Yangtianwan, standing at nearly 380 meters above sea level, is nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains, resembling a giant bowl embedded in the forest.

Yunding Wencha is situated at an altitude of 385 meters. Originally the Jinshan tea plantation, this historic tea garden sprawls along the mountain, forming a verdant tapestry that changes with the seasons.

Zhishan Pavilion, which has stood for over 200 years, provides a convenient spot to relax for local villagers and island residents, exuding a unique historical charm.
