Zhanjiang City Naozhou Island Travel Guide

1. Introduction to Attractions

01 Turtle City

Turtle City and Nayan Beach are separated Very close, the two attractions can be visited together. Turtle City is home to nearly ten giant turtles that are hundreds of years old. It is said that turtles are spiritual and can bring good luck. I don't really believe in these things, but I went to see them out of curiosity. I was really shocked when I saw it for the first time. The turtle was bigger than a human. The second time I went to see it, I didn’t feel it at all. Tickets are 5 yuan per person, and a small pot of winter melon will be provided to feed the turtles.

02 Nayantan

When the weather is good, the sea is vast and blue. At a glance, the water and the sky meet, and the sea is vast and calm. The most special thing is the large volcanic lava reef on the shore. This is the rock left behind after the volcanic eruption hundreds of thousands of years ago. It is piled up on the seaside and remains motionless despite the waves, wind and frost. A large piece of black volcanic stone is scattered high and low, and is extremely hard. The sea water hits and beats violently, causing huge waves, repeated over and over again, year after year.

Every time I climb these rugged and solid rocks and look at the vast sea, I always think of Cao Cao’s saying: "Land the Jieshi in the east to see the sea. The waves are crashing and the waves are rising." The universe is boundless. , mountains and seas are vast, under such magnificent scenery, ambitions can't help but surge from the bottom of your heart.

03 Naozhou Lighthouse

For a tourist, this is just a simple lighthouse, nothing interesting to see. But such an ordinary-looking building has extraordinary significance and effect on Naozhou Island. According to records, this lighthouse was polished with flower stone crystal and was built in 1899. The height of the chart is 103 meters, the tower is 23 meters tall, the base of the tower is square pier, 5 meters wide, the tower body is cylindrical, and the top is 4 meters wide. The lighthouse is constructed of hard granite stones of different sizes and shapes. The granite stones are tightly interlocked with each other, and the connection is seamless and very strong. There are 83 spiral stairs from bottom to top leading to the top of the tower. It is as famous as London and the Cape of Good Hope Lighthouse, and is listed as one of the three most famous lighthouses in the world. It always shimmers with light, guiding the sails back one after another.

04 Cunliang Bay

This scenic spot is as poetic and romantic as its name: a beautiful and bright bay. The first time I was attracted to Naozhou Island was because of its scenery. My favorite is the dusk at Cunliang Bay, when the sun slowly sets on the sea, and the red sunset shines on the water, sparkling and golden.

When the sunset is completely hidden on the other side of the sea, the tide on this side gradually recedes, and the fishing boats drifting away one after another return to the port and stay, peaceful and quiet. For fishing boats, this is home, warm, safe and peaceful. Dusk rises, and the gray-blue night envelopes this calm bay. The lights of each fishing boat light up, flickering on and off, flashing alternately. They seemed to be having a conversation with each other, talking about their experiences while wandering on the sea for a day, and also seemed to be telling the ancient secrets about this sea.

This place is rich and interesting, not only the returning fishing boats, but also the silent green beach rocks, the jumping small fish and shrimp hidden under the rocks, and the conches of different shapes. Colorful starfish, strange-shaped shells, and stranded white transparent jellyfish that never return to the sea.

2. Seafood Dinner

If you are not satisfied with the seafood you catch yourself, you can also go to the pier in the morning to buy various seafood caught by fishermen. Naozhou Island Fishing Port Pier is a major landscape on the island. Many people come to Naozhou Island because of the seafood. Every morning, hundreds of fishing boats gather on the sea near the pier. Baskets of fresh fish, crabs and shrimps are continuously transported from the fishing boat warehouse to the shore. Bustling tourists and residents come and go, picking and choosing. , you can return home with a full load in the end. The price of seafood here is slightly lower but not cheap. It is fresh, natural and original. If you come to Naozhou Island, you must have a good meal to make your trip worthwhile.

Huge blue lobsters, plump green and red crabs, plump grilled oysters...

The night at Naozhou Island Pier is also a beautiful sight, with thousands of lights shining brightly. The array of fishermen's songs seems to be a "city in the sea" connected by ships.

Have a barbecue in the evening and feel the unique refreshing and slightly fishy smell of the sea breeze amidst the fireworks. This is a memory unique to Naozhou Island.
