Niu Xin Mountain is located on the southeast side of Xiyu, along the coastal highway from Chima Village to Nei'an Village, at the border between Chima Village and Nei'an Village. Niu Xin Mountain is originally a small island connected to the land, formed by the cooling of volcanic lava into a basaltic square hill. Over a long period of coastal erosion and weathering, it has shaped into a landscape resembling a cow's heart.

Niuxin Mountain (Niuxin Bay) Introduction

Niuxin Mountain, also known as "Devil Mountain," is located on the southeast side of Xiyu. There are two coastal roads leading to Niuxin Mountain: one from Daguyal to Chima, and the other from Neian to external coastal road. The coastal road offers beautiful scenery, starting from Hengjiao Village to Neian Elementary School along the coast. Niuxin Mountain is a land bridge formed by the weathering of columnar basalt, where cattle and sheep are grazed in the summer, providing a tranquil setting. Niuxin Mountain itself is a small land bridge, formed from the cooling of volcanic lava into basalt polygonal terrain. Over time, sea erosion and weathering have shaped it into a hill that resembles the shape of a cow's heart. The base of the mountain is surrounded by silver acacia and weeds, and in summer, clusters of daisies bloom, revealing the basalt columns at the peak. Below the mountain is Niuxin Bay, which features a wave-cut platform and beautiful stone weirs, making it one of the renowned scenic bays in Penghu. This area was once the cemetery of Chima Village, and there is a military base nearby, so visitors are advised to exercise caution. 【Suggested stay time】 0.5 hours
