Wanli Tong Introduction
Wanlitong, adjacent to the sea, has waves rolling in with the wind or tides, coming in layers, all to explore the corals. Indeed, this place is beautiful, and along the coast, it is not hard to find that the underwater ecology here is stunning and enchanting. Due to the changes in tidal range, Wanlitong boasts a beautiful intertidal ecological zone. It is called beautiful because after the tide recedes, the coral rocks that were previously submerged are revealed. Walking carefully on the rocky outcrops, one hopes to discover native organisms in the crevices of the rocks and the tidal pools. Who are the native organisms? Sea anemones, sand crabs, hermit crabs, amphipods, and brilliantly colored tropical fish are among them. It is not easy to wait for them to appear one by one without the retreat of the tide. However, "pristine" is the essence of this beautiful ecology; if you see this group of native inhabitants here, please remain quiet and do not disturb them, for their existence is what allows Wanlitong to be called a beautiful beach. Wanlitong has been designated as a marine ecological reserve. As you go deeper into the sea, the terrain varies, showcasing many strangely shaped independent reefs, with visible stone holes, caves, arches, and rocky hills, all of which present a magnificent landscape. Looking at the diverse array of organisms, the lush underwater plants sway freely with the currents, and the various types and shapes of corals are countless. Corals are indeed good companions for many marine creatures! Schools of fish often frolic around the corals, and crabs and mollusks are not absent either. Clownfish and moray eels like to hide in the crevices of the corals for protection, while starfish, sea cucumbers, and sea snails love to snuggle up to the corals. There are even millions of marine organisms that choose to spawn in the coral reef area to continue their lineage! It is surprising that the underwater world of Wanlitong is not only beautiful but also bustling with life.
