Laomei Stone Ditches

Set along the North Coast of Taiwan, Laomei Stone Ditches are a unique geological formation formed by lava from a volcanic eruption. Over a long period of time, the ocean waves eroded these rocks into a large cluster of stone ditches. Between February and May, green algae flourish on the surface of these stones, creating a natural carpet of lush greenery seemingly laid out by the rolling waves. Such a breathtaking coastal landscape is only visible in the right months and during the low-tide hours. Be sure to check out the high and low tide predictions before visiting.

If you are looking for a more relaxed afternoon, you will also find Café da Samela (莎蜜拉海岸咖啡坊) that sits right on the beach with a spectacular ocean view and offers a great variety of beverages. While sipping their cup of tea, visitors could sit back and watch the sun melt into the horizon until the golden glow disappears and the stars come up and fill the sky.



Notice:

The green algae is blooming in spring (from February to May).
