The rocks around the island have become waves and eroded cliff caves after years of waves, with different shapes and charming scenery. If you are lucky enough to visit, be a "Penglai Xianke"! Other attractions include Punan Buddhist Temple and the former site of the Provincial Fisheries School. This is an ancient and mysterious island. As early as the Han Dynasty, Liang Wudi set up the Tun (rustic) pavilion for this purpose. In the Northern Song Dynasty, accompanied by Mrs. Mei, Lin Bu became interested in this place and built the Eight Diagrams Tai Chi Hall in Siguping. In the Ming dynasty, it was called a mirage door because of a mirage, and the whole corner of the sea was named a mirage. At this time, a story about Guanyin Dafa spread among the people, so Fu 'an Town dedicated to Guanyin rose on Hengshan Island, and the name of "Little Putuo" spread far and wide.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was forbidden to cut down trees. Up to now, the island's ancient trees are towering, and mulberry trees and hibiscus trees have been around for more than 700 years. In modern times, Chiang Kai-shek and his son lost their mainland diving in Taiwan Province Province and chose to go to sea from here. Covered with historical sites, the 12 island with a total area of only 2 square kilometers is covered with mysterious colors.

Today, Qiangjiao has built a 3,000-ton wharf, which is a natural harbor and seafood base in Ningbo, but the Tingzhai site, ancient buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties, Siguping Taoist Temple and Xiaoputuo Temple are still well preserved. When you come here, you can think about ancient love, enjoy the wonders of the sea and the sky, and taste the new taste of seafood.
