If you follow the path from Dongri to the southern side at the distance of 2km, you can meet big river with a lot of pebble stones, which looks like sea. The summer visitors walk on the pebble stones with the naked feet from place to place and enjoy swimming. As an old proverb says people who walks on this pebble stones will take at least ten years off their ages. Seeing the horizon, you can feel good with the sound of the sew mew. And red glow dye the sky. The visitors can see sunrise and sunset and they pledge they will visit here next again.
The white sand(3.5 kilometers long and 100 meters wide) is very large in scale. You can see the strange rocks and bizarre stones to the south of white sand, and it is a wonderful sight. The temperature of the seawater is appropriate for the swimmer and they have a good time.
