Wanlitong Introduction
Wanjitong, adjacent to the sea, features waves that roll in with the wind or tide, coming in layers to visit the corals. Indeed, this place is beautiful. Following the coastline, it is not difficult to discover that the underwater ecology here is stunningly captivating. Due to the tidal variations, Wanjitong boasts a beautiful intertidal ecological zone. It is beautiful because, after the tide recedes, the previously submerged coral stones are revealed. Walking carefully over the rocky outcrops, one hopes to discover the indigenous marine life within the crevices of the rocks and in the tidal pools. Who are these indigenous marine inhabitants? Sea anemones, sand crabs, hermit crabs, amphipods, and a multitude of colorful tropical fish. If it weren’t for the retreating tide, it would be hard to wait for them to appear one by one. However, "primitiveness" is the essence of this beautiful ecology. If you spot these native residents here, please remain quiet; do not disturb them with sound or movement. Only with their existence can Wanjitong truly be called a beautiful beach. Wanjitong has been designated as a marine ecological conservation area. Descending further into the sea reveals a landscape with varied topography, featuring numerous oddly shaped independent reefs. Stone caves, crevices, arches, and rocky hills can often be seen, and the terrain is magnificently grand. Observing the diverse forms of life, the aquatic plants sway freely with the currents, and an abundance of coral species and shapes are present—coral is indeed a vital friend to many underwater creatures! Schools of fish often frolic among the corals, while crabs and shellfish are also present. Clownfish and moray eels enjoy seeking shelter in the crevices of the coral, and starfish, sea cucumbers, and conchs love to snuggle up to the coral. Moreover, millions of marine organisms choose to spawn in the coral reef zone, ensuring the continuation of their species! It is truly surprising that the underwater world of Wanjitong is not only beautiful but also bustling with life.
