Jinshan Jumping Stone Coast Introduction
Along the Danjin Highway heading towards Shimen, the mountain cliffs come close to the sea, stretching for several tens of kilometers along the coastline. Scattered along the shore are pebbles of various sizes, and one can see waves of white foam crashing onto the beach. During the autumn and winter seasons, the changing cloud patterns in the sky over the northern coast create a breathtaking landscape, making Jump Stone Coast a classic scenery that attracts countless travelers. Whether enjoying afternoon tea at a nearby café or taking a stroll along the coastline to feel the sea breeze, visitors can appreciate the stunning beauty of Jump Stone Coast. The name "Jump Stone Coast" originated from the time before the Danjin Highway was opened. The turbulent waves obstructed travel, and residents and travelers had to wait for the tide to recede before they could leap across the strewn pebbles, a process that was quite arduous, hence the name "Jump Stone Coast." At Jump Stone Coast, one can see smooth pebbles everywhere, remnants from volcanic rocks ejected from the Datun Volcano millions of years ago. After landslides caused more stones to roll down, these gradually accumulated to form the beach. Through the prolonged erosion by waves and the blowing northeast monsoon winds, round pebbles were created, forming this unique volcanic coastal landscape. It is an ideal spot for travelers to pause, engage in conversation with Jump Stone Coast, relax, and enjoy leisurely moments.
