Located in the southeast of Pingyang County, it is 10.5 kilometers from Kunyang, the county seat of Pingyang County, and 57.5 kilometers from Wenzhou. The scenic area can be divided into five major scenic spots from south to north: Yangyu Mountain, Ersha, Xigu Granary, Xiwan and Tiaotou. Abundant bays, extensive beaches, secluded caves and densely distributed reefs are the main characteristics of Xiwan Scenic Area. More prominent are the marine erosion coastal scenery and mountain stream waterfalls. Marine erosion coastal scenery: Along the 16.5-kilometer coastline are covered with reefs and tidal flat beaches. The reefs are washed by seawater and naturally weathered. Their hierarchical textures are clear and rich in colors, and they form strangely shaped and changeable reefs. The muddy beach in Xiwan is large in area and fine and soft in texture. The beaches are close to each other. The mountainside stones are often cliffs, nearly 30 to 40 meters high. On the flat mudflat and beach, there are densely and sparsely distributed various types of rock reefs ranging in size from stalagmite-like to 30 to 40 meters. The ingenious combination of beach and reef. At low tide, in front of the beach is an endless sea flat, and behind it is a cliff. The reefs are scattered among the beach. It is a good place for primary and middle school students to visit and play. It is also a good place for tourists to watch the tide and catch small seas. Mountain stream waterfalls: On the mountains close to the sea, there are two groups of stream waterfalls. One group is the Yinquan Waterfall, 6 meters wide and with a drop of more than 100 meters. The other group is the Longtan Waterfall, which is a three-tiered waterfall with a drop of 50 meters. The water flow is continuous all year round and is accompanied by many deep pools and secluded valleys. This kind of seaside stream waterfall is also very rare in other places. Cultural landscapes: Twelve beacon towers are still well preserved in the scenic area, which is one of the places where more beacon towers have been preserved in Wenzhou area. Climbing Yangyu Mountain, you can see five beacon towers at Sisalingtou. In a Huang’s ancestral hall in Xiwan, there is a 120-jin heavy broadsword preserved. It is the weapon for Huang Chengxian, an ancestor of the Huang family and a martial arts student, to practice martial arts. Although it is rusty, it still maintains its original style. In addition, Xiwan has rich tidal flat resources. The exposed tidal flat area is nearly 80,000 mu. Traditional tidal flat operations such as dragging boards and flying on the coating are the tools for fishermen in Xiwan to work on the tidal flat. Now it has also become a tourist attraction activity full of fisherman characteristics that attracts tourists and allows them to participate.
Open all year round and open all day.
