Zhenhai Cape
镇海角
A headland in Gangwei Town, Longhai, with volcanic rock reefs and wave-cut landforms. It is a popular spot in Zhangzhou for watching sunrise over the sea.
Zhenhai Cape lies at the southeast tip of Gangwei Town in Longhai. It belongs to the same coastal volcanic landscape as Volcano Island and Nantaiwu. The shoreline is made up of black basalt reefs, sea cliffs and small sandy beaches. Early in the morning, you can watch the sun rise over the sea. Nearby fishing villages such as Zhuoqi and Houshi have seafood stalls. There is no single ticketed entrance, the reefs are slippery, and you should stay away from the cliff edges when the tide is high or the wind is strong. Driving from downtown Zhangzhou takes about 1 hour, and from Xiamen via Haicang about 50 minutes.
