养马岛
An outlying island off the coast of Muping District, connected by a long bridge. Although the name means Horse-breeding Island in Chinese, it is a great place for beachcombing. Features horse parks, beaches, sea cliffs, theme coffee shops, defunct (and remains of) resort hotels and a fishing village. In "hot" seasons (usually Jun-Aug), the bridge may be closed to automobiles between 08:00-16:00, but still opens to tourists on bicycles or foot. This island is hilly and relatively large thus walking is not recommended, especially in the hot summer. Thankfully, many stores on both sides of the bridge offers rent bicycles, although at higher prices.The island is connected to the mainland by a bridge. Bicycles can be rented near the bridge.
