About this place

A large, tranquil ecological island in the Yangtze, recently returned entirely to nature — original wetlands, silver grass and migratory birds have reclaimed land that was once over-developed.

Drifter says

"When the city's concrete starts to feel genuinely oppressive, come here. Rent a bike and ride through untouched wetlands and wind-swaying grass. Apart from birdsong and river wind, the island is completely silent. Facilities are minimal by design — bring enough water and food before you cross, and sort out supplies before boarding."
