Huiquan Shore and Xiaoyushan Views

Why go

This short coastal outing suits travelers who enjoy changing perspectives more than a long checklist of interiors. Start among the shoreline rocks at Lu Xun Seaside Park, then turn inland to Xiaoyushan for a view over Huiquan Bay. The return toward First Bathing Beach gives the same coast a closer scale, with time to pause above the sand. Add the Kang Youwei Residence only after checking current visiting arrangements. The hill introduces a climb, so keep the park visit unhurried and shorten the optional stop if you want more time beside the water.
