Jinshan Jumping Stones Coast Introduction
Along the Danjin Highway heading towards Shimen, the mountainside closely adjoins the sea, stretching for tens of kilometers of coastline. Pebbles of various sizes are scattered along the shore, with white waves crashing onto the sand. Each autumn and winter, the clouds in the sky above the North Coast change dramatically. Such breathtaking scenery has made the Jump Stones Coast a classic sight, attracting countless travelers. Whether enjoying afternoon tea at a nearby café or walking along the coastline to feel the sea breeze, one can appreciate the stunning beauty of Jump Stones Coast. The name "Jump Stones Coast" originated before the opening of the Danjin Highway, where the tumultuous waves prevented travelers from passing through. Residents and travelers had to wait for the tide to recede before leaping over the scattered pebbles, a challenging process, thus earning the name "Jump Stones Coast." At this long coastline, one can converse with stones that have been here for tens of thousands of years. Round pebbles, formed from volcanic rock ejected during the ancient Datun volcanic activity, can be found everywhere. Following landslides, most of the stones gradually accumulated to form a beach, and through prolonged erosion from the waves and the northeast monsoon winds, this area has developed unique volcanic coastal scenery with rounded pebble beaches, making it a perfect spot for travelers to pause, converse with Jump Stones Coast, relax, and enjoy leisurely moments.
