Gem Layer: 1200 million years of formation, European tourists destroy, mille-feuille helpless.
One of the most memorable moments of my life was when I saw a Chinese person throw away his cigarette on the street in Singapore, and that evening, while chatting with a guide, he asked me, "Why would you arrest a careless Chinese on the street?" "There was a Singaporean who threw 19 cigarettes out of a window in five days and was sentenced to 15 days in prison, fined S$3,800, and volunteered for 72 hours (wearing a yellow vest to provide health services to the public).
Since then, I have realized that I should pay attention to self-discipline when traveling, and at least during the period when Chinese tourists are criticized, not to be labeled as "impolite tourists" by foreigners.
Of course, in the process of foreign tourism, they also found a lot of bad behavior of foreigners, just like a tour in Spain, which was repeatedly told by a local tour guide several times. Located in the seaside towns of Zumaia and Deva in the Basque Country of Spain, Sancho VI of Spain ordered the relocation from the inland valley in order to stop piracy at sea in the 13th century, promising to build a lavish monastery of Santa Maria in the middle of the two towns to compensate for their losses.
But to the surprise of the Spaniards, the cathedral, which had stood for more than 700 years, sparked a war between the two towns, as the church was voted one of the best in Europe, and a piece was torn down in a battle.
So the Spanish Antiquities Authority took over the church, thinking that this was the end of the matter, but soon a new battle took place, this time not for the monastery, but for the beach between the two cities.
It was back in 2005 when the European Geographical Society collected data on sheet rocks around the world, hoping to find some fortuitous events about the evolution of the earth, and finally discovered the world's largest rock (i.e., continuous sheet rock) on the beach between the two towns. Later, geologists finally claimed that after thousands of volcanic eruptions, the rock on the surface of the rock went through 120 million years of long years to get to where it is now.
In fact, there are not only 1,000 layers of mille-feuille, according to the research of Spanish geologist Rayden Spear, they collected more than 1,200 age rocks, but the longest is only 50 million years old, far less than 120 million years old**, at least 3,000 to 4,500 layers, the longest sheet of rock is 5,500 meters long and 1,300 meters wide.
Melaleuca is designed to study various types of fossils and minerals, and to date, twenty-three unknown animals and plants, as well as hundreds of species of fish and other creatures, have been found on Deva Beach, which can be described as a rare "gem".
Before the mille-feuille rock was found, the beach between the two towns was rarely set foot on, and the reef was eroded by the waves like a sharp rock, and if you were not careful, you would be scratched one after another, and it was easy to die, so it was called "it costs shoes to walk on it".
After the excavation of many researchable fossils, Melaleuca quickly became one of the most popular attractions in the Basque Country, with thousands of tourists flocking to the area, providing a lucrative tourist offer. In this way, the two towns quarreled over the right to use this beach, focusing only on ownership and turning a blind eye to the damage caused by **.
In the eyes of many, Spain is already a rich country with a long history, with a GDP of more than $30,000 and the 5th largest economy in the European region. However, when these "treasures" were at their fingertips, Spanish tourists lost the protection of the "hand of civilization" and began to wreak havoc on the melaleuca rocks, some with their families here, and some drove to find fossils and remove them all.
According to figures released by the local government, more than 9,000 rocks have been excavated here in the past 15 years, the largest of which is more than 12 square meters, so it is called the "disaster site" by geographers.
Structurally speaking, the higher up, the easier it is for the surface rock to break, this is due to the higher quality in the lava, so most of the surface rocks are small, that is, the so-called "powdery rock", in some special cases, the powdery rock, one palm can pinch it into powder, let alone the soles of adults. That's why people want to rest here, because the weakest points have been hollowed out.
As a result, as local towns scramble to grab territory, Melaleuca becomes a "blank space" ravaged by European and American tourists, and there are signs of prying open and trampling everywhere.
It's okay if it's just like this, because the conflict between the two sides can continue, until 2016, when the famous "Game of Thrones 7" crew heard the news, hoping to shoot a "Dorne River View" near the Thousand Layer Cliffs.
The two towns were at odds and ended up in a pittangle situation, with one party allowing all the scenes on the land to be used, while the other party promised that they could use the land as they pleased, or change the way it was. Therefore, the ancient city bricks several meters high were born, and the precious thousand thousand stones also became its background.
Although there is also a problem of "impoliteness of tourists" in Spain, in fact, it is a very common behavior because they are only a small group, not a region, a people, or even a people.
