## About Qi'ao Island

Unlike Zhuhai's other well-known islands, Qi'ao Island combines exceptional natural scenery with a long history and rich cultural heritage. On this island of less than 18 square kilometres, there are as many as 17 temples. The island also has the historic Baishi Old Street, with its grey tiles and brick walls, which seems to have slipped into a quiet, bygone era. In addition, the primitive, unadorned 'Nine Bays and Eighteen Peaks' landscape is truly enchanting!
