At an altitude of 235m above sea level, it is only about 1.5km wide, but just enough to create a beautiful Chao Island like a watercolor painting. It is poetic and very lyrical. This place has an extremely diverse ecosystem, and the terrain is also very unique. The stacked black rock rapids, combined with the clear blue sea water, create an extremely eye-catching scene.
