Yuanbeiyu Introduction
Yuanbei Island is entirely hilly in terrain and is named because its shape resembles a shell covering the water surface. When visiting Yuanbei Island, you can ride a bicycle or take a leisurely walk to appreciate the local scenery. If you venture into the village paths, you can see the "vegetable houses" built from coral stones, which serve as walls constructed by locals to shield crops from strong winds and ensure their growth. The northern coastline of Yuanbei Island features well-developed columnar basalt formations, while the northeastern cliffs also exhibit eroded and varied shapes due to wave action, revealing numerous folds. The northern part of Yuanbei Island showcases diverse types of basalt, including columnar, inclined, and more, with geological features resembling stone pens, inkstones, unintelligible scripts, graphite, and pleated skirts, making it a must-see highlight of the area. [Recommended stay time] 3 hours or overnight.
