Location & Access

Xiaodeng Leisure Fishing Village sits on Xiaodeng Island, part of the famous “Heroic Three Islands” near Xiamen. Surrounded by crystal-clear waters and rugged reefs, it’s a hidden gem between Jinjiang River (to the east) and Daden Island (to the west). To the south, you’ll spot Kinmen Island (Taiwan), while Nan’an City lies to the north. Getting here is easy: take a ferry from Xiamen Wharf (40 minutes) or a fast boat from Daden Island (15 minutes).

Natural Scenery

This island feels like nature’s playground. Imagine turquoise waters lapping against granite reefs, where seagulls wheel overhead. White egrets dance above the waves, and if you’re lucky, you’ll spot dolphins leaping in the surf. The beach is pristine—soft sand meets tide pools teeming with life. At sunset, the sky turns pink, reflecting off the sea cliffs that frame the horizon.

Cultural Highlights

Xiaodeng isn’t just pretty—it’s steeped in history.
