Why not let setting sun island go to the island?

The reason why landing on the island is not allowed is to protect the ecological environment.

According to the Notice of Beihai Municipal People's Government on Island Closure Management, Xieyang Island is a very valuable island resource, which is of great value to the development of island eco-tourism. In order to protect and restore the island ecology, it is decided to implement island closure management on Xieyang Island.

Xieyang Island is 9 nautical miles away from Hezhou Island, and it takes only 15 minutes by boat. It is under the jurisdiction of Hezhou Town, Haicheng District, Beihai City.

The middle of the island is sunken, and its surroundings are abrupt, like a blooming lotus. The coast is basically a cliff formed by volcanic rocks, and the coast of Xieyang Island is rich in coral and fish resources.
