Located to the southeast of Zhanqiao Bridge, Xiaoqingdao Island
is a pleasant little peninsular. Viewed from the sky, the island is
shaped like an ancient lute, and hence is also called Lute
Island.
The island has a little park, a few small cafes and a white
lighthouse. It is a good area for a brief stroll, giving good views
of the Huilangge Pavilion, the rusting submarine and destroyer of
the Naval Museum, and, if the weather is right, the nearby Yellow
Island (Huangdao) nestling in mists.
The island is dotted with black pines and flowers such as
oriental cherries, green peaches, pomegranates, and roses of
Sharon.
