Shanshui Beach Introduction

Shanshui Beach is one of the must-visit beaches in Penghu, stretching over 200 meters. Due to Penghu's rich natural resources, the area is less affected by artificial pollution, and the sand presents a beautiful golden color. Surrounding the beach are large areas of lush green vines. Under the sunlight, the blue sea, the green vegetation, and the golden sand create a vibrant palette, making it a popular travel destination for visitors. Historically, Shanshui Beach was known by an interesting name, "Zhu Mu Luo Shui" (Pig Mother Falls). According to legend, a mother pig ran onto the beach, and a giant octopus appeared from the ocean. After a struggle, the mother pig was pulled into the sea by the octopus, hence the name "Pig Mother Falls." During the Japanese occupation, it was renamed "Zhu Mu Shui," and it was not until Taiwan's retrocession that it became known as "Shanshui." At the entrance to the beach, a large 3D mural on the seawall depicts the story of "Zhu Mu Luo Shui," and a physical surfboard is embedded into the wall, elevating the 3D experience to 4D. Visitors can stand on the surfboard and take photos with the 3D painting, making it feel as if they are battling the giant octopus alongside the mother pig, creating a great photo opportunity. **[Recommended stay time]** 1 hour.
