majestic bedrock coast

Coasts made of hard rock are called bedrock coasts. It has clear outlines, strong lines and majestic momentum. It not only has masculine beauty, but also has an ever-changing charm. It is one of the main types of coast. Sea stack bedrock coasts often have protruding headlands, and between the headlands, bays are formed that penetrate deep into the land. The headlands and bays alternate with each other, stretching endlessly, and the coastline is very tortuous.

Bedrock coasts are widely distributed in my country's Shandong Peninsula, Liaodong Peninsula and Zhejiang, Fujian, Taiwan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Qiong and other provinces south of Hangzhou Bay. The most spectacular sight on the bedrock coast is the huge waves rushing from the sea that hit the cliffs and create towering water columns, making bursts of roar.

my country's bedrock coasts are mostly composed of various mountain rocks such as granite, basalt, quartzite, and limestone. The Liaodong Peninsula protrudes between the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. The base coast here is mostly composed of quartzite. The Shandong Peninsula is inserted into the Yellow Sea and is mostly a bedrock coast formed by granite. The bedrock coasts in eastern Zhejiang, northern Fujian and other places south of Hangzhou Bay are mostly composed of igneous rocks. The bedrock coasts in southern Fujian, Guangdong, and Hainan are mostly composed of granite and basalt.

Yeliu Village, Wanli Township, Taipei County, Taiwan, about 17 kilometers away from the sea erosion platform on Dalian Jinshitan, Keelung City, is located on a peninsula composed of bedrock. The peninsula protrudes into the ocean for about 2 kilometers and is filled with strange rocks and strange rocks.

The headland sea cliffs in Shantou City form many stone pillars separated from the mountains. The cliffs on the coast of Penglai, Shandong Province are majestic and majestic like the stone forests in Lunan Yi Autonomous County, Yunnan, so they are called "Cape Stone Forests". The stone pillars rise from the ground, thick at the top and thin at the bottom. They stand in groups and are spectacular, forming a wonderful scene on the bedrock coast.

Qingdao Shilaoren National Tourism Resort has added a new style to this famous tourist city. The tourist area is backed by majestic and tall cliffs and stands on the bedrock coast composed of granite on the coast of Changdao. The finishing touch is a huge boulder that stands 24 meters high, 10 meters long and 5 meters wide standing offshore. The stone looks like a statue of an old man from a distance. No matter how wind blows or waves blow, I remain firm and motionless, and I am known as "Old Man Stone".

There is a heart-shaped sea cave in the middle of Old Man Shi, which is 8 meters high and 3 meters wide. When there is a big storm on the sea, the turbulent sea water rushes through the sea cave, making a roaring sound. This is Old Man Shi’s call, the call of the sea.

The Manjiatan and Liangshui Bay areas in the east of Dalian City are coasts composed of limestone. Resorts, golf courses, geological museums, yacht clubs and other tourist facilities have just been built there, making it a new tourist hotspot in Dalian. The coast there is filled with strange rocks and endless changes, which is refreshing. Due to the action of sea erosion, the limestone coast here has formed beautiful landscapes such as sea stacks, sea caves, sea arch bridges, sea platforms, and sea niches. These masterpieces of nature are truly ingenious.

When you stand on the top of the cliff at the seaside and look at the surging waves in the distance, and under your feet are the white waves with the roar, you will be thinking about it. The main characteristics of the coast: the coastline is tortuous and has a large curvature, with headlands and bays alternately distributed; headlands protrude to the sea, and bays penetrate deep into the land. Generally, erosion dominates the headlands, while accumulation dominates the bays. Due to the action of waves and currents, material eroded from the headland and material on the seafloor slope are brought to the bay for accumulation.
