This past Sunday Michelle came to Nanao and we explored some sights together on my scooter. Here’s a beautiful photo of the port of Nanao. It’s a small little fishing port, and you can fish right there too, as Wang laoshi once took me there to do. The building there is a coast guard building.

Right by the port is a small gravely beach, covered with driftwood.

Walking down the beach, there were some interesting and beautiful geology. First, we found a portion of the mountain that was eroded in the recent typhoon. The red dirt had rolled off and solidified on the beach, leaving some interesting ground.

Next, we saw a number of points where the sedimentary rock of the coastal mountain had been cut out over and over by waves, leaving some interesting sheets of rock exposed.

There were also some natural caves here. The ceiling looks kind of like slabs of wood, but it’s all rock! We also found a stream.
