The Laomei Green Stone Troughs on Taiwan’s northern coast are the only unique landscape of their kind in the country. Formed by volcanic reef rocks from the Datun Volcano eruptions, these formations have been shaped over time by relentless wave erosion. Every year around April to May, they become covered in a vast expanse of green algae. Now, the south also boasts a similarly breathtaking landscape akin to the Laomei Green Stone Troughs. Located at Tainan’s Golden Coast, the coastal wave-dissipating blocks also sprout a full carpet of green algae around the same time of year, set against what is hailed as one of the most beautiful sunset-viewing shores — a truly magnificent sight.
