Peach Blossom Island (in simplified Chinese 桃花岛) is located in the southern fishing port Shenjiamen on the Zhoushan Islands. The beautiful Island covers an area of 43 square kilometers. At the southern part of the Island, there is the highest peak of the island. The peaks are extending all over the mountain, so the ups and downs create a very beautiful and gigantic view. According to some legends, there was once a retried man living on the island, and he tried to make some special medicines. One night, he was depressed with his progress and he was drunk. Then, he spread some wine over the stones of the mountain and after one night, he found that some peach pictures were observed from the remains of the win. Therefore, he called the island, the Peach Blossom Island.

From the founding of the Island to now, there has been about 400 years. However, we could still see that there is a cave inside the mountain. According to some archeologists, the cave belonged to that retired man. Moreover, people found that there were a lot of other spots. Some people believed that these spots were created by the retired man to entertain himself. Anyway, these spots are really beautiful and they are also attractions of the Island.

In Peach Blossom Island, there are a lot of beautiful flower species apart from peach. There are nearly 300 species of plants. Among these species, there are about 10 species which are very rare in the country. Some of them are even listed in the conservation list of the government.
