The 3.7-square kilometers Wailingding Island which is one of the 140 islands of Zhuhai, has become a frequently visited tourist attraction. Lingding Apex, the highest peak on the island, provides a bird's eye view of the scattered islands in the distance. Scenic spots on the island include rock carvings, temples and natural views.

Wailingding Island is the political, cultural and economic centre of Dangan Township. It has facilities for sightseeing, a holiday resort, conferences, seaside amusements and recuperation. A massive campaign was launched last year to improve landscaping, infrastructure, accommodations and to construct a township clinic at a cost of over 12 million yuan ($1.45 million). Further investments will be made in yacht, recuperation and marine fishing projects and in hotel construction. Some travel services and shipping companies in Hong Kong and Shenzhen have expressed hopes to open ferry routes to Wai Lingding Island upon completion of the renovations.
