We had a satisfactory Seafood Lunch, which included sea urchins.
Gold and Silver Island (金 银 岛 Kim3G`in10Tao4), i.e. Treasure Island: Locals believe that an infamous pirate hid his loot on this island. The code for location of the treasure was “High tide can’t flood it, Low tide floods 3 ft”. Scenic.
Song Well (宋 井 Son54Ze`4): Located next to the sea but provides fresh water. Nice view of the sea along the way.
General’s Building (总 兵 府 Zon42Pia`3Hu4): Not much to see. A plaque in the compound showed that Nan’ao Island was divided between Fujian and Guangdong provinces for more than 300 years until 1912 when it came under Guangdong Province.
Recruitment Tree (郑 成 功 招 兵 树 Te`0Sen10Kon3Zio3Pia`3Chiu0): Those who wanted to join the army waited under this tree, which is very large. It is in the compound of General’s Building.
Guolaoshan Scenic Spot (果 老 山 景 点 Kue42Lao20Sua`3Ken42Tiam4): The guide brought us to see a Wind Farm instead, claiming that he had not heard of 果 老 山 景 点.
Yellow Flower Mountain Park (黄 花 山 森 林 公 园 Ng10Hue3Sua`3Siam3Lim1Kon3Hng1): Went up only to the lower area where there were many stone tortoises, large and small. Saw pavilions up in the mountains.
