Marine Dragon Palace Introduction
The natural wonders at Fenghu Point on the eastern coastline of Dongyin's northern shore resemble a dragon. Just below the path next to the gas station, the coastal granite formations have been eroded by the fierce winds and towering waves over the years, creating various marine erosion landscapes. Within just a few kilometers of coastline, you can find sea caves, sea stacks, marine erosion gullies, and sea arches, all of which form steep cliffs with an expansive view, making it an excellent geological classroom. Located inside Yuanyuanao, Haixian Longque is a gap over ten feet wide and features a uniquely shaped sea arch. During foggy seasons, or when the waves become larger or during high tide, the waves crash dramatically, and the dark rocks intermittently appear through the surging waters, resembling a dragon frolicking at sea, hence the name "Hidden Dragon Troubling the Sea." When the sea is calm or during low tide, the shallow sea water within the arch reveals the rich stratification of the rocks, thus becoming "Haixian Longque." When visiting this site, in addition to appreciating the unique marine erosion geological features, feel free to let your imagination run wild as the dragon appears right before your eyes! Note: Haixian Longque is located near a military outpost, and due to the presence of the military, visitors are advised not to get too close to the barracks and to avoid including the military area in their photographs. Recommended Viewing Position: To see the dragon's silhouette, visitors are advised to stand at Fenghu Point and look down from Yuanyuanao towards the northern shore of Dongyin and Xiyin. After Ao on Xiyin Island is the dragon's head, while the protruding Beigu Reef is the dragon's pearl. The larger and smaller reefs scattered between Hou'ao and Bei'ao in the sea constitute the dragon's body, with the reefs near the "Haixian Longque" sea arch representing the dragon's tail.
