Attractions distribution:

Looking from across the sea, Hailu Island looks like a thin donkey lying in the sea, hence its name. Because there are many seagulls on the island, and the locals call seagulls sea cats, Hailu Island is also called Haicat Island.
According to myths and legends, Erlang Shen once walked to Chengshan to reclaim the sea. As he was walking, he suddenly heard the braying of donkeys in the East China Sea and the crow of chickens on the west coast. In surprise, the pole broke and the basket fell into the sea. In the sea, it turned into two islands. From then on, people called the east island Hailu Island and the west island Jiming Island. Between the two islands, there is a stone pillar that towers into the sky and is several feet high, which is known as the "shoulder pole stone". Although they are myths, the natural shapes of the two islands are very consistent with the myths.
