Sailing Boat Cape Introduction
Cape Boat is located at the southeastern tip of Green Island and is a cape surrounded by the sea on three sides. It features a coral reef terrace that rises about 30 meters above sea level, forming a relatively flat elevated platform. The cape terrace is covered with lush green grass, earning the nickname "Green Island Carpet" for the prairie at Cape Boat. From Cape Boat, looking north, one can see the coastal cliffs and magnificent rock formations around Haisan Ping in the distance; nearby, there are three circular hot spring pools and modern facilities that overlook the Chaoshang Hot Springs; to the west lies the expansive coral skirt reef of Baisha Bay. On clear days, one can see Orchid Island at the southern horizon, creating a breathtaking view that resembles a paradise on earth. Due to its prominent topography and elevated terrain, Cape Boat acts as a funnel for the northeast monsoon winds; combined with later grazing, it has formed a low prairie landscape. Every year in April and May, visitors can admire the Southern Cross constellation at Cape Boat, and during the migration of birds in spring and autumn, it becomes an excellent birdwatching spot.
