0 Yuan to cover the entire Glass Sea! Guishan Island becomes legendary in the off-season, fewer people and beautiful scenery



🌊 "As the boat sails toward Guishan Island, the salty sea breeze carries the sound of waves to your face, and the lighthouse on the breakwater gradually comes into view—at that moment, all the imaginations about summer suddenly take shape. In August's off-season on the island, there are only a few fishing boats here and there and the occasional passing egret. The road leading to the sea is empty, and the boardwalk and reefs are all yours to enjoy. This is the freedom an island should have!"
