Mystery Bay Introduction
The Healing Mysterious Coast The Secret Cove is located at Aokou, on the way from Fuzheng Settlement to Dapu Settlement. It is a newly named attraction in recent years, offering an endless view of the vast ocean that expands one’s horizons infinitely. During the season when blue tears are prevalent, this place is one of the hotspots for viewing bioluminescence on Dongju Island, where one can admire large areas of blue glow from high vantage points. From certain angles, the sea erosion pillars and grooves of the cove are filled with imaginative possibilities, giving rise to the romantic legend of Lü Dongbin and He Xiangu achieving immortality here, hence also known as "Lü He Cliff." In the lower right of the platform, there is a balancing rock, rumored to be the Jade Seal of the Jade Emperor placed to subdue the two immortals Lü and He. Looking far to the right from the platform, the mountain ridges resemble a stone lion guarding the Jade Seal. Below the stone lion, there is a sharp sea erosion pillar that resembles a shark during high tide and a rhinoceros during low tide, closely accompanying the stone lion. To the east, there is a pit known to the locals as the "Swallow’s Nest," a gathering place for birds. A television adventure program once explored this area and filmed the cave's interior, which leads to the sea and was once a shortcut for oyster gatherers. It is said that in the past, pirates roamed the Matsu Islands, and this was the best hiding place for locals. Due to the presence of leftover shells and unexploded ordnance, it is recommended that tourists do not venture inside.
