Ports and coastal history
Zongtai Mountain has a Ming-period beacon tower that continued in use during the Qing. Its outlook takes in shipping channels, islands and port activity. The port museum covers port history, modern port knowledge, underwater archaeology and local historical remains. At Yangshashan (洋沙山), red rocks and reefs form a contrasting coastal landscape.
Forest paths inland
Jiufeng Mountain’s scenic paths pass woodland, streams, waterfalls and bamboo. Nearby walking areas include tea gardens, reservoirs and rural scenery. These wooded routes provide a different perspective on a district otherwise closely associated with ships and sea views.
