In the 24th year of Guangxu (1899), the Qing government set up a customs office in Sanmen Island and handed over all Sanmen Island to the British. 1942, the Japanese army occupied Sanmen Island, assembled two divisions with 4,500 men in Daya Bay, then attacked Aotou and Huizhou, went straight to Guangzhou and began to invade South China.

After liberation, Sanmen Island became a military restricted area because of its important maritime position, and various offensives and fortifications were built one after another until the troops retreated before the return of Hong Kong.

A musical journey on the island

Sanmen Island was once called "the Maldives of Guangdong". Maybe the name is a little exaggerated. After all, for the Maldives, where the water is clear and the sand is young, the "clear water" of Sanmen Island is somewhat similar.

As an island far from the mainland, Sanmen Island is also a tree-lined island, stepping on Shanghai Island and feeling a quiet ecological park. But around the island, there are countless small harbors with different landscapes, which are places for swimming by the sea. More uniquely, there is a large freshwater lake called Xiang Si Lake, which is a poetic place.

The magnificent giant volcanic wall makes people admire the ingenuity of nature. There are also sea cliffs and caves formed by waves over hundreds of millions of years, which are rare in other places.

Climb the main peak of the island

Sanmen Island has five peaks above 200 meters above sea level, and the main peak "vows of eternal love" is 298 meters above sea level, which is the highest scenic spot in Daya Bay. Visitors who are familiar with Sanmen Island also like to climb the main peak of the island at an altitude of 298 meters-the "vows of eternal love" peak. Here, the mountains and seas are beautiful, the eagles soar, the sea and the sky are the same, and the Daya Bay has a panoramic view.

In addition, if you rent an off-road vehicle to play on the island, you can also find the ancient battery, military tunnels and the old customs sites that the Qing government once opened.

Animals and plants:

Sanmen Island is a huge paradise for marine animals and plants. More than 485 species of flowers and trees grow freely, and rare mangroves are lush. On the island, more than 100 kinds of birds can be seen everywhere, and acacia trees in Taiwan Province can also be seen everywhere. Here, it is natural sea oxygen!

Freshwater resources:

Different from the surrounding islands, Sanmen Island is extremely rich in fresh water resources, and the mineral-rich groundwater and sweet mountain spring water bring health and convenience to the life of Sanmen Island vacationers.

Marine life:

Sanmen Island has a good ecological environment, with more than 400 species of deep-sea fish, rich in Sanmen lobster, sea urchin, abalone, seahorse and mackerel, as well as colorful tropical coral fish, clown fish and starfish. As a well-known diving base in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, all kinds of snorkeling and diving activities can be carried out here in four seasons.

Entertainment on the island:

Sanmen Island is a forest island with the richest animal and plant resources in Daya Bay. From May to July every year, acacia trees all over the island are full of golden acacia flowers, which is even more beautiful.

When you set foot on Shanghai Island, you will suddenly feel that it is an isolated paradise. What's more unique is that there is also a large freshwater lake called Xiang Si Lake, and there is a Xiang Si bar by the lake, which is one of the picturesque scenic spots on the island.

Visitors to Sanmen Island for the first time will definitely go swimming, swimming and watching the sea at Moon Bay Beach. With the ebb and flow of the tide, small crabs, sea urchins and wild sea cucumbers may be found under the colorful stones at the seaside.

Sanmen Island is a volcanic island formed by volcanic eruption10.40 billion years ago. The colorful stone beach on the island is covered with colorful and strange volcanic rocks. Chua's beach is located on the other side of the island, far from the crowded beach, so it is relatively quiet. There are big stones by the sea, and the colors of the stones are quite diverse. But be careful when swimming here, because the depth of the sea is even more unpredictable.

Around the island:

The road on Sanmen Island twists and turns, with a total length of tens of kilometers. If you want to go around the island, you can go through the formalities at the front desk of the island resort (the first floor of the hotel in Building C of the resort), rent an off-road vehicle (each car can take 4 people) or a yacht, and travel around the island by land and water.

Transportation:

Starting from Guangzhou: It is more convenient to drive to Sanmen Island. Self-driving: Take Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway, Jihe Expressway, turn to Pingshan, Longgang, turn to Yantian Port, take the exit of Kwai Chung of Yanba Expressway, go straight to Dapeng, South Australia, and arrive at the dock east or west. You can take a speedboat to Sanmen Island at the pier.

If you don't drive by car, you need to take a bus to Shenzhen and transfer to Longgang, then to Dapeng, where you can transfer to the bus at the beach or pier on the other side of Sanmen Island.

Accommodation:

There are resorts on the island that can provide accommodation, and the construction standard is five stars.

Travel tips:

1, itinerary design: two days is plenty of time. On the first day, I drove to Tung Chung, Xichong or Yangmeikang, and ate seafood at the beach food stall at the pier for lunch. Then take a speedboat to the island (there are tickets to Sanmen Island in Tung Chung Beach, and Xichong and Yangmeikang can rent fishing boats to the island). Stay at the resort on the island. Return the next day.

2. If you don't live on the island, you can live in a local cabin by the sea on the first night, or you can live in Tung Chung or Xichong before entering the island. There are also beaches and the sea, there are many hotels to choose from, and there are many private family hotels rented by local people, which are also unique. There are many choices. Catch small crabs at the seaside at night. Take a speedboat to the island early the next morning and return in the afternoon, but time is tight.

3. It is best to disembark at the Beidou Pier of Sanmen Island, which is very close to the resort (the resort is in the hinterland of the island, walking from the pier 15 minutes).

It is difficult to transport materials on the island. I suggest you make a reservation in advance before you go to play, whether you choose to eat in a resort or a food stall after you go to the island, otherwise you may not be able to eat what you want without making a reservation.

5. As the rooms in the resort are usually full on weekends, it is suggested to call the resort as far as possible to reserve rooms in advance, and guests who have reserved rooms can also enjoy the free shuttle service of the resort battery car to and from the island.
