Beidaihe Scenic Spot
At
the eastern base of Lianfeng Mountain is a park called Lianhuashi (Lotus Stone),
which was named after several huge rocks standing upright to form a lotus
flower. The park also houses the quiet Guanyin Temple
in the north, which was beautifully restored in 1979, and the splendid
Zhujia grave in the east.
As a place for vendors, speedboats and school outings,
the Tiger Rocks are
praised as the middle beach's most famed attraction. This rock formation is
composed of several huge rocks protruding from the sea like crouching tigers.
Standing on one of these rocks, one is fascinated by the beating waves beneath
and the vast sea in the distance.
The Yinjiao Stone in the east is one of the most popular attractions in
Beidaihe. It is a separate rock with the unique shape of an eagle perched on it.
Since groups of wild doves once lived in the rock caves there, it is also known
as the "Dove Nest". From the Yinjiao Pavilion peak, visitors can enjoy the
powerful ocean.
