Baixiao Island

Baixiao Island

Baixiao Island is located in the eastern part of Xiaochangshan Island, Changhai County, Dalian, covering an area of less than one square kilometer. It got its name because its shape resembles that of a baixiao (a type of octopus). It is a gift from heaven, a small island so beautiful it defies description.

Towering ancient pines stand on steep cliffs, amidst dark green foliage dotted with clusters of red maple leaves and golden-yellow oak trees. The crystal-clear waters reflect the green pines and crimson leaves, creating a stunningly beautiful scene.

Around the island, dark brown reefs are scattered like stars, each with its own unique shape—some resemble frogs, others elephants, dogs, or lions. Some rise high like swords, while others split and tilt as if overturned. The myriad fantastical forms are a magnificent sight, the miraculous works of nature leaving behind timeless legends on Baixiao Island.
