Wanning Shenzhou Peninsula

　　Located 30 kilometers south of Wanning County. It covers a total area of 24 square kilometers, surrounded by sea on three sides and land on one. It stretches 8.7 kilometers southeast and 2.7 kilometers northwest, bordered by Niubiao Ridge to the east, the South China Sea to the south, Laoye Harbor to the west, and Dong’ao Port to the north. It boasts both the elegance of water and the grandeur of mountains. Except for Niubiao Ridge in the eastern part, which rises 218 meters above sea level, the rest of the peninsula features flat terrain. Facing the vast South China Sea, the peninsula enjoys abundant rainfall and southeasterly winds all year round. With an average annual temperature of 27°C, the climate is mild and humid, perpetually shrouded in greenery, with sparkling waves and scenic beauty, a pristine environment, and fresh air. From a distance, except for Niubiao Ridge, the entire peninsula appears silvery white. There are beautiful bays here, with long, soft, snow-white sandy beaches stretching toward the distant Gangmen Harbor. So far, eight springs have been discovered on the island. The most remarkable feature of Shenzhou Peninsula is its oddly shaped rocks. Rocky islets just dozens of meters off the coast are masterpieces of nature’s craftsmanship—Rooster Rock, Fishing Rock, Fish-Watching Rock, Turtle Rock, and more. These change forms with the tides. The bays of Shenzhou Peninsula reflect the blue waters, with gentle, pleasant outlines, wide white-sand beaches, and the added charm of peculiar rocks, making the scenery exceptionally enchanting. The back side of the peninsula is a calm inner sea, with a winding coastline of varying widths. Lush coastal vegetation reflects in the water, creating a scene like a fairyland. In the shallow waters, sea foam washes over mottled seashells; in autumn, the fishing grounds teem with activity. Fishing boats shuttle back and forth, nets form clouds above the beach, and fishermen haul ropes ashore. When the nets are pulled in, live fish and shrimp shimmer silver in the sunlight. In the deep open sea, groups of fishing boats chase after mackerel, spanish mackerel, hairtail, squid, and more. Watching the bustling production at the fishing grounds is a thrilling delight. This picturesque paradise is currently under accelerated development. A 13-kilometer tourist highway connecting Wanning County to the peninsula broke ground in early 1994. It will become a large-scale international club integrating tourism, vacationing, recuperation, and conference facilities.
