Laomei Green Stone Troughs were once voted one of Taiwan's eight hidden gems by CNN. The vibrant green algae and the azure sea create a stunning contrast, forming a dreamy green landscape on the North Coast from February to May each year. This not only attracts photography enthusiasts eager to capture breathtaking moments but also makes it a popular pilgrimage site for social media influencers and couples seeking wedding photos. Located in Laomei Village, Shimen District, New Taipei City, the Laomei Green Stone Troughs are volcanic reefs left on the coast after the eruption of Datun Volcano. Over time, wave erosion has worn away the softer parts of the volcanic rock, leaving behind the harder sections in longitudinal grooves. The spray from the waves brought by the northeast monsoon nourishes the surface of the stone troughs, allowing green algae such as sea lettuce and sea hair to grow, creating the astonishing seasonal beauty of the "Green Stone Troughs." The stone troughs are a natural landscape formed by the growth of algae. In recent years, they have faced a survival crisis due to the effects of warmer winters and human trampling. The green stone troughs are very slippery and can easily cause falls and injuries. Please do not step on the stone troughs to avoid damaging their growing environment. It is recommended to admire them from the beach as much as possible, allowing the precious green stone troughs to survive sustainably.
