Lai Lai Geology Park Introduction
The elite angling destination of Laomei is the most developed coastal abrasion platform in the northeast coast area. Due to the passage of the warm currents from the Pacific Ocean, it is suitable for the growth of algae and plankton, which fosters a thriving fish ecosystem. The broad abrasion platform, single sloping ridges, and gravel beaches make it a private spot for fishing enthusiasts to hone their skills and enjoy the pleasure of fishing. Skilled anglers can be seen at any time of day, and large-scale rock fishing competitions have been historically held here. Laomei's scenic feast includes the "Devil's Washboard" and the "Fire Dragon Rock" legend. In addition to being a rock fishing haven, the diverse strange rocks and topographical features here are truly remarkable. The black bizarre rocks, lined up in parallel along Laomei, create a vast and serene linear pattern that, combined with the surging waves, has earned the nickname "Devil's Washboard." There is also the largest "Fire Dragon Rock" in Taiwan, which resembles the back of a dragon emerging from the sea, standing majestically on a flat sedimentary rock platform. These magical geological landscapes are remnants of orogenic movements. Additionally, visitors can observe vast coastal erosion features and volcanic rock formations up close, and appreciate the stunning sea view from afar at Guishan Island. The northern coastal platform area is especially favored by photographers as it faces the eastern direction for sunrise shots. However, travelers are reminded that during winter, the waves can be quite strong, so whether for sightseeing, rock fishing, or photography, extra caution and attention to personal safety are advised!
