Lailai Geopark Introduction

The wide marine erosion platform, ridges, and pebble beaches make it a private spot for anglers to hone their skills and enjoy the joys of fishing, attracting experts both morning and evening. Historically, large-scale rock fishing competitions have also been held here. Lai Lai's Scenic Feast - The Devil's Washboard and the Legend of the Fire Dragon Rock In addition to being a rock fishing paradise, the area's array of peculiar rocks and terrain is truly fascinating. A series of black bizarre rocks lines the Lai Lai area, with their vast, serene linear patterns and the surging waves creating a striking feature known as “The Devil's Washboard.” Additionally, there is the largest "Fire Dragon Rock" in Taiwan, resembling the back of a dragon surfacing from the sea, standing on a flat sedimentary rock platform. These marvelous geological landscapes are remnants of tectonic activity. Visitors can also closely view the expansive marine erosion channels and volcanic rock formations, while enjoying a distant view of Guishan Island and the exquisite sea scenery. The northern marine erosion platform area is especially beloved by photographers, as it faces east, providing an excellent spot for capturing sunrise shots. Travelers are reminded that winter waves can be quite strong, so caution is advised whether viewing, rock fishing, or photographing, ensuring personal safety!
