In autumn, there is the International Kite Festival and the Sanzhi Water Bamboo Festival, while winter offers visitors the hot spring season. The scenery is beautiful all year round.

When visitors come to a coastal area with reef geology on a rainy day, they should watch out for the moss on the reef which is very slippery and where possible wear non-slip shoes and walk carefully. Walking on green reefs is strictly forbidden. The wave conditions and tides are unpredictable so pay attention to the surrounding environment at all times. When the weather is bad, please do not remain in the area to avoid danger.
