Beihai's only forested hill park in the urban area, with its main peak about 120 m above sea level and the sea on three sides. Highlights: the circular hill trail, Pudu Temple and the sunset viewing platform; the Guantouling sunset is one of Beihai's signature sights, and the coastal reef area is a wedding-photography location. It is recorded that a cannon fort was set on the ridge in the Ming dynasty to guard the mouth of Lianzhou Bay, leaving a coastal-defense legacy. It is the best vantage point for watching the sea, listening to the waves and photographing cargo ships entering and leaving port; locals also love coming here in the evening for the sea breeze.
Getting there: Bus, Guantouling stop / self-drive
