Naqin Bay is a pristine, undeveloped seaside destination with fresh air and simple folk customs. Surrounded by rocky hills, the beach boasts numerous large, diversely shaped rocks. The sand is golden and smudged with black mud. The powdery black sand is soft and comfortable to step on, making it a perfect place for a leisurely stroll. While the water isn't as clear as that of Yangxi, it's tranquil and sparsely populated, surrounded by small, unspoiled fishing villages.

Ma Tianding is located in Naqin Bay. It is a stone mountain made up of huge and strange rocks. It is more than 250 meters above sea level. The stone landscape scattered on the mountain is unique and has various shapes. It is called the "Stone Forest by the Sea".
