Hai Hsien Long Que Introduction
The natural wonders resembling a dragon are located along the eastern coastline of Fenghujiao in the northern part of Dongyin. Below the path next to the gas station, the beach granite formations have been eroded over the years by fierce winds and heavy waves, creating various coastal erosion features. In just a few kilometers of coastline, one can see sea erosion gates, sea columns, sea grooves, and sea caves. The steep cliffs and expansive views make it an excellent geology classroom. Inside Yuanyuan Ao, the Sea Hollow Dragon Gate is a unique coastal erosion feature with a width of over ten feet and a distinctive sea erosion gate shape. During foggy seasons, when the waves are higher or during high tides, the waves crash dramatically, and the dark rocks appear and disappear in the surf, resembling a dragon playing in the sea, hence the term "Hidden Dragon Dancing in the Sea." When the seas are calm or at low tide, the clear shallow waters within the arch allow for a view of the rich rock strata, thus becoming the "Sea Hollow Dragon Gate." When visiting, besides appreciating the unique coastal erosion geological landscape, one can also let their imagination run wild as the dragon of the sea comes to mind! Note: The Sea Hollow Dragon Gate is located next to a military facility, and visitors are reminded not to approach the military camp too closely, and avoid capturing the camp in photographs. Recommended Viewing Position: To see the dragon's silhouette, it is suggested that visitors stand at Fenghujiao and look down at the northern coastline of both Dongyin and Xiyin. The Hou Ao of Xiyin Island represents the dragon’s head, while the northern rock of Beigu Reef in front of the rocky area is the dragon's pearl. The larger and smaller reefs scattered between Hou Ao and Bei Ao represent the dragon’s body, and the reef near the "Sea Hollow Dragon Gate" represents the dragon's tail.
