Kueibishan Recreation Area (Moses Crossing) Introduction
Keelung Mountain has been one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Penghu since ancient times, known by the name "Keelung Lianhui." Between Keelung Mountain and another small island on the east, "Chiyu," there is a basalt path approximately 500 meters long that is exposed during low tide. At this time, it is interesting to go shell collecting, observe the rich intertidal ecology, or climb Chiyu. The basalt topography around Keelung Mountain and Chiyu is well-developed and has been designated as one of the six major basalt geological parks planned for Penghu. The two areas are connected by a typical land-linked island terrain, allowing access to Chiyu during low tide. When walking this gravel path, it is essential to calculate the timing of the tides, as the water will gradually rise behind Chiyu, which is not visible. When the tide rises to a certain level, water will rush over both ends of Chiyu. Many tourists and locals have unfortunately lost their lives here in the past due to unfamiliarity with the characteristics of the tides. Besides knowing the local tide times, having a professional guide who is familiar with the local sea characteristics is also very important. The Keelung Mountain Geological Park is rich in basalt containing olivine—Fanzi Stone—and coastal erosion features, which are significant geological characteristics of this park.
