About Pigeon Nest Park
Geziwo Park, also known as Eagle Corner Park, is a small coastal park perched on the eastern tip of Beidaihe in Qinhuangdao, and it ranks among the most beloved spots in this famous seaside resort. Set on a rocky promontory jutting into the Bohai Sea, it offers some of the finest ocean views anywhere along the Beidaihe coast and has long been celebrated for the quality of its sea sunrises. For generations of visitors, getting up before dawn to watch the sun come up over the water here has been an essential part of any trip to Beidaihe.
The park takes its name from a cluster of weathered sea rocks whose form is said to resemble an eagle's beak, and its alternative name, Eagle Corner Park, comes from the same formation. The viewing platforms and paths are laid out to make the most of the headland, opening onto wide panoramas of sea, sky, and curving coastline. A statue of historical interest stands within the grounds, recalling the many statesmen and writers who stayed in Beidaihe and were drawn to this particular viewpoint for its clear light and sense of openness over the water.
Beyond its fame as a sunrise spot, Geziwo is also a recognized destination for birdwatchers. Each spring and autumn, migratory birds traveling along the East Asian flyway pass through the Beidaihe coast in large numbers, and the park's headland position makes it an excellent place to observe them. Photographers and birders from around the world come during the migration seasons, when the skies and wetlands nearby fill with species making their seasonal journeys, adding a quieter, more natural layer to a visit here.
Geziwo Park is small enough to explore in an unhurried morning and pairs naturally with a stroll along the nearby Beidaihe seafront, where villas, pine groves, and gentle beaches stretch out to either side. It is a particular favorite at sunrise, but it remains a pleasant place to walk at any time of day, with sea breeze, rocky shore, and a sense of Beidaihe's long history as a coastal retreat. For travelers wanting the classic Beidaihe experience, this little park captures it in a single, memorable viewpoint.
