The Maldives has topped a list of Chinese tourists' 20 favorite island destinations.
This was announced at the 2015 International Islands Tourism Conference in East China's Zhejiang province, which ended on Wednesday.
The list was created based on a poll done by the conference's organizing committee and evaluation by an expert panel.
The poll, which began in June, drew more than 3 million responses via the committee's official website as well as some major portals and micro-blog services.
Five Chinese islands including Taiwan featured on the list besides Bali and Phuket.
China's outbound tourists made nearly 24 million trips to islands in 2014, and the number is expected to exceed 30 million this year.
The conference, which began on Oct 12 on Zhujiajian Island was organized by China's National Tourism Administration and the Zhejiang provincial government.
