## About Tangyu Island

The island has a natural crescent-shaped sheltered beach with clear water, making it a good spot for surfing. On the island stands the giant stone figure Haitan Tianshen (海坛天神), a striking and lifelike formation said to be the largest naturally weathered granite sphere-shaped rock sculpture in the world.
