白沙原生态茶园小镇
Baisha's main tourist attraction. Best known for its scenic tea plantation. Wooden walkways have been built to enable visitors to get around the plantation. Visitors are urged not to pick or tread on the tea leaves. Outside the plantation, you can find numerous tea shops and tea houses.
白沙陨石坑
The Baisha Meteor was discovered in 1992 and is the first meteor crater to be discovered in China. The crater is covered in thick vegetation, so it can be very difficult for casual visitors to see the contours of the crater.
白沙民族博物馆
A small museum about the history and culture of the various ethnic groups that inhabit Baisha, including the Li, the Miao and the Han.
白沙文化公园
The main venue in Baisha for festivals and public celebrations.
白沙文化体育中心
This is a major sports facility and is much larger than what one would normally expect for a place like Baisha. Some of China's national sports associations have training bases here, including the China Modern Pentathlon Association, the Chinese Mountainerring Association and the Chinese Boxing Federation.
