Shuangshan Island

　　   Shuangshan Island, locally known as Qingwanzi, is located in Macun Village, Xitou Town, at a bay on the southern foothills of Longgao Mountain. It is 25 kilometers from the county seat and can be directly accessed via the Zhiyang Highway and the Xima Highway. The beach is vast and long, with soft sand, and the coastal protective forest is lush and green. The shoreline is dotted with rugged rocks. About two li from the shore are two small islands, one large and one small, standing majestically. The Shuangshan Bay is scattered with various uniquely shaped reefs.

　　   

　　   The area is home to a variety of precious fish and shellfish species and serves as a conservation zone for sea urchin and lobster farming. The Guangdong Provincial Department of Ocean and Fisheries has established the province’s first artificial reef here. Visitors can swim, dive to explore the wonders, fish, and collect shellfish, making for an endlessly enjoyable experience.
