Qingshui Cliff
Qingshui Cliff follows about 21 kilometres of coast between Heping and Chongde in Xiulin Township. The coastal escarpment has an elevation difference of roughly 800 metres; Qingshui Mountain reaches 2,408 metres above sea level, which is its summit elevation. Marble, gneiss and green schist form the steep face. The highway follows the cliffs, and the railway passes through tunnels below.
