Lai Lai Geology Park Introduction
The holy land of rock fishing, Lai Lai is the most developed sea-eroded platform area along the northeastern coast, benefitting from the warm Pacific currents that support the growth of algae and plankton, which in turn nurtures a rich fish ecosystem. Coupled with its wide sea-eroded platform, single ridges, and pebble beaches, it has become a private spot for fishing enthusiasts to exchange techniques and enjoy fishing, attracting many skilled anglers at all times of the day. Historically, large-scale rock fishing competitions have also been held here as a competitive venue. Lai Lai Landscape Feast - Devil's Washboard and Fiery Dragon Rock Legend In addition to being a rock fishing paradise, the diverse peculiar rocks and geographical features here are truly remarkable. A series of black bizarre rocks, aligned parallel to each other, can be found in the Lai Lai area, forming vast and serene linear patterns accompanied by surging waves, which have earned it the catchy name - "Devil's Washboard." Moreover, the largest "Fiery Dragon Rock" in Taiwan resembles the spine of a dragon emerging from the sea, standing majestically on a flat sedimentary rock platform. These fascinating geological landscapes are remnants of tectonic movements. Additionally, visitors can closely observe expansive sea-eroded gullies and volcanic rock formations, as well as enjoy a distant view of Guishan Island, appreciating the breathtaking sea scenery. The sea-eroded platform area on the northern side is particularly favored by photographers, as it faces east and offers a perfect spot for capturing the sunrise. Travelers are reminded that during winter, the waves can be rough, so whether for sightseeing, rock fishing, or photography, extra caution and attention to personal safety are essential!
