Longcheng Introduction
"Longcheng" is a geological terrain consisting of a 600-meter-long, south-facing sequence of tuff and basalt with alternating layers, which has formed a flat wave-cut platform due to millions of years of marine erosion. The dynamic folding phenomenon was created as the lava flows underwent compression during their movement, enhancing the three-dimensional feel of the fold's lines with different types of algae and moss colors. From the top of the cliff cone overlooking the platform, one can see curves in shades of green, white, gray, and brown winding across it, resembling a dragon swirling in the blue sky and azure sea, hence the name "Longcheng." In a broader sense, Longcheng refers to the three large contiguous wave-cut platforms in the area, with nearby smaller wave-cut platforms resembling dragon beads and heads, vividly and naturally formed. From a high vantage point, the white spray kicked up by the waves crashing against the platform edge also resembles white dragons floating. A panoramic view can be seen from the viewing platform at Dasha Scenic Area, and visitors may also follow the coastal stone steps beside the pavilion to reach another viewing platform for appreciation. Descending the gentle slope, one can reach the wave-cut platform to closely observe geological features such as tofu rock and potholes.
