蜈之洲岛，非常美丽的小岛
Due to its abundant and unique tropic island tourist resources, Wuzhizhou Island has been the most favored scenic spot for those medium and high-end tourists paying a visit to Hainan.
Gorgeous natural landscapes, various and characteristic supporting facilities such as villas, cabins, bars, tennis courts and seafood restaurants, and the well-developed thirty-odd maritime and beach entertaining events including diving sightseeing, semi-diving sighting, offshore fishing, water-skiing, yachting, windsurfing, motorboat, banana boat, canoe, dragging parachute, frisking boat, beach motorcycle, sea parachute jumping, beach volleyball and beach soccer, all of which may bring sight-seers and tourists with all experiences in the sense of primitivity, peace, romantism and dynamic vogue.
Lying in Haitang Bay and north of Sanya City, Wuzhizhou Island is 2.7 km away from the Houhai Village of Linwang Town in Sanya and with Nanwan Monkey Island on the north and Yalong Bay, which is known as the “No. 1 bay under the sun”, on the south. It is 30 Km away from the center of Sanya and 38 Km away from Sanya Phoenix International Airport and adjacent to Hainan east line expressway, all of which contribute to convenient and speedy traffic conditions.
The Island is in irregular shape like a butterfly covering a land area of 1.48 square kilometers. Its length along the west-east orientation is 1500 meters and its width along the north-south direction is 1100 meters. Total coastline length of Wuzhizhou Island is 5.7 Km and the southern peak has an altitude of 79.9 meters.
85 families or 2700 species aboriginal plants pervade over hills and dales in the east, west and south of the Island. Local vegetations include tall and lofty arbors and flourishing and low shrubs, both of which you may encounter anywhere. And you may even take a chance to meet with some exotic flowers and trees for instance alsophila spinulosa, one of the dominant foods for those dinosaurs in ancient times, and dracaena draco, the oldest plant remained so far around the world and thus titled as “ the king of longevity under the sun” and also botanic landscapes created by some types of parasitical plants and strangling plants prevailing in tropic zone.
Jagged rocks soar loftily into the sky and fall vertically into the sea. Stormy sea beats the shore and presents a splendid sight. Winding center wood and grassland undulate like a dancing girl in green. Calm and tranquil beach lies in the north and contains pure white and fine sands as if a jade from God.
Neighboring waters is clear and crystal with the seawater visibility of 6 meters through 27 meters. It teems with luminous whelk, sea cucumber, lobster, sierra, echinus, pomfret and colorful tropical fishes. There are well-preserved coral reefs on the seabed in southern waters. As one of few islands around the world with no reef or miscellaneous cobbles, Wuzhizhou Island is the optimal diving base in China. Gazing in the distance, you may find out mist-covered waters and that the sea melted into the sky.
