Quanfu Island: Located on the northeastern edge of Yongle Atoll in Yongle Islands, Xisha Islands, China, 4.5 nautical miles northeast of the coral island. Covering an area of ??about 0.02 square kilometers, the entire island is covered with soft sand. The water is clear and the sand is white, transforming into a beautiful "silver beach" under the sunlight.

When traveling in Xisha, the most unforgettable thing is Quanfu Island. Quanfu Island is like a white paradise lost in the world. When the Changle Princess is anchored at the Yongle Atoll, tourists who wake up in the morning will find a bright white line next to the ship's side facing west. It is a piece of fine sand in the blue sea, and there is Quanfu Island. . When you land on Quanfu Island by speedboat, the water is sparkling and crystal clear, and the sunlight shines on the blue sea, presenting an incomparable beauty.

The surrounding waters are rich in aquatic products and have long been a fishing ground for Chinese fishermen. Administratively, it is under the jurisdiction of Yagong Village, Sansha City, Hainan Province. Fishermen rest here - a temporary stop, and simple sheds may be built for temporary residence in the future. The nearby coral islands have more residents, and the nearby Yinyu and Yagong Islands have miniature fishing villages. High on all sides and low in the middle. There is no plant growth, lack of fresh water, and the sand embankment is not wide, with the sand embankment in the north being the highest. It is less obvious in the south of the island.

The fine white sand on the island seems to have been washed by spring water and filtered through a sieve. It is so white that there is no impurity at all, and it shines dazzlingly under the sunlight. We came all the way across the sea, it seems, just for this piece of unobstructed sunshine, just for the subtle joy of rustling with every step. This sunshine, this white sand, is simply addictive.

Quanfu Island is 360 meters long from east to west and 240 meters wide from north to south. It takes more than half an hour to walk around. The location of Quanfu Island will also shift, and when the tide is low, it is difficult for even a small boat to board it, making it unsuitable for human habitation. On both sides of the island are narrow sandy beaches that extend into the sea like two horns. The sea water on both sides carries the waves and crashes away. You can imagine how spectacular this place would be if the wind and waves suddenly rose. When a typhoon passes through, Quanfu Island will be submerged by sea water.

The beach rock on this island is not strong, but it can protect and stabilize the sand embankment. It is often submerged by sea water when strong typhoons pass through.

When the speedboat rushed to the shoal of Quanfu Island and my feet stepped on the soft sand, I just felt that my whole body and mind had been melted by this white island. At a glance, the island is covered with white sandy beaches. The sea water and the sky merge into one, and it is difficult to tell where is the water and where is the sky. On the beach, you can occasionally see shells washed up by the sea.
