History
The Taoist priest Wu Huacun of the Qing Dynasty built a house on the island after arriving in search of a place to create the "elixir of life".
Geography
The island is 1.48 square kilometres with 5.7 kilometres of coastline, and has an irregular butterfly shape.
Flora and fauna
Over 2,700 plant varieties occur on the island, including exotic flowers and trees such as Alsophila spinulosa and Dracaena draco, thought to be the oldest plant species in the world.
The waters surrounding the island contain numerous species such as sea cucumbers, urchins, and tropical fish.
Tropical sea ranch
In May 2011, a construction project began to create a marine ecology area. The "sea ranch" will contain 18,000 cubic meters of artificial reefs over an area of approximately 66.6 hectares. This aquaculture project is funded by a private investment of about 3 million USD.
