Scenic Spots for Erosions at Seashore

Walking along the trails nearby Temple Lienu at Qingqi, you will exit to the southern seashore, surrounded by a beautiful sandy beach and rocky seashore. At high tide line of the white sandy beach, a thin layer of black sand is usually observed. Its component is mostly magnetite with other heavy sand minerals such as ilmenite... A region close to Shashi is a rocky coast, which is consituted of gneiss and quartzite schist. There are few structures of quartzite schist within the rock of gneiss. Quartzite schist is rarely observed in Lieyu. Some porphyry rock vein is also observed. Gneiss, quartzite schist, and porphyry have great differences in ability against wind erosion. This can be observed by the difference under erosion. With the bless of nature, washes by tides, and wind erosion of rocks, it makes a rare and beautiful picture.
