Shan Shui Beach Introduction

Shanshui Beach is one of the must-visit beaches in Penghu, stretching over 200 meters. Due to the rich natural resources in Penghu, it has been less affected by human pollution, and the sand is a beautiful golden color. Surrounding areas are covered with lush green vines, creating a vibrant palette with the blue sea, green vegetation, and golden sand in the sunlight, making it a popular tourist destination. In ancient times, Shanshui Beach was interestingly named "Zhu Mu Luo Shui" (Pig Mother Falls). Legend has it that a sow ran onto the beach, and a giant octopus appeared in the sea. After a struggle, the sow was dragged into the sea by the octopus, hence the name "Zhu Mu Luo Shui." During the Japanese occupation, it was renamed "Zhu Mu Shui," and only after Taiwan's recovery was it changed to "Shanshui." At the entrance to the beach, a large 3D mural is painted on the seawall, blending the story of "Zhu Mu Luo Shui." A physical surfboard is embedded in the seawall, transforming the 3D experience into a 4D one, allowing visitors to stand on the surfboard for photos with the 3D mural, giving the illusion of battling the giant octopus alongside the sow, making it a great spot for memorable pictures. [Recommended stay time] 1 hour.
