Kueibishan Recreation Area (Moses' Split Sea) Introduction
Kueibishan has been listed as one of the Eight Sights of Penghu since ancient times, known as "Kueibi Lianhui." Between Kueibishan and the eastern small island "Chiyu," there is a basalt path approximately 500 meters long, which is exposed during low tide. At this time, it's interesting to go shell collecting, observe the rich intertidal ecology, or climb Chiyu. The basalt terrain around Kueibishan and Chiyu is well developed and has been designated as one of the six major basalt geological parks in Penghu's preliminary planning. The connection between these two places is a typical land-connected island terrain, allowing access to Chiyu during low tide. It is essential to calculate the timing of the tidal changes carefully when walking on this pebble path; as the tide rises, the water will slowly rise behind Chiyu, becoming a danger when it reaches a certain level and starts flowing from both ends of Chiyu. In the past, many tourists and even locals have unfortunately lost their lives due to unfamiliarity with the tidal characteristics! Besides calculating the local tidal times, having a knowledgeable local tour guide familiar with the water conditions is also very important! Kueibishan Geological Park features basalt rich in olivine—"Fanzi Stone" and coastal erosion landforms, which are significant geological characteristics of the local geological park.
