Shanshui Beach Introduction

Shanshui Beach is one of the must-visit beaches in Penghu, stretching over 200 meters. Due to the abundant natural resources in Penghu, it is less susceptible to artificial pollution, and the sand presents a beautiful golden color. Surrounding areas are filled with lush green horse vine. Under the sun, the blue sea, green vegetation, and golden sandy beach create a vibrant color palette, making it a popular tourist destination. In ancient times, Shanshui Beach was interestingly named "Zhumu Luoshui" (Pig Mother Falls). According to legend, a mother pig ran to the beach, where a giant octopus appeared in the sea. After a struggle, the mother pig was dragged into the sea by the octopus, hence the name "Zhumu Luoshui." During the Japanese occupation, it was renamed "Zhumu Shui," and after Taiwan's recovery, it was changed to "Shanshui." At the entrance of the beach, there is a large 3D mural on the seawall that incorporates the "Zhumu Luoshui" story. Additionally, a physical surfboard is embedded in the seawall, enhancing the 3D experience to a 4D one. Visitors can stand on the surfboard and take photos with the 3D mural, as if they are battling the giant octopus alongside the mother pig, making it very photogenic. [Recommended stay time] 1 hour.
