Baineng Beach

Baineng Beach

Baineng Beach.

During the Ming Dynasty, it was called “Bairentou Beach” (Beach of Hundred Heads). The beach features numerous peculiar rocks and rugged stones in diverse shapes. From a distance, they resemble a cluster of human heads, hence the name. This beach is located downstream of the Wenlan River, about

4 kilometers from the town. The Wenlan River flows from south to north through this beach. Due to the winding riverbed and rapid currents, when encountering the obstruction of the rocks, it forms a rushing Baineng Waterfall. The splashing white foam and thunderous roar can be heard even ten li away in the county town of Lingao, which is the origin of the “Sound of Baineng Beach.” The natural scenery here is vivid and picturesque. Over the centuries, many renowned poets and scholars often came here to compose poetry, leaving behind numerous stone inscriptions along the shore. There are as many as 18 sets of poetic stone carvings and 106 poems and lyrics. In the summer of 1962, modern poet Tian Han visited Lingao and also stopped by to “rest his horse,” composing a poem on the spot to commemorate his visit.
