This is a small bay with sand black from upstream mineral deposits. There is a swimming area with lifeguards where you will have to pay a parking fee and a shower fee afterwards. During the summer months, the water is warm and pleasant and you can spend hours floating on the surf waves -- with or without a swim ring. At night, the sunsets are pure red due to the nearby coal power plant. Luckily, the black smoke is blown away from the beach -- a place to visit and not to live for sure. It can be crowded, and dirty -- Beidu or Shangcun/Xiacun may be better for beach fun.
"Water Tower", 水中碉楼 Shuǐzhōng Diāolóu
Nearby Kaiping is famous for its diaolou watchtowers built in the early 20th century by overseas Chinese, but Taishan has quite a few as well. This one was flooded when a reservoir was constructed, leaving only the top few stories sticking out of the water. Nearby is a village that was spared from flooding, where the cows still graze on the sloping side of the dam.
