Longcheng Introduction
"Longcheng" is a 600-meter-long geological formation characterized by interlayered tuff and basalt, oriented southward. Following millions of years of marine erosion, a flat sea erosion platform has formed. Due to the compressive forces during the lava flow covering process, dynamic folding phenomena have occurred, resulting in prominent wrinkles accentuated by the colors of various algae, enhancing the three-dimensional appearance of the folds. From the summit of the cliff, one can look down upon the platform, where curves in green, white, gray, and brown meander along its surface, resembling a dragon soaring amidst the blue sky and azure sea, hence the name "Longcheng." Broadly speaking, Longcheng refers to the three large interconnected sea erosion platforms in the area, with nearby smaller platforms resembling dragon beads and heads, appearing vivid and lively. From a high vantage point, the waves splashing against the edges of the platform resemble a white dragon floating. A complete view can be seen from the viewing platform at the Dashi Scenic Area, and visitors can also take the artificial stone steps along the coastline beside the pavilion to reach another viewing platform for appreciation. Descending gradually down the slope leads to the sea erosion platform, where one can closely observe geological features such as tofu rock and potholes.
