Golden beach

Write: Pan [2011-05-23]

The 52.1-kilometre-long Golden beach is located southwest of the Beidaihe area. Its fine sand and shallow, calm, clear water make it a great place for swimming.

West of the Golden Beach, sand dunes stretch 40 kilometers against a green belt of woodland. Some sand dunes are 30-40 meters high, which is very rare in coastal areas. Sliding down these hills is a popular activity.

Tourists can enjoy other entertainment such as shooting, horse racing and even yacht racing.

Qinhuangdao was a favored holiday spot for China's top leaders. Several villas where major Chinese political figures once lived are now open to visitors.
