Yuanbeiyu Island Introduction
Yuanpei Island is entirely hilly in terrain, named for its shape which resembles a shell covering the surface of the water. When visiting Yuanpei Island, you can ride a bicycle or take a walk to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Walking along the village paths, you can see the "cai zhai" constructed from coral stones in a grid pattern; these walls were built by locals to shield crops from strong winds and help them grow successfully. The northern coast of Yuanpei Island features well-developed columnar basalt formations, as well as columnar basalt cliffs on the northeast side. Shaped by the erosive action of the waves, these formations display a variety of shapes and numerous folds. The northern part of Yuanpei Island showcases a diverse array of basalt formations including columnar, inclined, and more. These unique geological features, known as "pencil stones," "ink stones," "unwritten books," "graphite," and "pleated skirts," are must-see attractions when visiting this area. 【Recommended stay time】 3 hours or overnight.
