Jibei Island is an important center of tourism in the Beihai Recreation System. In the old days, the residents of Jibei used to fish just offshore, and eventually created about 100 stone weirs in the intertidal zone to assist them. This led to Jibei being called the “hometown of stone weirs.” In recent years, many of the weirs, which were just south of the Jibei Visitor Center, began to collapse under the pressure of winds and waves. However, the local people couldn't bear the thought of losing all of the weirs, which also represented the memories of their ancestors. A group of experienced people set about repairing one remaining section, and composed this into weirs in the shape of two intertwined hearts. This Triple Hearts Stone Weir has now become a tourism hot spot in Jibei.
