Tèchéng Island

　　Tèchéng Island is situated in the Zhanjiang Harbor, southeast of Xiashan District, Zhanjiang City, approximately 2.8 nautical miles from downtown. A water bus ride takes just around seven minutes. The island covers a land area of 3.6 square kilometers, with a permanent population of over 4,500. Located in a tropical to subtropical climate zone, the island enjoys an average annual temperature of 21–22°C year-round, with spring-like weather all four seasons. The air quality is excellent, and the seawater is crystal clear. The island boasts nearly 100 towering ancient banyan trees and scattered tropical shrubs, along with three kilometers of beaches and nearly 1,000 acres of nationally protected natural mangrove forests along the coast. The natural conditions and geographical location are outstanding.

　　Tèchéng Island is also known as the “Red Island” — red soil, red peculiar rocks, mangroves, red azaleas, and red-brick paths… It resembles a red gem embedded in a blue harbor, bathed in the warmth of the Party’s care and shining with dazzling brilliance. The terrain on the island is flat, the air is fresh, and the scenery is beautiful. With a spring-like climate all year round, the island features over 1,000 acres of nationally protected mangrove forests with trees nearly 500 years old, a 400-year-old Xītài Temple, and historical sites from the anti-Japanese revolutionary period. White sandy beaches, red peculiar rocks (volcanic rocks with high scientific and aesthetic value), the sea, seagulls, fishing boats, and seafood gatherers together create a colorful painting-like scene that captivates and enchants visitors.
