According to the analysis of lithofacies and paleogeography, Leizhou Peninsula was a vast shallow sea in the early Paleozoic and early Cambrian, about 567-600 million years ago.

Subsequently, the crust in the northern part of the peninsula fell sharply and fluctuated frequently, and a set of shallow-sea flysch clastic rocks, argillaceous rocks, siliceous rocks and rocks containing organic matter were deposited. At the end of CAMBRIAN, the crust rose and the seawater retreated, forming land. Caledonian movement caused the Cambrian strata to fold strongly, forming mountains and intermontane basins in the northern part of the peninsula.
