What to see & do?
Carving Sand: Baicheng Beach is also a good destination for those “artists”, who can creative various animals, castles, and cartoon figures, etc with sand. The “Sand Carving Competition” is held here every year and there will be a lot of people taking part in the competition, including even toddlers and white-haired old people. They build dreaming castles out of sand and carve beautiful fairy tales on their own.

Two Giant Reef Rocks: The two reefs, well known to locals, are on the shoreline near the Hu Li Shan Fortress. Below the reefs are huge cays, exposed at low tide and submerged at high tide. The large reefs have become a beautiful scenery often seen on Xiamen postcards. Be aware that the current is strong and there are many small reefs hiding in the water, so don’t swim here.

Cycling along the Coastal Road: The coastal road is another excellent entertainment destination. You can rent a solo bicycle, tandem or three-person bicycle to enjoy the sea breeze, appreciate the sea view and experience the spirit of teamwork. Usually, it costs CNY15/hour to rent a solo bike and CNY30/hour to rent a tandem.

Appreciating sunrise and sunset: Baicheng Beach has different charms in the morning and at night. The beach is very peaceful in the morning with few tourists. It is very romantic to enjoy the beautiful sunrise quietly. The sunset here is more breathtaking than the sunrise. Yan Wu Bridge is a good position to take photos for capturing the beautiful moment. After the sun setting, there are lots of scattered lights, toy vendors and locals singing affectionately, very lively!

Swimming: Baicheng Beach is one of the popular swimming and paddling places in Xiamen. Especially in summer from July to August, there are so many swimmers enjoy themselves in the sea. You can find a good area to swim at any time of day, as it is less influenced by the tide.
