Jin Yuan Sha Dao
Yuan Sha Dao feels like one of Lingshui’s little treasures—the kind of tiny island that surprises you with how alive and magical it is. Tucked inside the calm curve of Lianzhen Bay, it’s just a short boat ride away, or you can make the trip even more fun by paddling over on a rented paddle board. The water around the island is so clear that you can spot crabs scuttling over the sand below and bright starfish resting in the shallows, turning every step into a little discovery.
