Island Description: Chrysanthemum Island is the largest island in Liaodong Bay, located at the southeast of Xingcheng 10 km. The Yuan Dynasty was called "Haitian Buddha Country". Up to now, there are still many historical sites and scenic spots on the island, and it also has the only group of Bodhi trees in the north of China. The oldest one has a history of thousands of years, all of which were picked by Buddhist monks in past dynasties, which is the best evidence that Chrysanthemum Island was once a "Buddhist country in the sea and the sky". In particular, the Babao glazed well built in the Liao Dynasty is completely taken from the underground water on the island and lives in the deep sea. The water quality is sweet and amazing.
There is a "South Sea Bath" on the island. Because it is located at the back of the island, the beach is particularly gentle, the size of a standard football field, suitable for having fun on it, and the water quality is clear. The dry sea market on the island is worth visiting. The products sold are not only low in price, but also complete in variety, ranging from shrimp paste produced by fishermen to homemade grilled fish fillets. Readers are advised to buy some and take them home to taste. To board the island, you need to take a boat from the opposite pier and return to 120 yuan/person.
