## About Techeng Island

"Techeng" is an ancient Yue word meaning a place of harmony and good fortune. Villagers on the island have made their living from fishing for generations. The island has fresh air and a spring-like climate year-round. Its attractions include more than 1,000 mu of national key-protected mangrove forest, some nearly 500 years old; the 400-year-old Xiantai Temple (冼太庙); sites of anti-Japanese revolutionary history; and white sand beaches and red rocks.
