The island’s working farms offer hands-on rice planting and harvesting experiences, giving city dwellers a deep connection to traditional agriculture.
Every weekend, the Hengsha Night Market comes alive with local fishermen selling fresh seafood and homemade snacks such as salt-baked crabs and rice wine pastries. Another highlight is the stargazing campfire nights, where the resort opens a dedicated dark-sky viewing area equipped with telescopes and expert commentary, perfect for witnessing the Milky Way under pristine night skies.
