Liuliao Abstract Gallery

　　 Laoyashan Mountain is a coastal landscape featuring sea-eroded, weathered granite geological formations. Over millions of years, the rocks have been shaped by ocean waves and wind-blown sand, with unique minerals forming reddish-brown veins that create vivid and diverse patterns across the crisscrossing gullies. The ever-changing scenery resembles modern abstract art masterpieces, prompting geologists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to name it the "Abstract Gallery." Exposed rocks on the mountainside take on lifelike animal shapes such as “A Contemplating Sheep,” “A Spiritual Turtle Emerging from the Sea,” “Zhu Bajie Getting Married,” “A Sea Lion Whispering,” and “A Young Swallow Spreading Its Wings.” The gentle, golden-sand beaches along the shore and lush windbreak forests present a particularly magnificent and refreshing sight. Experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have praised this as a “rare and unique landscape in China” and a “premium tourism resource,” making it an ideal location for developing a coastal resort. The golden beach area stretches about 9 kilometers in total and has potential for development into a seaside bathing beach, beach sports, and more. The red rock zone features colorful stones in shades of red and brown; the peculiar rock zone showcases various uniquely shaped rocks on the mountain slopes; and the Abstract Gallery zone is truly unparalleled, with nature’s craftsmanship forming stunning abstract rock paintings.
