As early as 6000 years ago, the area around Meilin lake was in the bay. Due to the alluvial of Hanjiang River and the weathering and accumulation of sand in Sangpu mountain, land was formed here 2000 years ago. After the wave erosion, the south foot of Niutoushan in the northwest of Meilin lake formed a variety of ancient sea erosion stones. The existing sea erosion stones, scattered in the foothills and fields, are shaped like mushrooms, dolphins, sheep heads, carp, turtles, sails and clams. These ancient sea eroded rocks along the Bank of Meilin lake are important historical data for studying the topographic changes along the coast of Chaozhou.
