What travelers say:

The largest island in Wuhu, with residents on the island, basically living on fishing. It is said that seven people of Yuan's fallen martial arts fell to Chongdao in the 12th century when Yuanping competed for power, and their descendants were then reproduced on the island. It takes 10 minutes by boat from the port of Hoichi in Bagua City, near the river to Chongdao. Feel the houses, fishing boats, fishing gear of the fisherman's family life, walking in the mini version of Chongdao Elementary School, the island shrine, in addition to the fresh and strange, there is a little warm and broken sadness. In the Wuhu District, although Chongdao is not a must-pass stop, it will never disappoint you.

It is an island with many cats! It's very peaceful and no car is running. Tobi is flying and you can spend an elegant time. I think it's perfect when you want to calm down away from the city in a so-called port town!
