[2025 New Taipei City Attraction] Travel Guide for Laomei Green Reef (Updated Mar)

#New Taipei Attractions #Taiwan The Laomei Green Stone Trough, located in Laomei Village, New Taipei City, was voted one of the eight secret places in Taiwan by CNN and is also one of the most distinctive geological landscapes on the north coast. The volcanic reefs left on the coast after the eruption of Datun Volcano hundreds of thousands of years ago have gradually formed stone grooves that are perpendicular to the coastline and arranged in an interlaced manner after a long period of weathering and wave erosion. Every spring, the stone trough is covered with green seaweed, and the stone trough is exposed at low tide every day, forming a green dream coast. When the waves hit the shore, sea water sometimes spurts out between the stone troughs, sometimes as high as several meters, which is quite unique. 🕐Best time to visit: The official statement is that the best and greenest season is April, when the tide is low from February to May every year. The low tide time is different every day, so check it out before going. Fugui Cape Lighthouse is also near the scenic spot and can be visited together ⚠️Note: The surface of the stone trough is slippery, and the geological landscape must be protected, so please avoid stepping on the stone trough Public Transportation: 🚍Take Tamsui Bus 862 (to Keelung) or 863 (to Jinshan) to Laomei Station 🚌Taiwan Travel 716 Crown North Coast Line to Laomei Station

Laomei Green Reef, also known as the Green Reef Coast, is named for the lush green algae that cover the grooves in the reef. This unique landscape is rare in Taiwan and is at its most beautiful during the Qingming period from March to April. The entire coastline is covered with algae, forming rows of 'green reefs' that turn the whole coast a vibrant green. Laomei Green Reef features both sandy beaches and eroded rocky shores, beautifully sculpted to resemble rows of green dolphins lying on the beach. The reef rocks here are volcanic, making them ideal for algae growth. As the algae die, their remains harden into thin layers of limestone, on which new algae grow. This cycle of life and death continues, eventually creating these stunning algal reefs. 📍Address: 253 Shimen District, New Taipei City

New Taipei Shimen・Laomei Green Stone Trough Every spring, the Laomei Green Stone Trough is covered with a layer of emerald green, forming a spectacular natural scene. It was already full of green in early March this year. Locals recommend that the best viewing period is from early March to around Qingming Festival. If you miss it, you will have to wait until next year! Check the low tide time in advance. It is recommended to go there about 3 hours after low tide. At this time, the stone trough is exposed and the sea water gently laps at it, which can capture the most beautiful scenery. 🚫 Important reminder | Please do not step on the stone trough! ⚠ The seaweed on the green stone trough is slippery. Stepping on it is not only easy to slip, but also will damage the precious ecological environment. Violators may be reported or even fined by technological law enforcement, with a maximum fine of 30,000 yuan! ⚠ Please keep a proper distance to appreciate the beauty of nature. 🚗 Transportation and surrounding facilities Parking fee: 60 yuan/time on weekdays, 100 yuan/time on holidays Address: Shimen District, New Taipei City, Taiwan 253 #2 Good Places to Go in February 2025

#2月好地方2025 The Laomei Green Stone Trough is located in Laomei Village, Shimen District, New Taipei City. It was originally a volcanic reef on the coast. Due to wave erosion and carving, it formed very beautiful vertical grooves. The green seaweed growing on the grooves formed an amazing "Green Stone Trough"; it is a seasonal limited edition! Laomeishicao, also known as the Greenshicao Coast, is a rare and unique landscape in Taiwan, attracting many photography enthusiasts or tourists to stop and watch. The entire coastal groove is covered with seaweed, forming one "green stone groove" after another, dyeing the entire coast a bright green spring color. Although Shicao is a geological term, Laomei Shicao has both fine sandy beaches and eroded volcanic rock shores, which are suitable for the attachment and growth of seaweed. The alternation of new and old algae creates this beautiful and charming algae reef.

The North Coast is one of the most beautiful coastlines in Taiwan! The diverse geological features, combined with the blue sky and ocean scenery, extend from Gongliao to Sanzhi, Shimen, Tamsui, Bali, and other areas, with fun and photogenic attractions along the way. If it's your first time here and you don't know what to do, just head to Shimen and Jinshan!

We recommend the Laomei green stone trough. The green color of the stone trough is limited by season. This green color comes from the adhesion of seaweed. The clearest time is from mid-March to early May, and it is most beautiful around the Qingming Festival. Even though the best months have been missed and the amount of seaweed has dropped sharply, you can still see a thin layer of green on the stone troughs around this season.
