The highest place is Tiandeng mountain, with a wide view, blue sky and sea. The environment of the scenic spot is quiet, warm in winter and cool in summer. The peak of the mountain is often shrouded by clouds and fog, which is sometimes thick and sometimes light, so it is called "Guanyin driving fog".

There are two roads into the area, one is the highway from the wharf to the top of the mountain, and the other is the mountain walk, which also leads to the top of the mountain.
