy and an important battlefield of the Sino-Japanese War. In addition, the island has many unique cultural landmarks, including ancient battlefield ruins from the Warring States period, the Beiyang Navy Admiralty from the Qing Dynasty, a naval academy, ancient fortifications, a iron pier, and European-style buildings, all of which highlight its historical and cultural heritage. Furthermore, the Liu Gong Island scenic area includes the Naval Society, the Sino-Japanese War Memorial Hall, the Liu Gong Island National Forest Park, the Liu Gong Island Expo Park, the Liu Gong Island Rare Animal Park, and other attractions, each of which is worth visiting.
