Live Your Best Lives
Fishermen and the sea, living by the sea
Jiacheng Island—it sounds a bit mysterious, but it actually has another name—the Matou Gang. There's only one household on the island, the Matou Gang Island Restaurant, and the Matou Gang's leader is the owner of the island.
It's said that he stumbled upon Jiacheng Island, a deserted island brimming with tranquility, leisure, and freedom, while camping on an island in 2011. Driven by his yearning for and fascination with the sea, his love of sailing, and his passion for sailing, he personally designed and built the Matoubang Island Restaurant.
The characteristic island restaurant combines sea views, music, fine wines, seafood, sailboats and yachts, with slow and peaceful or passionate music, and carnivals on the sea, allowing friends to imagine happiness in the music.

Jiacheng Island is located in Ningbo Bay, Fenghua District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province. The waters of Ningbo Bay are cleaner than those of Xiamen and more romantic than those of Sanya, with clear, blue waters and breathtaking scenery. It is the only clear water area in the East China Sea, where mountains, sea, farmland, and a city embrace the sea, with verdant hills surrounding the sea.
The island owner has prepared three small and medium-sized yachts on Jiacheng Island. Setting out from the dock to enjoy the blue sea, just thinking about it makes you feel so happy.
On a yacht, you can enjoy the expansive view from the deck, gaze up at the sky, and watch the clouds rise. In the vast ocean, you can listen to music and play cards with a few friends, enjoying the comfort and relaxation of being in the embrace of the sea.
What goes best with a yacht? It has to be fine wine! As the sun sets, arrange a wine party on a yacht and enjoy the stunning sunset together!
