【Jinshan】is a tourist attraction with its spectacular coastal scenery and unique geographical landscape

The Zhutai Twin Islands are about 60 meters high and have a sad legend about the "Couple Stone". This place was originally part of the Jinshan Cape. Later, due to the movement of the plates, rocks with horizontal and vertical joints were formed. In addition, the sea water and wind continued to erode it, which separated it from the cape. After a long period of wave erosion, the small island gradually penetrated the sea cave below into a cape, forming a sea arch similar to a stone gate. Later, the top of the sea arch collapsed, forming two sea stone pillar-shaped reefs. The stone pillars are connected to the rock base, and the two islands on the water surface are divided into two islands, which look like two candlesticks, so they are called "Zhutai Twin Islands". 🌸【Must-see attractions】 🔸️Zhutai Shuangyu Observation Deck: Here you can clearly see the magnificent scenery of Zhutai Shuangyu.
