Guibei Mountain Sunrise Introduction
Kunyu Mountain is located on the northern coast of Beiliao Village in Penghu, commonly known as "Turtle Mountain," named for the local abundance of turtles. Another explanation is that the mountain resembles a turtle lying on the shore when viewed from the sea, similar to how Guiyu Island is named for its turtle-like shape. The "Kunyu Lianhui" at Beiliao is one of the Eight Views of Penghu. Kunyu Mountain is accompanied by several small islands, such as Jishan Island and Dinggou Island, and faces northeast, making it an ideal spot for watching the sunrise. Compared to the famous Guoye sunrise, the sunrise at Beiliao Kunyu Mountain is enhanced by the backdrop of the Diaoyutai Islands on the sea surface, along with Chiyu providing a striking background. When the sun rises from the black silhouette of Chiyu, the visual richness of the sunrise here is particularly impressive. Between Kunyu Mountain and the uninhabited Chiyu, an S-shaped pebble pathway approximately 300 meters long is exposed at low tide, which offers a great view for sunrise. If timed with the tides, it provides a unique experience; if there's low tide, visitors can also access Chiyu for the sunrise. 【Recommended stay duration】 1.5 hours
The sunrise quickly rises above Chi Yu.
