Qimei - Xiaxiang Introduction
Xia Mei Xia Alley is located between Liwan Recreation Area and Dashi Scenic Area, featuring a small bay surrounded by basalt cliffs. The coastal area, shaped by sea erosion, has two openings that resemble alleys; the upper one is referred to as Ding Alley, while the southern one with a larger gap is called Xia Alley, which is a crucial path for local residents to reach the beach. Progressing along the stone steps leads directly to the seaside, which is a small bay formed by a wave-cut platform. Visitors can closely observe the sloping columnar joint cliffs and the blue sea. On both sides of Xia Alley, cliffs create a shallow flat area, which has become a popular spot for anglers. There is also a viewing pavilion installed for resting, where one can enjoy the entire coastline from Longcheng, Shishi, to Xia Alley. [Recommended stay time] 1 hour.
