 & nbsp; The true location of Xinlaomei Park is in Fuji Village, located at the corner of Fugui Cape in Shimen Township. Due to its proximity to Fugui Cape, the North Coast Scenic Area Management Office has officially named it "Fugui Cape Park". However, local residents prefer to refer to it as "Xinlaomei Park" to distinguish it from the old Laomei Park located at Wacuodi (place name). The Xinlaomei Park has multiple observation decks that allow visitors to appreciate the scenery of Fugui Cape and Shimen Reef Coast from a high vantage point. The most unique trees in Xinlaomei Park are several extra large banyan trees, some of which are eroded by the salt air carried by the northeast monsoon from the sea, causing damage and death to the tissue cells on the windward side. Under such long-term erosion, a phenomenon of single-sided growth on the leeward side is formed, which is called "wind-induced pruning trees". Another type of banyan tree in the park is called the air root tree. Banyan trees already have many air roots, which help them absorb moisture from the air. When the air roots hang to the ground, some can even support the huge trunk of the banyan tree, which is called the "air root tree". Usually, tourists will hide under the air root tree to cool off or play games. There is also a special place in the Xinlaomei Park, which is located near the sandy beach. There are rows of seemingly neat but not neat bamboo fences, which are used to block sand piles, also known as fixed sand fences. The function of the sand hedge is not only to prevent wind and sand, but also to provide a more suitable growth environment for coastal animals and plants. On the side of the fence facing the land, there are lush seaside plants. Although they are blown upside down by the wind, they still grow very densely and beautifully
