Cijin Beach Introduction
Cijin Beach is a must-visit spot when coming to Cijin. It is located on Miao-Chien Road and adjacent to "Cijin Coastal Park." With a curved coastline extending several kilometers, the beach features fine sandy shores and clear waters, open year-round (unless the weather is poor). This place always attracts a large crowd of water enthusiasts and is popular among surfers and parasailers, offering the thrilling experience that only the seaside can provide. Under the scorching summer sun, walking on the soft sands of Cijin and cooling off in the crystal-clear waters is the perfect way to beat the heat. In addition to water activities, there are scenic coastal walking paths, natural ecological areas, and off-road zones for relaxation. Therefore, during the off-season when the beach is closed for swimming, many visitors still come to enjoy sightseeing and the beautiful sunset. With the ocean, sandy beach, and palm trees swaying in the breeze, it feels like a foreign beach, complemented by boats and cargo ships in the distance. As dusk approaches, the sunset casts a golden glow across the sky while sparkling waves crash onto the shore, making a romantic stroll by the sea a delightful experience for couples and families alike. Entrance to Cijin Beach is free, and it is equipped with well-implemented lifeguard facilities as well as restrooms. Visitors are urged to enjoy the water only in designated safe areas and to pay attention to safety. The "Cijin Black Sand Festival" is the highlight of Cijin Beach, held annually since 2015 with different themes, featuring exciting music performances, beach volleyball competitions, and various street performances that attract nearly a million visitors each year, successfully promoting Cijin as a vibrant event destination and boosting local tourism. The Harvest Square features the installation art "Wind Harvest" by the renowned artist Liang Ren-Hong, who is known for large dynamic art creations. This piece is made of stainless steel with a height of 9 meters and width of 7 meters, including two polished stainless steel scales rotating 360 degrees with the natural wind. It symbolizes the sea goddess waving her arms. Liang Ren-Hong's artistic concept reflects the dancing arms that seem to help gather the wild winds, akin to the cheers of fishermen during a bountiful catch. In the energy of the sea and wind, the red markers on the electronic map pinpoint Cijin, revealing it as a dream destination and the starting point for future prosperity and abundance.
