The Jinshitan part of Dalian Coastal National Geopark in Dalian, Northeast China's Liaoning province, has become a popular attraction as more people are increasingly becoming fond of outdoor recreation.
Located in Jinshitan National Tourist Resort, also known as Golden Pebble Beach, it boasts picturesque landscapes.
Iris Neubert loves the coastal walk. Sometimes, the German woman who now lives in Jinshitan invites her friends to take a walk there.
"It's so natural. Sounds like I'm living where others go to for holidays," she said.
