## About Golden Pebble Beach

The Geological Museum within the scenic area is a must-see, often described as the irreplaceable “divine sculpture park” of the Earth. Golden Pebble Beach is one of China's first national-level tourist resorts and is especially renowned for its unusual geological formations, earning it the nickname “natural geological museum.” The Cracked Rock formed 600 million years ago and is the largest strange rock in the world.
The Golden Coast of Golden Pebble Beach is famous for its golden, fine sandy shoreline and its blue seawater, a sight rarely seen in China. Locals often recommend a swim here to experience the simple pleasure of sun and sand.

## Tips from the guidebook

- Park loop bus: ¥10 per person. It serves all the sights at Golden Pebble Beach, allows you to get on and off at any stop, and is valid all day. We recommend buying a ticket, as the scenic area is very large.
