A quartz-sand beach stretching about 24 km, famed for its long flat shore, fine white sand, clean warm water and soft waves—hailed as 'the finest beach under heaven.' The Silver Beach Park and Beach Park sections are well equipped for wave-wading and sunset watching; the eastern and western stretches are quieter, good for strolling and cycling. Approved in 1992 among China's first national tourist resorts, it rose to fame after the first Beihai International Pearl Festival. The sand glitters silver in sunlight, hence the name—Beihai's gateway beach resort on the Beibu Gulf, popular with Southeast Asian and Russian winter visitors.
Getting there: Bus, Yintan (Silver Beach) stop / by taxi
