Bijia Mountain
笔架山
A tombolo island in the sea. At low tide a cobblestone 'sky bridge' about 1.6 km long emerges, so you can wade across to the island, which also has the Sanqing Pavilion and other buildings.
Bijia Mountain lies in Jinzhou Bay, about 30 km southwest of Jinzhou's urban area, and about 1,620 meters offshore. It is named for its shape, which resembles a brush rest (bijia). At low tide the sea recedes to either side and reveals a natural cobblestone causeway called the 'sky bridge,' which visitors can walk across to reach the island. At high tide the causeway gradually submerges, and visitors can take a boat there and back instead. The island has Taoist buildings such as the Sanqing Pavilion and the Lüzu Pavilion, built into the hillside. From the summit you can look out over the sea. Admission is about CNY 70, students pay half price. The tide times change every day, and the scenic area posts the time windows for walking the sky bridge, so be sure to return on time and do not linger on the rocks. It is a 4A-rated scenic area, and it is very crowded in summer.
