Introduction

Seal Island is renowned for its enchanting scenery worldwide. It lies quietly above the sea, providing a perfect place for seabirds to roost and breed. The island is home to numerous seagulls, which are known as "sea cats" by the locals. Therefore, Seal Island is also referred to as "Cat Island." Every spring, the blooming hibiscus on the island attracts white egrets, a nationally protected animal, to come and build nests and lay eggs. They stay until autumn before leaving with their fledglings. Furthermore, Seal Island is also a paradise for flowers and plants, with charming hibiscus, reeds, and wild jujube trees scattered all over the place. The waves of the sea and the colorful flowers complement each other, creating a picturesque view of the island.
