Cijin Ferry Station
Next Step: Open Google Maps and bike to the Rainbow Church.
Note: We know it will be a bit difficult for solo travellers to drive and use Google Maps at the same time but you may just follow the beach road and check the direction on a map from time to time. The traffic is reasonable and it is easy to drive.
