Fujian Province, located on the southeast coast of China, has many beautiful islands, among which Nanding Island is the most mysterious. This one is calledThe island of "Fujian version of the elf falling" not only has a peculiar volcanic landform, but also hides a lot of little-known cold knowledge.

So, why does the columnar basalt of Nanding Island form such a regular columnar structure? This is because the magma shrinks unevenly due to temperature differences during cooling, causing the rock to crack into hexagonal or pentagonal polygonal columns. These columns are closely aligned with each other, and after a long period of erosion and weathering by the waves, they gradually form the magnificent landscape we see today.

In addition to the unique geological formation, Nanding Island is also home to abundant marine life, and the sea area here is known for"Natural aquarium". In addition, the vegetation of the island is also unique, with many rare plants growing that add a bit of mystery to this volcanic island.

Other than thatThe volcanic landforms of Nanding Island have also given birth to a unique natural landscape called sea caves. These sea caves have been washed by the sea for a long time, forming a myriad of cave wonders, attracting many tourists and geology enthusiasts to explore and sightsee.Walking into Nanding Island, we can not only enjoy the magnificent volcanic landform, but also feel the magical charm of nature！
