Jiangmen Naqin Peninsula｜Secret Realm Hidden in the Rocky Coastline, Boardwalk Winding into a Painting

When the car turned into Beidou Town, Taishan, and a rugged rocky coastline came into view, I knew this place, called the "Little Santorini of Guangdong," held a unique mountain and sea secret. There are no soft sandy beaches here, but the billions of years sculpted strange rocks and winding coastal boardwalks outline a magnificent and romantic picture. 🌊 >> Coastal Boardwalk, a Gallery Strolling Between Mountains and Sea Stepping onto the 3-kilometer-long seaside boardwalk, every step is a visual feast. The boardwalk undulates along the rugged coastline, with the blue South China Sea crashing waves on the left and a variety of volcanic rock formations on the right. We walked and paused, daydreaming on the viewing platforms, watching the waves wash white foam through the rock crevices, the sea breeze carrying a salty scent instantly blowing away all worries. This boardwalk itself is a piece of earth art. >> Strange Rock Secret Realm, Exploring Nature’s Sculpture Exhibition The most amazing thing about Naqin Peninsula is these natural stone landscapes! 🪨 The "Buddha’s Footprint Stone" is lifelike, the "Spiritual Rabbit Gazing at the Moon" vivid, and the "Sea-Shaking Divine Lion" majestic. Like treasure hunters, we followed the signs to find each wonder, marveling at nature’s craftsmanship. This is also a famous wedding photography base, where pure white Greek-style buildings dot the blue sea, sky, and black reefs, making every snapshot a masterpiece. >> Geological Mystery, Listening to Billions of Years of Stories Standing before these strange rocks, you can almost hear the pulse of the earth. They were formed from ancient volcanic rocks shaped by long geological movements and sea erosion. At the geological museum (if open), you can learn more about this story spanning billions of years, making the trip not just about sightseeing but also gaining intellectual enrichment. Practical Tips 💡 · Travel Route: · It’s recommended to start from the scenic area entrance and tour clockwise along the coastal boardwalk, checking in at major rock formations and photo spots, ending at the swimming area. The whole walk with photos takes about 3-4 hours. · Be sure to reach the mountaintop viewing platform at the end of the boardwalk for the widest view. · Must-Do Experiences: · Walk the entire coastal boardwalk. · Find and photograph the "Top Ten Strange Rocks." · Take "pretend you’re in Greece" beautiful photos in front of the blue and white buildings at the wedding photography base. · If open, play in the water in designated safe areas. · Transportation Guide: · Driving is most convenient; navigate to "Naqin Peninsula Geological Marine Park." It’s about a 3-hour drive from Guangzhou. · The scenic area parking lot is large. · Accommodation and Dining Suggestions: · There are hotels inside the scenic area; staying there waives the entrance fee and is convenient for watching sunrise and sunset. · You can also choose homestays or restaurants in Beidou Town to taste the freshest Taishan oysters, eel rice, and other authentic fisherman's flavors. · Thoughtful Tips: · Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sunscreen! The seaside boardwalk has little shade, so be sure to apply strong sun protection. · Wear a pair of non-slip, comfortable sports shoes; some parts of the boardwalk are sloped and may be slippery. · When the waves are strong, pay attention to safety and do not climb dangerous reefs. · For fewer crowds and better light, early morning or evening is the best time to visit and take photos. 💙 Travel Reflection: On a day at Naqin Peninsula, I felt a rugged yet romantic ocean beauty. It’s not as gentle as ordinary seaside resorts but shows nature’s primal creativity through the resilience of strange rocks and the power of waves. Walking on the boardwalk suspended over the sea, as the sunset dyes the rocks golden, this secret realm uniquely interprets another possibility of the Lingnan coastline.
