Heren Beach Introduction
Starting from the entrance of the Herin Trail at the Herin boundary stone at 168.5K of Suhua Highway, walk down about 200 meters, and after crossing a segment of woodland path, you will reach Herin Gravel Beach. The first sight that catches your eye is the various sizes of stones on the beach. These stones have rolled down from the cliffs due to landslides, landing by the sea, followed by a large area of clean and warm gravel beach formed by the gravel and fragmentary rocks of marble and gneiss brought down by the Liwu River and Qnagan River (Herin Creek) on the northern side, which have been transported and accumulated by the sea. To the south of the gravel beach, there is a wide and flat sea erosion cave. Further south, the massive gneiss rock wall is interspersed with several large quartz veins, which are quite rare in Taiwan. At the southernmost side of the gravel beach, several narrow caves can be seen, one of which has penetrated through the rock layers.
