Nanzigou Biker Rest Stop

Originally the Nanzigou Pumping Station, which is located at the right bank of Dahan River and along the Nanzigou Cycling Route, was revamped partially into a biker’s rest stop offering cyclists a space to take a break. One can follow the signs and enter the Rest Stop from Shuangxikou Flood Prevention Pedestrian Bridge. The Rest Stop offers restroom, air pumping, and water refilling services. Entering the rest area indoor, one can also learn about the history and stories of Banqiao Nanzigou while taking a break.But! The most striking view has to be the 26m-tall and 18m-wide mural! Based on the world classic book The Little Prince, this wall painting of adorable Little Prince, fox, and rose are waiting for your arrival at planet B612!

Jinsha Bay Coastal Park

It is located at a turn on the Northern Coastal Highway, where one can easily miss out this beautiful place – the Golden Sand Bay Beach Park, which appears even more eye-catching under the sunshine. The waters from the ocean and the river meet here and one can become closer to the bay and the gravel sand at the same time. The beach features deep-water as well as shallow-water areas after the reconstruction, where younger children are able to play in the shallow-water area. Small fish and shrimps can be seen often due to the abundant ecology. Other than family fun, one can also stroll here while admiring the ocean; have a cup of coffee while enjoying the romance of the beach.
