Live Your Best Lives
Located in Huizhou, Guangdong, the Heipaijiao coastline stretches approximately 14-15 kilometers. It's comparable to the Dongxiyong Crossing in Shenzhen. Because the rocks are black, hikers have nicknamed it "Heipaijiao."
According to local people, Hei Pai Cape has more frequent high tides. Due to the special geographical location of the sea, there are spectacular waves crashing every day. Many times you can see huge white waves splashing from the sea water hitting the rocks, and you can also see continuous layers of long waves with fish patterns.
You can't drive directly through Heipai Cape, so you can only traverse it on foot. The entire route is covered with blue sky and blue sea, and the scenery is beautiful, but you must take sun protection measures!
Huidong County has a southern subtropical monsoon climate with abundant rainfall and warm weather.
The whole journey is about 14km, and the hike takes about 4-5 hours.
