Yuanbeyu Island Introduction
Yuanbei Island is located to the east of Qitou Village in Baisha Township and southwest of Niao Island, near Pengpeng Beach. It is named because its shape resembles a shell covering the water surface, and the scenery is quite beautiful and unique. The northern coastline has well-developed basalt columnar joints, famous for the "stone pen," "inkstone," "book without words," and "graphite." The northeastern sea cliffs of Yuanbei Island feature prominent columnar basalt formations that are narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, resembling a pleated skirt with many folds, making it highly valuable for viewing. The "pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, along with the pleated skirt" of Yuanbei Island are not only famous landscapes but also classified as a basalt natural reserve. The small hills behind the village of Yuanbei Island are great spots for enjoying the view, and from the northwest coast, one can gaze at the basalt wonders, making it a must-visit attraction when coming to Yuanbei Island! During low tide, the seabed formed by coral reefs between Yuanbei Island and Huxi Shagang is exposed, which was once an outlying transportation route for the early inhabitants of Yuanbei Island, holding significant maritime and cultural meaning. Additionally, with the varied scenery of intertidal zone ecology and coral reefs along the way, it has always been a popular route for intertidal ecological tours.
