The Jianyuan Ring Surrounding the Taiping Ocean
A Journey Through

Two rings around the Pacific. One is the Ring of Fire.

It is called the Pacific Rim Volcanic Belt because it is a ring of volcanoes that are still active.

The other is "Ring of Life." As a result of the movement of the earth due to the activity of the volcano and the creation of various natural environments, many living creatures have come to live there.

The connection of abundant life is called the Pacific Rim Life Zone.

Kaiyukan will tell you about the Pacific Ocean and the many natural environments and creatures that surround it.
