Phoenix Island Eco-tourism Scenic Spot
Located northeast of Yangzhou, Phoenix Island is much like a piece of jade cast into Shaobo Lake.
With its tall trees offering a shady refuge from the midday sun, Phoenix Island has become a top choice for tourists looking for cooler leisure time.
Visitors can observe migratory birds nesting on the island or visit Jinwan Dam, an historic preservation of a Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) hydraulic project.
