Description of the Square terrain in Cimei Township
1.Summary
Cimei Islet is a segmented square mountain islet. The land
is roughly flat, and successively stretches down from east
to west. There are steep cliffs along east coast. The height
above sea level is about 66 meters, more than 30 meters in
the midland, and down to more than 10 meters when it comes
to west coast, just like an inclined tableland.
The sides of the north islet are surrounded by hills,
forming a small basin terrain. There is a small brook in the
middle of basin flowing toward west and going under the sea
from Eagle Tower on the west side, which is the gap. This
terrain is divided into two villages, West Lake and East
Lake villages.
The coasts around island are all coastal terrain. From south
coast to east coast, stretching to bays, capes, wave erosion
platform, wave erosion cavity of northwest coast is the
place with most beautiful landscape of Cimei along terrain.
2.Description of wave erosion platform
Wave erosion platform is mostly distributed in Big Lion
Scenic Area and little Taiwan Scenic Area. The most famous
wave erosion platform in Big Lion Scenic Area is Lungcheng.
When the tides are down, the platform is exposed above sea
level, becoming one of the famous fishing lands. When the
tides are up and waters cover the platform, it is just like
a dancing flying dragon and so spectacular. Little Taiwan
Scenic Area is the place with most wave erosion platforms.
Among them, Little Taiwan wave erosion platform is the
biggest and the most attractive. You could not image the
Taiwan-like shape without being there by yourself. Around
it, there are some platforms which are about 7 or 8 meters
deep from the sea bottom. |

Geological description of Cimei
Township
Pillar basalts stand erect on the south, east and north
coasts, forming a spectacular terrain landscape. For
example, the sea cliff terrain of Great bay, Niumu level
ground, Northeast bay and Northwest bay etc, the dike
terrain of Amah Rock, and special Pillar basalt of Big Lion
Scenic Area all grow on very well. The bottom of this pillar
basalt is the mixed layer of yellowish-brown sandstone and
slate-grey mudstone; there is quite thick tuff sandstone
between them. For example, the Tingshi area is the
horizontally mixed area of the stated deposited rocks.
Moreover, around Niumu level ground and Lungcheng, we can
see dikes of igneous rock above waters, folded layered tuff
edge conglomerate, thick layered sandstones, mudstones and
the wave erosion platform formed by water erosion. |
