Info:
Laomei's most interesting sight is the Green Algal Reef on the seashore. This reef, which is really only visible at low tide, is the result of a buildup of layer upon layer of algae. When algae die, their limestone skeletons remain in position, and a new generation of algae grows atop them.

The scores of long, humped "fingers" running down the beach, and the varying hues of green, make this an intriguingly unique landscape.

Laomei itself is a small community full of tiny houses and narrow streets. There's no industry here, and few businesses of any kind. Laomei Old Street used to be the main coast road. Nowadays it is much quieter, a newer, wider road having become Taiwan Highway 2.

The Laomei River runs to the east of the community; a smaller streams rushes through it, between people's houses, and between houses and vegetable plots. This means that, for its size, Laomei may have more bridges than Venice.

Laomei is within walking distance of Fuji Fishing Harbor and Fuguei Cape. Consider getting off the bus in Laomei, then walking from the Algal Reef to Fuguei Cape and then onto Fuji Village before catching another bus east or west.
