金海湾红树林生态旅游区
A coastal mangrove scenic area east of Yintan, with boardwalks running through the mangroves. Visitors can go tidal-flat foraging and learn about Danjia boat-dwelling culture, making it good for families.
The Jinhai Bay Mangrove Eco-tourism Area lies on the east coast of Yinhai District, Beihai. It is the most convenient mangrove scenic area to reach from the city. Wooden boardwalks run deep into extensive stands of mangroves such as white mangrove (Avicennia) and river mangrove (Aegiceras). At low tide, fiddler crabs and mudskippers can be seen on the tidal flats. The scenic area also has Danjia shelters, tidal-flat foraging experiences and fishing-village cultural performances. Admission is about RMB 60–80 (subject to official information), and the area is open approximately 08:00–18:00. It is about a 15-minute drive from Yintan. Note: plan tidal foraging according to the tides, and bring sun protection and spare shoes and socks.
