Food strategy

Seagull island is most famous for three words: fish, shrimp and crab! The food stalls built by the Sea sell the freshest seafood. The owner of the big stall is at your dining table. Put the cage (casting net). There are enough rooms. The big fishing net is put directly into the sea. You can pull up the net with your hand. If you are lucky, the harvested aquatic products will be used for immediate supply, so it depends on God's will what kind and quantity there are on that day. There are also small fishing boats shuttling on the sea, and the fish caught are sent directly to the kitchen.

Future planning

According to the relevant person in charge of the Guangzhou Municipal Planning Bureau, the government will take Haiou island as a part of Guangzhou new city and make a comprehensive planning in combination with the Asian Games to be held in 2010. It is reported that after the development and construction of Guangzhou new city in the future, Guangzhou new city will form a "city" and "countryside" landscape contrast with Haiou island. Haiou island will become the back garden of Guangzhou new city and an important leisure tourism area in the suburbs of Guangzhou metropolis.

According to the plan, the traffic of Haiou island has excellent accessibility. In the north, you can drive from Guangzhou to Panyu city bridge via Haiou bridge. In the south, there is the planned Third Ring Expressway. After the completion of the expressway, tourists from Hong Kong, Macao and Pearl River Delta cities can arrive in about an hour's drive
