Question

Techeng Island(特呈島)lies in the southeast of Zhanjiang. The villagers there used to make a living by fishing. But now, most of them make much money by doing business. They believe that their island is a gift from nature and they give thanks to it every day. In 2003, President Hu Jintao came to visit the island and pointed out that the government of Zhanjiang should take the island into a “civilized new eco-tourism island”(文明生態(tài)旅游新海島). Since then, the island has opened a new page in history.

Today, the island has become a popular place for tourists. It takes you about 15 minutes to get there by boat from Maxie Pier(碼頭)near Haibin Park. But it is a just 8-minute boat ride from Zhanjiang Port Pier. In the resort(度假村), you can not only enjoy the fantastic sights but also have a lot of interesting things to do, like walking on the beach, visiting the museum and enjoying the delicious seafood. The best way to relax yourself is to enjoy the hot springs(溫泉)there. Welcome to Techeng Island! It’s a place to be!
