Starry Night at Haishenping
Haishenping features a natural coral reef coast where the beautiful waves meet an abundance of special-shaped rocks as a result of coastal erosion. The scenic trail is praised as Little Great Wall for its picturesque view. Located in a less populated part of Green Island in the East, Haishenping is best for stargazing as it has minimum artificial light. If the weather permits, you can easily spot countless sparkling stars and even the milky way.
