Wu Shi Tang: A Spectacular Black Pebble Beach in Zhouzhuang, Jiangsu

Wu Shi Tang, stretching approximately 500 meters in length, 50 meters in width, and standing 5 meters high, is a magnificent sight with its dark and shiny pebbles arranged in a sloped manner, forming a beach and embankment. The pebbles, ranging from small and exquisite to large and egg-shaped, display a variety of patterns and are delightful to the touch. Comparable to Nanjing’s Yuhua stones and the colorful stones of the Three Gorges on the Yangtze River, Wu Shi Tang is a unique attraction in Southeast Asia. This black pebble beach resembles a giant dragon lying quietly in the tranquil waters of Zhangzhou Bay. Visitors can enjoy the experience of being a fisherman by pulling crab cages with a small boat, challenge themselves with rope swinging, explore the water park, appreciate flowers and fruits, listen to the tidal sounds of the pebbles, indulge in foot massages, witness the wonders of marine erosion, and immerse in the rich fishing culture.
