Away from the hustle and bustle, listen to the tides of Wanshan
Taking an early morning fishing boat, I crossed the clear waters of Zhuhai and arrived at Wanshan Island. This secluded and tranquil place seems to leave the noise of time behind, welcoming me with a gentle sea breeze and endless blue skies.
After landing on the island, I walked up the winding paths surrounded by verdant hills and scattered white fishermen's cottages. Gazing into the distance, the sea and sky merge into one, with sparkling waves like scattered gold on the water's surface, and the soft whispers of waves gently lapping against the rocks in my ears. The fishing village on the island is filled with a simple and rustic atmosphere, with elderly people weaving fishing nets in front of their houses and children playing on the beach, evoking a sense of envy for their leisurely and carefree life.
In the afternoon, I sat quietly by a hidden rocky beach, watching the tides rise and fall, feeling the vastness and tranquility of nature. As dusk fell, Wanshan Island was bathed in a gentle glow of twilight, like a natural painting, making it hard to leave. Wanshan Island is a haven for the soul, away from the hustle and bustle, allowing one to appreciate the beauty of a simple life. May every return bring a sense of inner peace.

Freedom Mountains and Seas – The mountains of Wanshan Island
At noon, I set off alone on this mountain path to search for the trenches and bunkers described by local fishermen. The scorching sun blazed down on the rocks, and you could even see the heat waves rising like ripples. The wild grass shone green, and the flowers by the road bloomed brazenly, attracting bees and butterflies. The scent of the grass and trees being roasted became increasingly intense.
Nearing the mid-mountain area, the trees also seemed to grow taller, leaning towards the slope. I was still exposed to the relentless sun, and in the following trek, and for the next few days, I paid for my mistakes with nature's punishment: firstly, when I returned from swimming in the sea, I wore only a vest and sports shorts for the sake of coolness, resulting in my legs being scratched by the grass on the narrow mountain path. Even stopping to wipe sweat could lead to mosquito attacks. Secondly, I forgot that the sunscreen I had applied before had been washed off during the shower. This oversight was reminded by the merciless sun halfway up the mountain, and only when my shoulders began to burn did I realize there was no escape, only a narrow mountain path winding ahead.
Sweat had already seeped from the edge of my hat, and when I took it off to wipe my forehead, my hair steamed in the sunlight, feeling almost ablaze. Looking at the path winding through the overgrown wild grass, I regretted it. I didn't know how much longer the road ahead was, and the way back was also very distant. I could only move forward. The sweat had completely soaked my clothes, running down my calves, intensifying the pain from the grass cuts.
Faintly, I heard the sound of a mountain spring ahead. Turning a corner, a gushing spring flowed out from between huge rocks. Though the outlet was small, the water fanned out, and the long grass was washed into a comb, gently enjoying the coolness of the mountain spring under the brilliant sun, surrounded by a halo of green light.
Finally, I saw the first tunnel entrance, a huge concrete bunker under the mountain rock, with its concrete air vent covers teetering on the brink of collapse. The entrance was tightly sealed by a thick concrete door, marking the era that has since slept in darkness. The steel wrench was rusted, and the nine big characters on the side wall were covered with cement, but those who lived through that era will not forget: 'Dig deep pits, store vast amounts of grain, and never seek hegemony.' The national defense strategy facilities of that era have made people in today's cities aware of the web-like air-raid shelters, which in childhood memories of dark and mysterious places have mostly turned into shopping centers with dazzling neon lights.
Not long after passing three tunnels, a huge figure stood on a massive stone wall, a dense and thick concrete wall with a heavy semicircular eave pressing above the lookout holes. The winding stone steps had been covered by lush weeds, and I could only look up at the narrow, mysterious darkness covered by climbing plants.
The best spot on the mountaintop to watch the sunrise was also a martial law area, so when I saw what seemed to be a concrete driveway ahead from afar, I had already decided to descend via the small path. Just as I was about to turn around, I unexpectedly discovered a stone monument partially hidden by intertwined mountain vines and grass. Approaching and pulling away the vines, I could see the engraved characters 'Yin Yang Spring' in relief script. Due to the unbearable burning pain in my arms and legs, I did not venture further. Beside the monument, there were traces of water flow, but the spring's source was not seen.

Freedom Seascape - The ocean around Wanshan Island
🛥 Luxury yachts depart from Xiangzhou Wharf in Zhuhai three times a day, with a ticket price of 135 yuan (slightly lower on the platform), and it takes about an hour and a half to reach the seaport of Wanshan Island
As the cruise ship slowly leaves the port, the sea is shrouded in mist.
The tide is rising.
My lens cap lies submerged at the water's edge.
To the left of the ship's side, a hovercraft shuttling back and forth on the Jin Guang Avenue looks like an armored vehicle from outer space.
Many of the people heading to Wanshan Island are professional fishing enthusiasts, and among our companions was such a dedicated individual. Not only was his equipment top-notch, but he also fished with great dedication. During our time swimming in the sea and climbing the mountains to enjoy the scenery, this gentleman braved the scorching heat and fierce sun, sitting steadily on the rocky shore in the wild sea breeze to fish. The delicious fish soup we had at every meal was all thanks to his efforts.
Stepping onto the deck, you can see the beautiful scenery during the voyage: the swift boat paddles plow white waves on the fertile sea, the distant mountains are hazy, the strong wind is vast, blowing the girls' long hair and dresses like waves. The sky is traceless, but airplanes leave long trails behind.
Inside the sheltered harbor of Wanshan Island, there are many floating rafts for aquaculture. They cultivate delicacies like abalone, sea cucumber, and prawns.
On the way to the Floating Stone Beach, to the left of the main entrance, there are soldiers on guard, and you need a local to lead the way. Along the way, photography is prohibited, but in reality, it's just a vegetable garden and melon shed built by the military. It's suggested to sell tickets directly. It's also said that you can reach the destination by taking the concrete road on the right and climbing over the small hilltop. Worth a try next time.
The sea is as blue as satin, and the hundreds of meters of shoreline are covered with pebbles, smooth as pearls, shining brightly under the slanting sun.
On this isolated island surrounded by the sea, motorcycles are a beautiful sight.
As the sun is about to set, the mountains appear more majestic. The villa we stayed in was transformed from an old military camp, and although it has been refurbished, its texture is still tough and strong.
In the evening, a pink cargo ship sailing on the blue sea looks quite enchanting, giving off the feeling of a mirage in the mist.
At night, the fishing port is hazy with lights.
There are no hotels, no bars, no KTVs on the streets here.
There are geckos, mosquitoes, and swarms of tiny flying insects on the beds here.
Here, people eat under the trees.
Here, people drink on the rooftops.
🥳Recommendation: In your free time, you can ride a bike around the sea, it seems to be twenty yuan per hour.
You must not miss the three treasures of Wanshan: Stone Jiugong, General's Hat, and Dog's Paw Snail

An island is a luxury resort hotel in Zhuhai
Growing on the island is a pristine secret realm. The hotel is built on the mountain, facing the sea, hidden among the mountains and forests, as if it 'grew' on the mountain. The full-screen sense of a vacation in a paradise is so comfortable.

The island is in the mountains, one island and one world. At the press conference, the Wanshan Islands tourism propaganda film was broadcasted, and the guests present were strongly absorbed. Wanshan Islands' unique and rich marine island tourism resources are fascinating. The stunning natural and magnificent landscape is of great tourism value. The blue sky, blue sea, silver sand, green island and seafood are the temptation to refuse the beauty of the secret.
