Volcanic sea erosion landform is developed, which is a part of the WesternRing Pacific volcanic rock belt. It belongs to the fracture zone of the easternmargin of Eurasian plate. Basalt ejected from 26 million to 7 million years agois exposed on the coast and islands, with clear eruption sequence and typicalcharacteristics, such as crater, vent, stomatal column group, majestic columnarjoint group, sea erosion mushroom stone, sea erosion platform column, seaerosion cliff, sea erosion cave, etc There are dozens of wide and flat beacheswith high quality and white, and 8020 of them are buried underground due to thesubsidence of sea rock__ The ruins of the ancient forest, ancient dwellings andancient military fortresses are also beautiful scenery for people to browse.
20__ On March 6, 20__, the Ministry of land and resources of the people'sRepublic of China approved Zhangzhou coastal volcanic Geopark as one of thefirst national geoparks.
Zhangzhou coastal volcano natural and ecological scenic spot is set off inthe blue sky, blue sea, sand beach and green forest. It integrates sightseeing,leisure, sea entertainment, adventure, scientific research and popular scienceeducation. It is a comprehensive tourist resort returning to nature. The arearetains the typical features of the tertiary central volcanic eruption structureand the landform landscape of the later weathering erosion, represented by fourrare volcanic geological relics in the world, namely the columnar basalt ofNanding Island, the ancient crater, the beaded volcanic vent group and thebasalt watermelon peel structure. It is a natural volcanic geological museumwith high ornamental and scientific value Universality and interest.
Zhangzhou coastal volcano tourist area
It is the only coastal volcanic geological landscape tourist area in China.It is located in the coastal area of qianting Town, Zhangpu County, ZhangzhouCity, Fujian Province, on the west side of the Chinese Taiwan Strait. The planned areaof sea and land is about 100 square kilometers. There are two magical volcanicislands in the scenic area: Linjinyu island and Nanding island. Linjinyu is anellipsoid like island composed of volcanic rocks (basalts). To the southeast ofthe island, there is an island formed in the 20th century__ There are as many as16 volcanic vents and several thousand square meters of rivet shaped stomatalcolumns on the Northeast beach, which constitute a rare ancient volcanic islandlandscape in China. Nanding island is ellipsoidal in shape. The whole island iscomposed of more than 1.4 million columnar jointed basalts originating from70-130 kilometers underground. It is a coastal volcanic island with the mostcolumnar basalts in the world. The basaltic rock columns are 20-50 meters abovesea level. The columnar shape is like a neat row of daisy. It plunges into thesea from the top of the cliff. It is magnificent and spectacular, which can becalled the natural wonder of the world View. There are three high-qualitybeaches of Qisha Bay, Jiangkou Bay and Houcai Bay on the coastline of more thanten kilometers in the scenic area. The clear sea water, gentle beach, fine andeven sand quality and well protected original ecological vegetation constitute apicturesque coastal scenery.
Volcano square
There is a volcano square in the park. In front of it is an antiquebuilding, the water Pavilion corridor, which is called Xuanwu Pavilion. It wasbuilt to commemorate the earth's history of volcanic eruptions over a longgeological period. Its background is the towering Xiangshan Mountain, located onthe lava platform at an altitude of 30 meters, which is a volcanic heap. Lookingto the East, this ancient pavilion is Xianggu Pavilion. There are two poolsunder it, one is Tianchi, the other is Dichi. I don't know if you have noticedwhy there are plants growing beside the volcano after watching for so long. Manypeople think that the place where the volcano passes is barren, but the volcanicash terrain gives you the opposite answer. Volcanic ash is the material ofvolcanic eruption, which contains a lot of minerals and carbon dioxide, so aslong as there is water and sunlight, plants can still grow.
green corridor
There is also a unique landscape - green corridor. There are more than 600kinds of exotic flowers and all kinds of bamboos planted here. The whole gardenis mainly represented by Casuarina, Xiaoshun bamboo, Acacia and pengjiju. Youcan enjoy it slowly. What's more, the content of negative oxygen ion here isvery high, which is good for physical and mental health. It's a good place fortourists to enjoy the forest bath.
