Nanchangtu Beach is located in the central southern bay of Shengsi Island, separated from Jihugang Beach by a hill known as Hutou Hill, and is affectionately referred to as ‘sister beaches’.
Nanchangtu Beach stretches 2,750 meters long and 200 meters wide, actually consisting of three contiguous beaches: Nanchangtu, Gaochangwan, and ShiZhu. In front of the beach, there are also small islets. The beach surface is clean and soft, with a creamy yellow color, resembling a crescent newly embedded between the blue sea and green hills.
At the junction of Nanchangtu and Gaochangwan beaches, there are arched rocks that stand like stone gates, known as the Dragon’s Eye Rocks. The beach shore is lined with dark pine trees, creating a deep and lush greenery. Especially when the sun sets, the blue sea shimmers with golden light, and the quiet sand and floating islets form the famous ‘Sunset at Changtu’ scene.
