Wenchang Pagoda

Beihai 6

  


We are now further and further from Beihai back there. Today's wind is especially strong, so you can see our ship is moving back and forth. Don't know if my stomach can handle it much longer.

To be honest, I'm getting a little dizzy. Why is the captain so calm? Isn't he shaky at all? Don't look at me.

10, 9, 8, 7. I'm not seasick, I'm not seasick. I'm really not seasick.





So now you know why I'm here by myselfˇ­ everyone is seasick! I thought fishing would be great. I'd go out to sea, catch big fish, have a grand supper. But noˇ­ luckily, I have this. So now I can fish on my own.





A trip to Beihai is not complete unless you tour Weizhou Island, the youngest and largest volcanic island in China. The island is located 36 sea miles directly south of Beihai. The journey to Weizhou Island takes two and a half hours by small ferry. A view from above and you will see the result of volcanic activity and weathering.

We're almost there.

The island is known as a "Museum of Volcanoes". I'm no geologist, so I'm largely unfamiliar with the formation and development of the Island. Seems like a mystery. So my first stop was the Museum of Weizhou Island

It's unimaginable that Weizhou Island, like Hawaii, was formed as a result of tectonic activity and volcanic action. However, one big difference is that although the volcanoes of Hawaii are still active today, the ones in Weizhou Island saw their last eruption about 7,000 to 10,000 years ago. The exhibit in the museum includes remnants of the islands formationˇ­including coral rocks and solidified lava.




This is a bomb, but don't worry about it exploding because it's a volcanic bomb, formed from solidified lava. When a volcano erupts, it fires lava into the sky. As the lava falls back to earth, it spins around quickly, cools and solidifies, forming a round shape.




On the island, you can find craters, and marine abrasion platforms. A good place to take a look at these is the Volcano National Park.
