This protected area covers 4.36 square kilometres, and comprises three mountains spanning two islands.

These mountains, the tallest of which is 289 metres above sea level, have been used as navigational markers by mariners since the Tang dynasty.

[1] The islands are composed of mainly rain forests and rocky terrain.

This group of two islands is home to more than one hundred individual flocks of swifts.

These swifts, the only colonies in China, nest in caves.
