When the tide goes out, the mudflats become a natural playground. Bring a small shovel and a bucket and go digging for crabs! Look for those clever little crabs in the mud and every catch will make you laugh. If you love nature, the wetland park is definitely not to be missed. It is the habitat of many rare birds. Walking in it is like walking into a vibrant natural museum, which can greatly relax your body and mind. ⛺We also run a vibrant campground. When night falls, invite your family and friends to the campsite for a barbecue feast. We have prepared a full range of barbecue equipment and a variety of fresh ingredients for you.

When cycling along the coastline 🚴🏻, you feel like the protagonist of a Taiwanese drama. Enjoy the river breeze, cycle around the island, and watch the Yangtze River sunset with your loved one. You can also experience the childhood fun of digging for crabs. 🏝Travel Guide: Zhangjiagang Shuangshan Island Passenger Terminal You can choose to drive 🚙 onto the island or park in the parking lot next to the terminal. There is only one ferry fee, CNY 8/person/round trip, CNY 44/car/round trip (only includes the driver's fee, other passengers need to buy tickets). The ferry runs every half hour. 😍There is a food street on the island with various restaurants similar to those on commercial streets. The specialty is fried crabs (very fresh). 🏘There are homestays on the island. I stayed at Jianglai Xiaozhu, which was nice and conveniently located on the old street, so it was easy to find food. 🛵Must-do on the island: cycling around the island, Yangtze River Wetland Park, relaxing camping Take my advice and rent an electric bike 🛵, as cycling 🚲 will be tiring. It takes 2 hours to cycle around the island, and longer if you want to dig for crabs and visit the wetland park.

🚌 Dabodun Wetland Park is a reed area on the northeast side of Shuangshan Island, with bird-watching houses and a pavilion called Tingyuxuan as viewing points. 👉 It is said that around the 1930s, a tidal wave split Shuangshan Island into two parts, with a waterway in between called Dacao, which extended to Laowei. At that time, a farmer planted eight piles of reeds on both the east and west sides of Dacao. The larger area on the west side was called Dabodun, while the smaller area on the east side was called Xiaobodun. Today, Xiaobodun has disappeared over time.
