Photo spotWorth it

Fuxian's pink beach at Hongshanzui, best after 3 pm

West shore of Fuxian Lake, Chengjiang

Red earth from the hillside at Hongshanzui has washed down onto the shore, tinting the sand pink against the blue lake. It's free, on the west shore off the old Chengjiang–Jiangchuan road. The color is strongest in low afternoon sun and after rain.

What locals sayMost posts call it the most photogenic spot on the lake, and the one to keep if time is short.
