Pigeon Nest Park, also known as Yingjiao Park, is located in the northeast corner of Beidaihe seashore and is one of the famous scenic spots in Beidaihe. The view of the sea in the park is excellent. Watching the sunrise here is an unmissable activity for most tourists who come to Beidaihe. When migratory birds migrate in spring and autumn every year, it is also a resort for photographers to watch birds and take pictures.
Pigeon Nest Park is a small park about 500 meters long and 200 meters wide along the beach. There are roughly three parts in the park: a mountain, a lake, and a beach. The mountain refers to the beautiful rocky hills and rocks at the edge of the sea, the lake refers to the Yuanyang Lake in the center of the park, and the beach refers to the beach wetland along the coast. In addition, there are artificial buildings such as the Sea Viewing Corridor, Yingjiao Pavilion, and statues. You can walk in the park one by one, and it takes about 2-3 hours. There are some simple recreational items around the lake in the park. You can go boating and rowing on the lake. Interested tourists can go there to experience it.
When visiting Pigeon Nest Park, the must-experience activity is to watch the sunrise, which is one of the top ten viewing spots in the country. Pigeon Nest Park is facing the vast Bohai Sea, with a wide view. A red sun rises from the sea in the early morning, also known as "bath day", which is very spectacular. However, it is not possible to see a beautiful sunrise every day. Rainy days or early morning fog on the sea will affect the sunrise. Generally speaking, there is a higher chance of seeing a beautiful sunrise in September. The place to watch the sunrise is located on Yingjiao Rock, where the terrain is higher and the landscape seen is relatively open.
When it comes to playing during the day, summer is a more suitable season, when the sea is cool and comfortable. Although the tidal flats on the beach in the park cannot swim in the sea, it is still very good to step on the sand with bare feet and feel the cool sea water. There are also many tourists who will catch small crabs in the tidal flats here, which is very interesting. Spring and autumn are the seasons for bird watching. There are many birds around March-May and September-November every year, and it is also very good to come to take pictures. In other seasons, there will be hundreds of pigeons raised in the park for tourists to take pictures, but the landscape will be more general. It is colder to play in winter, and there are less things to do on the beach. The main thing is to watch the sunrise, but you must prepare warm clothes.
