Xinkailiu Beach
新开流浴场
A lakeside beach in the middle of the Hugang Ridge, next to the floodgate linking the Greater and Lesser Xingkai Lakes, where one side looks onto the vast big lake and the other onto the calm little lake.
Xinkailiu Beach sits in the middle of the Hugang Ridge. It has a wide shoreline and fewer people than Dangbi Town, making it good for swimming and lake views. The nearby floodgate connects the Greater and Lesser Xingkai Lakes. From the gate you can see the wind-whipped big lake and the mirror-calm little lake at the same time. In the evening, fishing boats return and flocks of waterbirds gather. In September, the forest belts along the Hugang Ridge Road turn golden, making it ideal for driving and cycling. Beach facilities are seasonal, so check locally for current hours. Mosquitoes are plentiful by the lake, so bring insect repellent.