From the green corridor to the distance, the volcanic landscape over thereis known as "Queen's milk". The queen lies on her back, has a strong body, andis a standard modern woman. Queen milk Shuangfeng is Yandun mountain, Yanloumountain, 30 meters high, is a typical shield like volcanic landform. Ithappened that there was a royal concubine in the local history. In the past,it's jiangkouwan beach. To the west is houcaiwan beach, and there is a stonebeach beside the wharf. The antique building in the northwest corner is ourtourist restaurant here. Its special flavor is "wild" seafood from the Strait,which is purchased by fishing boats on the sea.
Beautiful scenery in Xiangshan
Xiangshan Shengjing hundred tree garden, Xiangsi Lake, Wenyue Pavilion. Youmust be very tired all the way climbing. Let's have a rest here. By the way, I'dlike to introduce a famous tree friend, that is, the tall and thick tree,"seaweed king". His age is about 100 years old. In order to transplant this treeking, it costs a lot. It costs 100000 yuan.
Xiangshan castle. From a distance, does the building in front look like anancient castle? That is Xiangshan castle. It was designed by a famous architectand has become the symbol of Xiangshan scenic spot. In the scenic spot, there isMinnan folk show hall. Go in and have a look at Zhangzhou puppet show andZhangpu paper-cut show.
museum
The museum also has something to open your eyes to. That's our temple ofscience, the Museum of Geosciences. We live on the earth, but there are stillmany mysteries about the earth. I think our geoscience museum will be able tosolve them for you. For example, how volcanoes formed, how the sea rose, howmountains piled up and so on can be answered there.
The witness of love
"Eight trigrams lotus plate" and "vow to the throne". The eight trigramslotus plate is a masterpiece of nature. It is formed by crustal movement andmagma eruption. It is mainly composed of several volcanic vents. Its shape isvery similar to the eight trigrams and lotus, so it is called "eight trigramslotus plate". Let's look at this pledge platform. It looms with the tide. It issaid that this is the best place to prove love, so young lovers, happy oldpeople, or friends who yearn for love can come here to make wishes, which canprove your love.
Basalt wall
Basaltic rock wall is 200 meters long and 30 to 50 meters wide. It iscalled dragon vein by local people. When the tide rises and falls, it willappear and disappear like a dragon going to the sea. Therefore, it is known asthe "little dragon head" and can be compared with the "old dragon head" ofQinhuangdao.
Niutoushan ancient Huoshankou
It is an important scenic spot of Zhangzhou coastal Volcano NationalGeopark. It is located in the southeast of Baitang village, Longjiao sheTownship, Longhai City. Niutoushan ancient crater is famous for its completeeruption mechanism, clear layers and complete preservation at home and abroad.It has experienced 15 eruptions with a total thickness of 178.5 meters. The lastthree eruptions in the upper part of the middle part of the third epoch can beseen now. It is 24.6 million years ago. The shape of the ancient crater is likean oval trumpet opening with a diameter of 50 meters at the top and a depth of 3meters at the bottom Now. Within the area of 0.7 square kilometers around theancient crater, the volcanic neck, crater, eruptive facies and overflow area arequite complete and clear On the surface, the basalt with hexagonal columnarjoints formed by magma, as well as the basalt with watermelon like, rhyolitelike and pillow like joints, presents a unique and magnificent landscape, whichis praised by geologists as "a rare ancient volcano museum at home and abroad"and "a soldier horse servant", and is one of the rare and best preservedsubmarine ancient craters in China and the world; With the scientific researchvalue of geological structure, volcanology, paleogeography, earthquake,geotectonics and other disciplines, it is a scenic spot integrating thescientific research of geological heritage protection and tourism. It isseparated from Xiamen Special Economic Zone by water in the north, Shantou portin the south, Chinese Taiwan Strait in the East and Bank of China Zhangzhou EconomicDevelopment Zone of China Merchants Group in the West. There are also Haiweiancient city of bingxu town built in the 20th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty;the majestic and spectacular South Taiwu mountain, which is famous for its firstpeak in South Fujian, with 24 scenes echoing the North Taiwu mountain in Jinmen;there are cultural and historical sites and natural landscapes such aszhenhaijiao lighthouse, the largest lighthouse in East China, the beautifulsouthwest courtyard of artificial lake, and the 12 kilometer long clean and wideLongjiao Bay day bathing beach.
