When the red sun is rising, the sea of Jinxiang becomes a magnificent picture with golden waves, dotted fishing sails, flocks of seagulls, soft sand, harmoniously dissolved in this picture, with a strong poetic and picturesque. This may be the reason why Jinxiang Beach was named. On the 18-kilometer-long "S"-shaped coastline, the headland and the bay are staggered and the scenery is pleasant. The headland includes Jinxiang Cape and Guanyin Ridge. Here, the tide collides with the reef, the shadows of the trees are swirling, and the scenery is beautiful.

Sea Castle

5

4.9/5

9 reviews

Sea Castle is located on the coast of Shanwei and is a coastal photo spot transformed from an abandoned scientific research building. It was formerly a wave energy power generation test station built in the last century, which was left idle for a long time after its research mission ended, and was once dubbed an unfinished building by netizens. After structural reinforcement and facility updates, this old seaside building, along with the "Castle Cafe" inside, has been given a new lease on life, becoming a popular landmark for coastal tourism in Shanwei. The Sea Castle stands by the sea, surrounded by headlands and reefs. Waves crash against the rocks one after another, creating an impressive sight. The mottled walls and rusty iron windows retain a sense of history, creating a striking contrast with the deep blue sea, making it a great spot for portraits and photoshoots. It is not only a cultural tourism icon for Shanwei, but also an ideal destination for visitors to experience coastal charm and historical flavor.

Kulangsu is located in the southwest corner of Xiamen, Fujian Province, facing Xiamen Island across the Lujiang Strait.

In 2017, it was inscribed on the World Cultural Heritage List as "Kulangsu, a Historic International Settlement." The island is a bedrock island with a winding coastline and many natural harbors and reefs; its terrain is mainly hilly, with the highest peak, Sunlight Rock, at 92.7 m above sea level. It has a subtropical maritime monsoon climate, warm and humid, with spring-like weather all year round, making it suitable for visiting throughout the year. Motor vehicles are prohibited on the island, so there is no noise of traffic—only birdsong, flowers, waves, and piano music. Hundreds of historic buildings from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century still stand, spanning Gothic, Victorian, Baroque, Nanyang arcade, and traditional Minnan courtyard styles, and are acclaimed as a "World Architecture Expo" and a living specimen of a modern East Asian international community. Representative buildings include the Bagua Mansion (Organ Museum), Shuzhuang Garden, Haoyue Garden, the former site of the HSBC Mansion, Trinity Church, and the former residence of Lin Yutang. The island has a profound musical cultural heritage. Since the late Qing Dynasty, Western music was introduced through missionary schools. The density of pianos on the island has long ranked among the highest in the country, and musical masters such as Yin Chengzong and Xu Feiping were born here, earning it the reputation of "Island of Pianos" and "Island of Music." The Piano Museum houses century-old antique pianos, and the Organ Museum holds a giant pipe organ. Piano music is often heard among the streets and alleys, and the tradition of family concerts continues to this day. The core attractions on the island each have their own distinctive features. Sunlight Rock is the highest point on the island; from the summit, visitors can enjoy a 360° panoramic view of the entire island, Xiamen main island, and the Taiwan Strait, and there is a saying that "you haven't truly visited Xiamen until you've climbed Sunlight Rock." Shuzhuang Garden was the private residence of the wealthy Taiwanese merchant Lin Erjia, designed to "hide the sea within the garden and embrace the mountains as scenery," blending Jiangnan garden aesthetics with mountain and sea views; the garden's Piano Museum houses nearly a hundred antique pianos. Haoyue Garden features a 15.7 m tall granite statue of Zheng Chenggong facing the sea, built to commemorate the national hero who recovered Taiwan. Bagua Tower is a landmark building on the island, blending Chinese and Western architectural aesthetics, and houses hundreds of antique organs. Yuyuan Garden, Gulang Stone, Yanwei Mountain Ecological Park, and other cultural and natural attractions are scattered across the island, linking together a century of charm and the poetry of mountains and sea. Tour tips Island access: You need to take a ferry from the ferry terminal on Xiamen Island to get there. There is no general admission ticket; core attractions require separate tickets or a combo ticket. Mode of travel: Walking tours across the island; paid sightseeing electric carts are available; motor vehicles are prohibited. Recommended season: suitable all year round; spring and fall (April-May, October-November) offer comfortable weather and blooming bougainvillea, making the scenery especially beautiful.
