Located at the coast of Qingqi, the green reef is renowned for its fascinating spring special "green carpet"。
The coast features world-class "columnar basalt" and impressive coastal landscape.
During March and April, green algae including sea lettuce and ulvales flourish on the reef. The endless "green carpet", well-defined rock ridges and grooves compose a stunning "Green Reef" landscape at the coast.
The Green Reef is also known as "tidal creek" or "sea groove" in geography. The reef forms when destructive waves hit against the low-lying area of the intertidal zone, causing erosions to the soft part of the low-lying area and leaving the hard part, as a result, a tidal creek or groove is thus created.
The waters in tidal creek are rush. Many intertidal organisms including sponges, tubeworms, oysters, barnacles, and shells inhabit on the creek wall.
