Shanshui Beach Introduction
Shanshui Beach is one of the must-visit beaches in Penghu, stretching over 200 meters. Due to the rich natural resources of Penghu and minimal artificial pollution, the sand presents a beautiful golden color. Large patches of lush green horseshoe vine grow around the beach. Under the sunlight, the vibrant colors of the blue ocean, green vegetation, and golden sand create a stunning visual contrast, making it a popular tourist destination. In ancient times, Shanshui Beach had an interesting name called "Zhumu Luoshui" (Pig Mother Falling into Water). According to legend, a mother pig ran onto the beach, and a giant octopus appeared in the sea. After a struggle, the mother pig was dragged into the sea by the octopus, thus leading to the name "Zhumu Luoshui." During the Japanese colonial period, it was renamed "Zhumu Shui," and it was only after Taiwan's retrocession that it became known as "Shanshui." At the entrance of the beach, a large 3D mural is painted on the seawall, incorporating the story of "Zhumu Luoshui." A physical surfboard is embedded in the mural, elevating the 3D art to 4D, allowing visitors to stand on the surfboard and take photos with the 3D mural, making it seem as though they are battling the giant octopus alongside the mother pig. It’s a great spot for memorable photographs. 【Recommended duration of stay】 1 hour
