Emerald Isle
Emerald Island is located in the south of the Golden Coast of Changli County, Hebei Province, one of the eight most beautiful coasts in China. Experts comment that it is "the kiss mark of the desert and the sea". It is surrounded by the Bohai Sea and Qilihai on the east, north and west. It is a peninsula composed of golden fine sand and green vegetation. The sand hills on the island are undulating, steep and gentle, with smooth lines and beautiful shapes. The highest point is 44 meters. It covers an area of 7 square kilometers and is known as the "Jingdong Desert". Looking from a high place, patches of locust trees are lush and green, covering the sand hills or between the sand valleys, as charming as jade inlaid on gold. In the early 1980s, experts from the Institute of Geography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences came here for many inspections and named this beautiful place "Emerald Island". In addition, it is a paradise for birds. Almost 1/3 of the birds in the country can be found here. There are as many as 68 species of birds under national key protection. It is one of the main habitats and breeding grounds for the world's rare black-headed gulls. The density of lancelets, which is praised by animal taxonomists as a "living fossil", is as high as 1,035 per square meter near the 15-meter depth line in shallow waters. It is one of the areas with the highest distribution of lancelets in China. Emerald Island combines the scenery of the ocean desert, the Gobi oasis, endangered rare birds, and ancient species. It is a perfect harmony of nature created by heaven and earth, and is full of mysterious natural interest, which will shock you at any time. The air on the island is fresh, and the number of negative oxygen ions in the air can reach more than 20,000 per cubic centimeter, which is hundreds of times that of our ordinary home environment. On September 30, 1990, the State Council approved it as the first national marine type nature reserve. It was officially opened to tourists in 1999. Emerald Island shows the beauty of nature and the beauty of nature to tourists. Here you can listen to the breath of nature and call for the echo of nature. In order to maintain this natural harmony, the scenic spot attaches great importance to the protection of the natural landscape of the coast and the ecological environment of the sea area. There are no buildings, bricks, steel bars, or cement here. There are no red or blue walls or green tiles. The infrastructure can be moved and carried. Even the tourism projects on the island can make people feel the harmony between man and nature. The bathing beach on the island is far away from the city and the countryside, without any pollution. It is a national first-class seawater with fine sand, gentle beach, clear water, and flat tide, suitable for all ages. Sand sliding is a unique project in the scenic area. Riding a skateboard down from the top of a sand hill more than 40 meters above sea level is an extreme sport that young people like. It can be said to be "instant feeling, endless aftertaste". Sports and leisure are also one of the characteristics of Emerald Island. Wild camping, camel caravan adventure, beach volleyball football, beach karts are unique; fishing boats, motorboats, speedboats, and sea parasailing are more distinctive; it is also a training base for paragliding, windsurfing, and water kites. At the same time, relying on the unique terrain environment, the outdoor survival training carried out by Emerald Island enables trainees to immerse themselves in nature. While sublimating themselves and melting the team, they can appreciate the creation of nature and experience returning to nature. Emerald Island is the best choice for ecological sightseeing and tourism and leisure. At present, the scenic area is committed to promoting the sustainable development and utilization of tourism resources in the reserve, and has a very broad development prospect.
