Longmen Waves (Eman Volcanic Coast)

龙门激浪

A sea arch and basalt reefs on the volcanic coast of Eman, where the thunderous sound of giant waves hitting the shore is one of the Eight Scenic Views of Danzhou.

Longmen Waves lies by the sea in Longmen Village, Eman Town, in the northwest of Danzhou. It is a basalt coast formed by volcanic eruptions. Waves have long eroded a gate-shaped sea arch in the rock. At high tide, huge waves crash against the reefs and rush through the arch with a roaring sound. It is one of the Eight Scenic Views of Danzhou. Nearby are Yanding Village and other volcanic-stone villages, along with remains of coastal salt-making. The area is good for walking and photography along the island ring road. Entry is free, but the reefs are slippery, and you should keep away from the surf zone in strong wind and waves.
