East Sea

Xiaobaishayu

Xiaobaishayu has varied geological landscapes. In the south of the islet, there is the beautiful white sand beach with a typical sand beak; and there are also sea-cut tofu-shaped beach rocks and potholes. In the east, the tower-like and curved columnar basalt are awfully peculiar.

Niaoyu

In Niaoyu, columnar basalt extends from the east shore to the north shore and has formed dominant sea cliffs. The wave-cut platforms under the cliffs present radial joints of columnar basalt. Due to the erosion by winds and waves, unique onion-like and other varied basalt landscapes have been forming.

Pengpeng Beach

Pengpeng Beach is a long and narrow natural sandbank located in the southwest of Niaoyu. The nearby sea areas are hot spots for water activities. Each year from April to October, a great number of terns, a kind of protected birds, roost on the isle. The seabird conservation area in the east of Niaoyu has become a paradise for bird watchers.

Yuanbeiyu

Yuanbeiyu has graceful and peculiar landscapes. At the seashore in the north of the islet, the columnar joints in basalt are well-developed. Stone Painter, Stone Inkslab, Stone Ink Stick, and the "Unword Book" are the most famous landscapes. The sea cliffs on the northeast side, with well-formed columnar basalt whose creases look like a pleated skirt, are well worth appreciating.
