October 15 Kuroshio Ocean University Detailed Introduction
On the Pacific Ocean, watching the first rays of the morning sun rise slowly from the far end of the horizon, illuminating the sea surface, and also casting the Qingshui Cliff standing on the east coast into a golden yellow. Watching such a scene, one becomes intoxicated. No matter how many or how beautiful the photos are, they are not enough to describe the feeling when facing her directly: the kind where you only hear your own breathing, and the sound of waves gently lapping against the hull. Beyond that, perhaps there are only the exclamations coming from the boat.
This kind of shock does not require us to introduce it like giving a lecture; instead, we simply bring you to the scene, using all your senses to feel the moment when you and nature draw close. Once seen, it is unforgettable; words can hardly describe even a fraction of its beauty.
During the voyage, there is also a great chance to have a romantic encounter with wild whales and dolphins at sea. We glide past them lightly and slowly, without disturbing them much or lingering long, keeping this brief encounter forever in our hearts.
After returning from the sea to the shore, that is not the end of it!! We approach Qingshui Cliff step by step from different angles, at a traveler's pace.
Chongde Beach: take the local train to Chongde and get off there. Because there are not many services, relatively few people visit; in the east, it is rare to have a place like this, with the deep Pacific Ocean on one side and cliffs and mountain walls rising almost vertically right next to it on the other, making the visual impact on travelers walking on the beach stunning; apart from the well-known Qingshui Cliff viewing platform, this is also the best private spot to take in the cliff at a glance.
