Shimei
Bay is a place with tropical sunlight, wide open sea and mysterious
and alluring primitive scenes. The bay contains a beach where six
kilometers of long white sand is smooth and soft to walk on and
the seawater is so clear you can see the bottom. A short distance
away by sea is an island, Jiajing Island, covered with lush and
vibrant plants. Under the water surrounding the island lives a rainbow
of colorful corals. The area is a paradise for scuba diving enthusiasts.
The farmhouse villages of Li People are found scattered around the
island, where they can be found still their primitive life cultivating
and fishing.
Ma'an Ling Volcanic Vent, one
of the most well-preserved extinct volcanic vents in the world,
is called the 'Natural Volcano Museum of China' by geologists. The
south and north peaks rise highly while the area between them sinks
down deeply, resulting in a shape that has given the volcanic vent
the name of Ma'an Ling (Saddle Mountain).
In addition to the fascinating sights above, the area's parks
and zoos are also worth a visit. These include the People's Park,
Jinniu (Golden Ox) Ling Park, Binhai Park and Tropical Safari
Park.
