Golden Beach

　　  Golden Beach is situated in the northern section of the Yellow Sea Wetland Provincial Nature Reserve, at the southern edge of the world’s rare Yellow Sea tidal flats, in the eastern part of Yinhuang Town, Qidong City. It is one of the earliest places to watch the sunrise, boasting a prominent geographical location and convenient transportation. The vast ecological tidal flats not only contain abundant natural resources but also feature an exceptionally beautiful environment. With its high-quality sandy beaches, lush aquatic vegetation, crystal-clear ponds, and flocks of seabirds, coupled with the blue sky, white clouds, and expansive sea, this area has great potential for development as a valuable beach scenic destination.

　　  Golden Beach stretches approximately 850 meters from east to west and about 1,800 meters from north to south, covering a total area of around 1.43 square kilometers. Centered around the golden beach and its ecological wetland scenery, and based on the resources of its ten-thousand-mu fishponds and iron sand flats, the site offers eco-tourism activities that allow visitors to “see the sea, listen to the sea, and taste the sea.” Tourists can ride ox carts along the beach, explore the convergence point of three bodies of water, collect shellfish (including clams), go crabbing and mud snail hunting, dig for sea cucumbers, and pick seaweed — enjoying the full experience of being close to the ocean. Visitors can also try sea fishing from the beach platforms, fly kites on the shore, or play beach volleyball, beach soccer, and drive on the sands. Alternatively, they can take advantage of the large nearby water areas by taking a tour boat or wooden boat to cruise near the sea.

　　  Located in the eastern part of Yinhuang Town, Qidong City, Golden Beach covers a planned area of more than 2,000 mu. The scenic area borders the Yellow Sea to the east and possesses rare high-quality iron sand flats along the eastern coast, along with abundant shellfish resources and picturesque scenery. To the south, it neighbors Yuantuo Cape Scenic Area, Yulong Temple, and Evergrande Venice Water City, making it a beach and wetland scenic spot with significant development potential and value. The area provides visitors with recreational activities such as beachcombing, ox-cart rides on the sea, a joyful fishing village experience, beach kite flying, exciting speedboat rides, beach motorcycling, and seafood barbecues. In its second phase, the development will include additional leisure and supporting services such as a wetland maze and seaside dining options, striving to create a new highlight for coastal tourism in Jiangsu Province. Golden Beach has now become Qidong's first 3A-level tourist attraction.
