Bijia Mountain in Jinzhou is named after its shape, which resembles a pen holder. It’s a famous Taoist mountain and sacred place, with bustling incense every day and many ancient relics. Besides, the natural scenery of Bijia Mountain is also very beautiful, and you can also go to the beach, which is loved by everyone. So, what are the must-visit attractions in Bijia Mountain in Jinzhou?
1. Attraction Recommendations
One of the wonders is the freshwater well. The well is about 4 meters deep and 1 meter in diameter. It is only 50 meters away from the coast, but the well water is sweet and refreshing, without the salty taste of seawater. This well was built in 1912 and is the closest freshwater well to the sea. Okay, follow me and keep going.
Another wonder is the Tianqiao (Sky Bridge). This 1.6-kilometer-long sand and gravel road, when the tide recedes. This small road connects the island with the shore. When the tide rises, this road is submerged in the vast Bohai Sea, disappearing without a trace. Locals call this small road Tianqiao.
The third wonder is located at the highest point of Bijia Mountain Island. Looking up, you’ll see the six-story stone building Sanqing Pavilion, which is 26.2 meters high. It’s made entirely of stone walls, stone corridors, stone walls, stone gates, even the murals are stone carvings, without any wood or iron. It is the largest stone structure in China. Imagine, more than a hundred years ago, with the technical level at that time, how difficult it was for the island craftsmen to construct it.
2. The Formation of Tianqiao
①. Because there is an island closer to the shore, the waves are split in half, and after bypassing the island, they converge again, forming sand and gravel deposits over a long time.
②. Regular tides, five hours and fifty minutes every twenty-four hours, the rise and fall of two tides, and continuous sedimentation.
③. The rocks on the island are easily eroded and weathered. Eventually, the phenomenon of disappearing at high tide and appearing at low tide was formed. Therefore, we remind everyone to check the daily tide chart before visiting Bijia Mountain and choose to visit when the tide is low. Next, we will take a boat to the island.
3. Introduction to the Scenic Area
The Bijia Mountain Scenic Area is mainly composed of Bijia Mountain Island and “Tianqiao,” including island tours, sea sightseeing, coastal entertainment, beach bathing, and holiday relaxation, covering a total area of 8 square kilometers.
