When you arrive at the first beach, you can take a short rest. Next, you need to cross the reef (there is a huge rock on the way that is particularly photogenic and worth checking in), and then continue forward. The reef section and the beach are cut back and forth, so step firmly and walk slowly.

Q: How strenuous is hiking the Lion Island coastline?

A: This route is about 12 km long and takes 6-7 hours to hike. There are soft sandy beaches, messy reefs, and dense jungles. Tourists need to wear hiking shoes, long-sleeved clothes, and pay attention to sun protection.

Lion Island is actually just a massive reef, covering only two or three acres. Its shape resembles a lion lying prone on the seashore. Why is it called a male lion and not a lioness? The reef's entire body is barren, while the lion's head is lush with vegetation, mostly plants like Masson pine, which resemble the lion's mane, adding to its vividness. The coastline of Lion Island is beautiful and breathtaking, with a coastline, a large beach, and a short stretch through the mountains and forests. Because this route is rarely traveled, you'll encounter a wealth of creatures and beautiful shells along the way. Huizhou's uniquely beautiful coastline starts from Xiaogui in Daya Bay in the west, passes through Xiaoying Mountain, Aotou Jinmentang Sand Field, Shell Petrochemical Zone, Xiayong, China Resources Trail Bay, Country Garden Ten-mile Silver Beach, Yapo Cape, Renshan, Xunliao Bay, Shizi Island, Shuangyue Bay, Yanzhou Bay and Huangbu Town, and turns back. Huizhou's uniquely beautiful coastline covers the entire area, showing the beautiful and gorgeous scenery of Huizhou's coastline.
