Jinzun

 

Jinzun is a small fishing village lying to the south of Dunghe. The name of this area, literally "golden goblet", is derived from the shape of its bay, the uniquely shaped "anchor reef". Other features include a fishing harbor, a three-kilometer sandy beach, and sea cliffs, as well as inshore reefs. Wooden steps behind the vendors' area lead down to the beach, which is perfect for strolling, fishing, or simply enjoying the scenery. Unfortunately, the steep gradient of the beach precludes swimming here. Nonetheless, a pavilion atop the cliffs provides bird's eye views of the entire area, including its most distinctive feature -- a narrow-necked headland shaped like a ship's anchor.
