Hiking destination|The white cliffs of Donglong Island resemble snow mountains.

This time, we will introduce a very popular hiking spot that is perfect for taking photos - the White Cliffs of Donglong Island. This place is famous for its all-white stone ground, which looks like a snowy landscape at first glance. Therefore, the White Cliffs are also known as the "Cotton Castle" of the Hong Kong version of Turkey. It has attracted many people to come and take photos, but it is difficult to reach the White Cliffs as it requires climbing rocks. Therefore, it is not recommended for beginners to go there. Everyone should assess their own abilities before attempting to go. The white cliffs of Donglong Island are said to have been artificially processed, with the white parts actually made of lime powder, in order to guide ships and prevent large ships from hitting the mountain gate shallows. At first glance, it looks like a snow mountain in the polar region, and it is more like the popular Turkish tourist attraction "Cotton Castle", so it has become a very popular check-in hotspot. If you want to go to Baiya on Donglong Island, you can take a boat from Sanjia Village Pier or Xiwandao Pier to Donglongzhou Public Pier first, and then walk to the right towards Lujing Bay after arriving at Donglongzhou. After passing the radio station, it takes about 10 to 15 minutes to walk to the shore of Baiya. The whole journey is about 5.5 kilometers, but there are few trees along the way, so remember to take sun protection and heatstroke prevention measures! But please note that if you are a novice hiker, it is not recommended to take on the challenge, as the difficulty of the Donglong Island section is intermediate to advanced, and climbing rocks is required to reach the top of the white cliff. When descending the cliff, you will need to use both hands and feet, making it quite challenging. It is recommended that only those with relevant experience attempt the climb. Before you go, make sure to assess your own abilities! Hiking destination|Baiya of Donglong Island Transportation: Take a boat from Sanjia Village Pier or Xiwaihe Pier to Donglongzhou Public Pier.
