A mangrove wetland eco-zone on the city's outskirts, a 4A-level scenic area. Highlights: Tanka fishermen's tide-flat foraging shows, egrets viewed from the boardwalk, and the low-tide experience of digging sandworms and collecting shells. The Tanka (Danjia) people have lived on boats and made their living from the sea for generations, and the scenic area is a living showcase of Tanka culture. Mangroves are hailed as 'guardians of the coast'; the tide-flat foraging activities are most popular with families and Southeast Asian visitors, making this the second stop after Silver Beach.

Getting there: Bus / self-drive (about 15 minutes east of Silver Beach)
