Introducing Naqin Peninsula

Naqin Peninsula, located in a dolphin sanctuary in the southern bay of Beidou Town, Taishan City, is a key stop on the Maritime Silk Road. Hailed as one of the world's premier geological and marine tourism destinations, it boasts five separate beaches, a 3.3-kilometer-long coastal boardwalk, an ultra-large outdoor pool, natural geological stone forests, an international wedding photography studio, and over 100 acres of lychee orchards. It is a popular tourist destination.

Naqin Bay is a relatively primitive seaside leisure destination that has not yet been developed on a large scale. The air is fresh and the people are simple. There are small hills covered with strange rocks all around. There are also many large rocks of various shapes on the beach. The beach is golden with black mud. The black sand is powdery and very soft and comfortable to step on. It is a great place for a stroll and a daze.
