New North City Jinshan Shitoushan Park

New North City Jinshan Shitoushan Park 

◎ Attractions：

Shitoushan Park is located on a cape protruding into the sea. It used to be a military stronghold guarding part of the northern coast, and therefore the environment is relatively better-preserved—besides the old barracks and fortifications that are still intact, there has been very little human development, preserving the rich geological and ecological resources that make this place a popular tourist attraction.

It is only about 70 meters in height, an easy walk along the trail that is surrounded by beautiful flowers and wildlife. At the northern end of the trail, there is a red traditional pavilion, an excellent place to watch the beautiful Twin Candlestick Islets.

The Twin Candlestick Islets used to be part of Jinshan Cape, but was separated from the Cape by plate movements and erosion, in the form of an isolated rock arch on the sea. Later, the top of the arch collapsed, and the present form of two upright pillars was shaped, initially called “Husband and Wife Rocks” by the local people.

Later, because of their resemblance to candlesticks, they were renamed “Twin Candlestick Islets,” the most famous geographic feature in Jinshan.
