Qizi Bay: The Beach and Zhixuan Brook |
The start (or end) of any trip to Qizi Bay is this beautiful beach, extending as far as the eye can see. This area is completely uninhabitated. Up behind the beach is a brook known as Zhixuan Brook (治癣溪 Zhì-xuǎn-xī) or 'Tinea Healing Brook', whose only outlet to the sea is a gash across the beach. One can only wonder at the naming, which reveals a very practical view of the bounty and beauty of nature. This area was formerly off limits to visitors as a People's Liberation Army practice range.
