Entering
from Fort Jiangjun of Houtou, there is a wide and smooth beach. Since it is reefy here, there are many fish boat from China fishing here. Lef and underneath Fort Hu is a seashore cliff that is strongly eroded by northeast wind and sea water. You can also observe a rare scene of sea water eroded pillar.
Since this area is facing north, it is susceptible to erosion by northeast seasonal wind in winder and constant washes/splashes by tides. The rocks here are strongly eroded, and inland has shrinked comparing to old tiems. It is fortunate that tide dissipating stones of several hundred metres are placed, reducing costal erosion.
Fort Jiangjun is an abandoned post. In the duration of Baersan Battle,
former president Jingguo Jiang came and visited the defence in Lieyu. He also met the division commander Buotsun Hao. It is a major fort during this battle for the national forces. However, it is not being used now and the bulding above this construction has fallen. Fortunately, the underground tunnel is still impact. Visitors can still walk in the tunnel and sense the feeling of soldiers waiting to attack at that time of the year.
As you proceed from right of Fort Jiangjun, you will see a layer of red-white clay on top of the beach. The white section is feldspar, and the red section is mica.
The granite rock vein in this location has a high content of mica. You can break the rock with a gentle force because the rocks here are eroded easily. This has generate various special scenes.
The pebbles observed on the beach is the result of broken basic rock veins. However, it is different from the basaltic pebbles resulting in Nanshantou area.
