## About Dong'ao Island

Island hopping is a highlight of Zhuhai. Since ancient times, people have longed to find secluded havens far from the world, and Dong'ao Island is an excellent choice. As the boat leaves Xiangzhou Pier, the sea grows ever bluer, and the view is enchanting.
Nansha Bay, celebrated as the 'Diamond Beach,' is located here and is the most famous beach in the Wanshan Archipelago. Dong'ao also offers more water sports, such as surfing, diving and windsurfing, than most other islands.
