Bishi Beach Introduction
Pisirian is a small coastal village located in the Sanxian Community of Chenggong Township. In the past, it was a place where the Amis people raised sheep. Everywhere in the village, you can see works by artist Jimmy Liao, sculptures of sheep made from driftwood, and the internationally renowned Paw Paw drum group, giving this small village a playful atmosphere. Following the footsteps of the girl in Jimmy Liao's "An Afternoon Walking Towards Spring," visitors can embark on a journey to discover 11 painted locations scattered throughout the Pisirian village, further exploring the tranquil and simple beauty of the community. The name Pisirian in the Amis language means "a place for raising sheep," where "siri" refers to goats. Historically, the Amis people who inhabited this area utilized the rise and fall of ocean tides to graze their sheep on Sanxiantai Island. With the passage of time, sheep are no longer visible in the village. Due to decreasing youth population and cultural gaps in the Amis community, the Sanxian Community Development Association, local residents, children, and artists have joined efforts to promote community building and create new opportunities for development. Beyond Jimmy Liao's artworks and wooden sheep, Pisirian is also home to the powerful Paw Paw drum group formed by local children. They produce vibrant and rhythmic sounds with their self-made bao bao drums, complemented by the pure and clear voices of the children, showcasing their vivacity. If you have the chance to visit Pisirian, be sure to book a performance to hear the powerful, original sounds of the East Coast. The walls of abandoned houses in Pisirian are adorned with vibrant murals hand-painted by local youth and children. In warm tones of red, yellow, and orange, there are several leaping "Jimmy Wind" white sheep, whose joyful poses reflect the lively energy of children running in the village. The old buildings have been transformed into guesthouse spaces, allowing travelers visiting Pisirian to explore the Jimmy Liao theme park, maze, and admire the community's artistic installations, as well as take a moment to appreciate the natural beauty surrounded by mountains and the sea, while tasting innovative local delicacies.
