Xiaoyangkou Coastal Resort
小洋口
A seaside resort in Rudong County on the Yellow Sea coast, with vast tidal flats for clam digging, a coastal hot spring, and wind farm scenery.
Xiaoyangkou Coastal Resort lies in Rudong County and faces the Yellow Sea. It has extensive muddy tidal flats and wetlands and is a showcase of Nantong's reputation as the 'hometown of the Asian hard clam.' When the tide goes out, visitors can join in clam digging and catch small crabs. The offshore wind farm is a popular spot for photographers, and the resort also has a geothermal hot spring hotel. Check the tide tables and follow local guides when clam digging, and do not wander too far out, as the tide can come in quickly. It is about 70 km from downtown Nantong, roughly 1 hour and 10 minutes by car.
