Itinerary description

Passing an important Chinese GeoPark and Botanical Garden (admission fees). Also view some of the rock formations along the coastline at low tide. There is a narrow walking trail along the cliff edges and it is worthwhile to get off the bike and have a look here and there. The route also passes an unmodernised traditional fishing town . There appears to be a scheduled ferry service to offshore islands from there (needs verification).
