In Fuzhou City’s Pingtan, where the Chinese mainland meets the island of Taiwan, Mother Nature runs her own workshop . Stormy waves have spent millennia carving surreal rock formations here, creating what locals call a 'sea erosion museum'
. This geological marvel, shaped by converging ocean currents, looks like a gallery of abstract sculptures – no tickets required!
The island’s rugged coastline isn’t just a stone spectacle. Endemic goats scale seaside cliffs like professional climbers, while seabirds
perform aerial balconies above nests tucked into weathered crevices. It’s a biodiversity hotspot where mountains literally crash into the sea
.
Part of CGTN Nature’s Journeys in Nature: Eastern Fujian Series, this episode reveals how wind and water collaborate as Earth’s ultimate artists. Previous installments have shown everything from floating goat pastures to fairytale coastal forests – proof that Fujian’s coastline is full of surprises .
