Dajing Beach & Dajing Castle
大京沙滩·大京城堡
A long sandy beach and a Ming-dynasty anti-piracy castle on the Dongchong Peninsula. The sand is fine and the waves gentle, and the walled village is well preserved.
Dajing lies on the east side of Dongchong Peninsula in Changchun Town, Xiapu. Dajing Beach stretches about 3 km, with fine sand and a gently sloping shore. It is known as "the first beach in eastern Fujian" and is ideal for paddling and camping in summer. Next to it is Dajing Castle, built in the Hongwu era of the Ming dynasty as a garrison fortress against Japanese pirates. About 2.8 km of its walls survive, along with the gates, an ancient well and houses. Residents still live inside, and it is a nationally protected cultural relic. Entry to the beach and castle is generally free or charges a small fee. A visit takes about two hours. It can be linked with Gaoluo Beach along the Donghai No. 1 scenic road.
