Guantouling National Forest Park
冠头岭
A mountain ridge at the western tip of the Beihai peninsula, reaching into the sea. A coastal boardwalk winds along the reefs, offering views of sea-erosion landforms and sunsets over Beibu Gulf.
Guantouling lies at the southwestern tip of Beihai city. It is the highest mountain ridge on the Beihai peninsula reaching into Beibu Gulf, at about 120 meters above sea level, and is a national forest park. The coastal boardwalk, several kilometers long, runs along sea-eroded cliffs and volcanic-rock reefs. At low tide you can see sea caves, rock formations and tide pools. On the mountain there are sea-viewing platforms, lookout towers and forest trails. Watching the sunset over the western sea is a favorite leisure activity for Beihai locals. The park is free to visit, and a tour takes about 2 hours. It is about 7 km from Beihai Old Street, a 15-minute taxi ride, and can be combined with Qiaogang Street for a half-day trip.
