Keibi Mountain Recreation Area (Moses Split Sea) Introduction
Keibi Mountain has been known as one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Penghu since ancient times, referred to as "Keibi Lianhui". Between Keibi Mountain and the small island to the east, "Chiyu," there is a basalt trail approximately 500 meters long that becomes exposed during low tide. It is very interesting to collect seashells and observe the rich intertidal ecosystem at this time, or to climb Chiyu. The basalt landforms surrounding Keibi Mountain and Chiyu are well-developed and have been designated as one of the six planned basalt geological parks in Penghu. The two locations are connected, creating a typical land-connected island terrain, allowing visitors to walk to Chiyu during low tide. It is crucial to calculate the time of high and low tides carefully when walking this gravel path, as the water will gradually rise behind the invisible Chiyu during high tide. Once the water reaches a certain level, it will surge from both ends of Chiyu, and in the past, many tourists and locals were caught off guard by the tidal changes and met with unfortunate accidents! Besides timing the local tides, having a professional guide familiar with the local seawater characteristics is also very important! The Keibi Mountain Geological Park features basalt rich in olivine—Fanzi Stone and coastal erosion landforms, which are significant geological characteristics of this local park.
