Listening to the Waves at Mazi Stone Park, Xunliao Bay

Mazi Stone Park in Xunliao Bay, Huizhou, unfolds a stretch of coastline both raw and unhurried. Massive rocks stand scattered along the shore as waves crash repeatedly between them, sending up bursts of white spray. The distant sea lies open and calm, layered beneath sky and horizon. Walking slowly along the wooden boardwalk, the sounds of wind and waves intertwine, gently dissolving any sense of time. Free of noise and ornament, the park offers only the sea’s most honest breath.
