Yuanbei Islet Introduction
Yuanbei Island is characterized by hilly terrain, and it gets its name because its shape resembles a shell covering the water's surface. When visiting Yuanbei Island, you can ride a bike or take a walk to enjoy the beautiful scenery. If you stroll through the village paths, you will see "cai zhai" (vegetable houses) made of coral stones, which are built by locals to create walls that shield crops from strong winds, ensuring their growth. The northern coastline of Yuanbei Island features columnar basalt, and the northeast sea cliffs exhibit well-developed columnar basalt formations. Due to wave erosion, their shapes are quite varied, showcasing numerous folds. The northern side of Yuanbei Island presents a diverse range of basalt formations, such as columnar, inclined, and more, which are famous geological landscapes resembling stone brushes, inkstones, unscripted heavenly books, graphite, and pleated skirts, making them a must-see feature of the island. 【Suggested stay time】 3 hours or overnight.
