In the scorching summer, looking for a cool and unique place? Huizhou Delta Island, the first legally owned private island in China, is definitely an excellent choice for a summer getaway.

Attraction Highlights & Advantages

Delta Island is renowned in the South China Sea for its "clear waters, unique rocks, and fine sand," earning the reputation of "China's Maldives." The island consists of two islets, connected by a sandy beach during low tide. The island is dotted with natural boulders of various shapes, resembling a park of strange rocks—some look like adorable animals, others like fallen immortals, making one marvel at the wonders of nature. The white and fine sand, along with the crystal‑clear blue sea with high visibility, makes it a natural underwater viewing area.

Speedboat Fun

Taking a speedboat from Xunliao Bay to Delta Island is an exhilarating sea journey. As the speedboat cuts through the waves, the sea breeze howls past, and splashes of spray bring a cooling sensation, instantly dispelling the summer heat. In just two to three minutes, you can reach the island, while enjoying the sparkling sea and distant island views along the way—truly thrilling.
