Nansha starts from the Tianhou Palace in the north and to the Mu Ridge in the south with a length of more than 1000 meters and a width of about 250 meters. The beach is as even as a mirror and extensive like golden sand bestrewing the land. The sand in Nansha beach feels soft and comfortable.

Lovers Island is originally called Houmen (Back Door) Mountain. It is located on the east-central side of Zhujiajian Island. The bank is about one hundred meters away from the capes of Nansha and Dongsha.. The island is long, extending more than one thousand meters from the northwest to the southeast. Seen from a high place, it seems like a V-shaped peninsula. In 1997, there was a 122-meter suspension bridge built between Lovers Island and Zhujiajian. Thereafter, tourists can just walk on the suspension bridge, under which there are rolling tidal currents.
