## About Qizi Bay

A place where sea and stone meet: among the reefs by the shore lies a pebble beach several hundred square metres in size, dotted with white, emerald-green, earthy red and pale yellow stones. The hike around Qizi Bay takes about 3 hours and passes mostly landforms shaped by sea erosion and weathering, stretching along the coast. There is a saying about Qizi Bay: “See the sunrise from the Big Cape and the sunset from the Small Cape. Whether early or late, you should come to Qizi Bay and witness the joy of the sun's cycle.”
