Yuanbei Islet Introduction
Yuanbeiyu Island is entirely a hilly terrain, named for its shape that resembles a shell covering the water surface. When visiting Yuanbeiyu, you can ride a bicycle around the island or walk to enjoy the local scenery. If you walk into the village paths, you'll see the "vegetable houses" built from coral stones stacked in grid formations, which are walls constructed by locals to protect crops from strong winds and help them grow successfully. On the northern coast of Yuanbeiyu Island, the columnar basalt and the northeastern sea cliff's columnar basalt formations are well-developed due to the erosion caused by the waves, resulting in highly variable shapes with many folds. In the northern part of Yuanbeiyu, there are diverse forms of basalt, such as columnar, inclined, and more, including famous geological attractions like the stone pen, stone inkstone, unreadable heavenly script, graphite, and pleated skirt. These are must-see features when you visit this area. 【Recommended Stay Time】 3 hours or overnight.
