Longmen Coastal Park Introduction

Dragon Gate Coastal Park is located on the easternmost side of Penghu Island, situated in the grassland area between Longmen and Guoye villages. The park’s Longmen Back Bay beach faces the Taiwan Strait and features a famous tank-shaped restroom and changing room. By climbing the stairs, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views. Due to its distance from the center of Longmen village, the location is relatively secluded, making it ideal for visitors who enjoy a hidden gem atmosphere. Have you heard the phrase “At night, the quiet Longmen listens to the waves”? This phrase appears in a poem titled "The Eight Scenic Spots of Penghu" by scholar Xu Jinying during the Guangxu era. The description arises from the region’s underwater reefs and significant elevation changes. When waves enter the Longmen area, they are obstructed by the terrain, producing a drumming sound, hence the term “Longmen drum waves.” During winter, the powerful northeast monsoon creates spectacular scenes of waves crashing against the shore. To hear the drum waves, you can visit the coast near the ancient well of Longmen. If you follow the bike path beside the lake, you will reach another beach in Longmen village—Lizejiao Beach. In summer, it is suitable for swimming and snorkeling, while in winter, the prevalence of the northeast monsoon causes waves to crash against the rocks, resulting in the growth of many green seaweeds, creating a unique scene. This beach also has a special historical background, as there is a “Lizejiao Japanese Army Landing Memorial” on the path leading to the beach, commemorating the Japanese occupation of Penghu after the Battle of Yiyi. The monument is made of granite and consists of three parts, though only the top remains today, as the base was added later. After Taiwan's retrocession in 1945, the original inscription was removed and changed to “Taiwan Retrocession Memorial,” and in 2000 it was registered as a "county designated historical site" by the Penghu County Government!
