Chinese Wall
Similan Island No.4 - Koh Miang
Chinese Wall is named after the jumble of granite boulders stretching out
from the southern point of Similan Island No. 4. The boulders drop down to
27m and their crevices are home to large Giant Moray Eels and refuges for
Bumphead Unicornfish.
To the west of the wall are coral gardens rising to 12m. In the shallows
further to the west are more boulders forming crazy overhangs, swim-throughs,
tunnels and caves. If you're lucky, you'll get to see the 2m long resident
group of White Tip Sharks lurking in their hide-outs.
