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 appears in a beautiful golden color. Surrounding it are large areas of lush green climbing vines. Under the sunlight, the combination of the blue sea, green vegetation, and golden sand creates a vibrant color palette, making it a popular tourist destination. Historically, Shanshui Beach was known by the interesting name "Zhumu Luoshui," which translates to "The Mother Pig Falls into the 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 ocean by the octopus, hence the name "Zhumu Luoshui." During the Japanese occupation, it was renamed "Zhumu Shui," until it was changed to "Shanshui" after Taiwan's retrocession. At the entrance of the beach, the seawall features a large-scale 3D painting that incorporates the story of "Zhumu Luoshui." A physical surfboard is embedded in the seawall, transforming the 3D artwork into a 4D experience. Visitors can stand on the surfboard and take photos with the 3D painting, as if battling the giant octopus alongside the mother pig, making it a memorable photo opportunity. [Recommended stay time] 1 hour.
