To the west is Yongle Islands, which consists of eight islands including Treasure Island, Zhongjian Island and Coral Island. Xisha Islands is located in the south of the Tropic of Cancer, with abundant rainfall, and the annual variation of water temperature in the sea area near the island is small.

These superior natural conditions form the unique landscape of Xisha Islands. Boarding Yongxing Island, the largest island in Xisha Islands, is like walking into a tropical botanical garden. There are many tropical plants with lush seasons. In the sand embankment around the island, there are arbor forests composed of white frost-proof flowers. The closer to the center of the island, the higher the plants are, and the closer to the coast, the shorter the plants are. Tropical trees and shrubs such as Pittosporum and Pittosporum grow on the sand embankment outside the island. The coastal paulownia is mainly distributed on the sand embankment 50- 100 meters wide around the island, just like the windbreak forest along the island. It has good material, many branches, low height and strong wind resistance. Pittosporum is a tropical evergreen shrub on coral island, which is widely distributed and covers a large area. It grows in other parts of the island except where it can be submerged by the tide. In addition to natural forests, there are coconut trees planted by China soldiers and civilians in past dynasties, and small coconut groves have also been formed in some places.

There are more than 40 species of birds inhabiting the Xisha Islands. The common birds are boobies, black terns, crested terns and black-edged pastoral eyes, which are known as "bird paradise". In the upper layer of the whole forest and above it, thousands of seabirds hover all day, forming a unique spectacle. What is more interesting is that boobies will guide fishing boats in the sea. During the day, fishermen cast nets by boat according to the gathering and foraging direction of boobies, and at night, according to the route they flew back, they drove fishing boats from the vast sea to a nearby island to park. Fishermen call boobies "navigation birds". Xisha Islands is the main tropical fishing ground in China, with more than 400 species of coral fish and marine fish. It is an important fishing ground for tuna, mackerel, red fish, bonito, flying fish, shark and grouper.

Weizhou Island

Weizhou Island is located in the sea area 2 1 nautical mile south of Beihai, with a total area of 24.74 square kilometers.

The whole island is misty, densely covered with green trees, with pleasant climate and beautiful scenery. It can be called a paradise on earth, and Penglai Island is a beautiful port.

Weizhou Island is high in the south and low in the north, and Nanwan Port in the south is a natural harbor formed by the ancient crater. The harbor is in the shape of a round chair, surrounded by mountains in the east, north and west, surrounded by a waning moon, like a cancer lying in the sea. The dock is backed by a cliff, with a height of10-30m. The pine trees on the cliff top are tall and straight, the giant cactus hangs down the wall, all kinds of ships come in and out, people come and go, goods come and go; Birds and waterfowl, sometimes hidden and sometimes present; The swell is rising and the space is boundless; Water and the sky are one color; The weather is wonderful. Under the erosion of waves, currents and tides, fantastic landforms such as sea caves, trenches, sea niches, sea cliffs, sea pillars, sea platforms, sea windows and sea mushrooms have appeared in the bedrock of Weizhou Island.

The boulder separated from the whole rock was eroded by the tumbling sea water, forming a marine mushroom with a big head and a thin waist. There are giant marine mushrooms 3 meters high and 6 meters wide at the west port pier on the island. When several sea caves are eroded and integrated, they become trough-shaped caves recessed into the land, which are called "sea caves". The sea erosion stones on the coastal beach are shaped like anchovies, seals, manatees, whales, dolphins, sea cucumbers, turtles, seahorses, squid, abalone, groupers, blue crabs, prawns, starfish, conchs, jellyfish, sea snakes and seals, which can be called "natural aquarium garden".

Geographically, there are more than 230 islands and reefs located at 4 degrees north latitude, east longitude 1 1.30 minutes and east longitude 109.30 minutes. The total land area of these islands is less than 3 square kilometers. The main islands are Taiping Island, Nanwei Island, Zhongye Island, Zhenghe Reef, Wan 'an Beach and Zengmu shoal.

Penghu islands

Penghu County is located in the Taiwan Province Strait in the west of Taiwan Province Island, with Yunlin and Chiayi counties in the east and Xiamen in Fujian in the west. It is the only island county in Taiwan Province Province. The county consists of Penghu Island and 63 other islands around it, with an area of 126.86 square kilometers and a population of 95,000. It governs Magong City and five townships, and the county is located in Magong City.

The Penghu Islands are located in the center of the Taiwan Province Strait, just like pearls and jadeites embedded in the vast blue waves. The development of Penghu Islands was 380 years earlier than that of Taiwan Province Island. Historically, it was a stepping stone for mainland immigrants to go to Taiwan Province Island, so it was called "the key to the Taiwan Province Strait" and "the sea pier". Penghu Islands was originally a lava-basalt platform ejected by a volcano, which was divided into many small islands due to seawater erosion. The topsoil on the island is barren and consists of a large number of coral reefs and gravel. Although the climate is mild, there is little wind and rain, which is not suitable for crop growth. There are a lot of fish in the nearby waters, and the coastline of each island is tortuous, and fishing grounds can be opened everywhere. Therefore, most of the residents on the island "take the sea as their field and the boat as their home" and collect corals and pearls. Are there many sails on the coast of the island? The microwave is blue, the white clouds are empty and the sea and sky are picturesque. Whenever the sunset sinks into the sea, the twilight is boundless, the smoke is misty, and the fishing fire is gradually starting. Every moonlit night, the sky is full of color, and thousands of fishing boats light up across the sea, like a city that never sleeps. Looking out from Yu Haibin, the endless sea and the flashing fishermen floating around the island are changeable against the backdrop of the sky and moonlight? Spectacular, "fishing fire in Penghu" was listed as one of the eight scenic spots in Taiwan in Qing Dynasty.

Nanji islands

Located in the southeast sea area of Pingyang County, Zhejiang Province, with an area of 1.96 million hectares,/kloc-0 was established with the approval of Pingyang County People's Government in 1989, and/kloc-0 was approved as a national level in 1990. Its main protection objects are marine shellfish and algae and the ecological environment.

This area is located in the sea area where the warm current meets in Taiwan Province Province and the ebb and flow alternately along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and belongs to the subtropical marine monsoon climate. There are many kinds of marine life, complex flora and well-preserved natural ecosystem in this area. There are 403 species of marine shellfish identified in this area, of which 19 species is the first record in China, and there are 174 species of marine benthic algae, among which Sargassum nigricans is a new species of marine algae in the world, and the number of shellfish algae accounts for more than 29% in China. The shellfish in this sea area is not only rich in species, but also has the characteristics of temperate and tropical flora and the phenomenon of regional fracture distribution, so it can be called an important shellfish gene bank in the offshore of China.
