Introducing Huinu Bay

Huinu Bay is located in Hui'an County, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, east of Jingfeng Town. It stretches over 8 kilometers from the Shangting Beach in Jingfengdunbei Village to the Qianshen Lake Beach in Hujie Village. A broad expanse of golden sand, azure sea, and deep green casuarina trees define this beautiful Jingfeng Huinu Bay, a rare and beautiful stretch of coastline in Hui'an.

Jingfeng Huinu Bay is adjacent to Kengyuanyan on the left, Xiaoqiluoshan Front Sea on the right, and the East China Sea in the front. Behind it is the Jingfeng Huinu Bay Forest Farm, covered in deep green casuarinas, and in the distance is the Xiaoqi Windmill.

This stretch of coastline is home to the largest concentration of Hui'an women in Jingfeng Town. Their hardworking, frugal, daring, hardworking, and virtuous spirit is worthy of emulation and admiration. Since Hui'an boasts the Hui'an Reservoir (Luojiang River) and Hui'an Square (Huian County), and Jingfeng boasts the largest population of Hui'an women among the four towns (the others are Xiaoqi, Chongwu, and Shanxia), the name Hui'an Bay was chosen to promote and emulate the Hui'an spirit, encouraging future generations to better emulate it and preserve Hui'an women's folk culture.
