Longmen Coastal Park Introduction

The Longmen Coastal Park is located on the easternmost side of Penghu Island, situated in the grassy area between the villages of Longmen and Guoye. The park's Longmen Back Bay beach faces the Taiwan Strait and features a famous tank-shaped restroom and changing room on the beach. Visitors can also enjoy beautiful views by climbing the stairs. Because of its somewhat hidden location, distanced from the center of Longmen village, it is a perfect spot for tourists who enjoy secretive atmospheres. Have you heard of the saying "At night, the quiet Longmen listens to the pounding waves"? This phrase appears in the "Eight Scenic Spots of Penghu" poem by scholar Xu Jinying during the Guangxu period. The description arises from the vast underwater reefs and significant elevation differences in the area. When the waves enter the waters of Longmen, they are obstructed by the terrain, creating sounds akin to drumming, hence the name "Longmen Drum Waves." The sight of the strong northeast monsoon waves crashing against the shores during winter is particularly spectacular. If you wish to hear the drum waves, you can go to the coast next to the Longmen Fude ancient well to watch and listen! If you follow the nearby Huxi bicycle path, you will arrive at another beach in Longmen village—Lizhengjiao Beach. It is suitable for water activities and snorkeling in the summer. During winter, due to the prevailing northeast monsoon, waves crash against the rocks on the shore, leading to the growth of lush green seaweed, creating a rather unique scene. This beach also has a remarkable historical background; beside the path leading to the beach stands the "Lizhengjiao Japanese Invasion Memorial," erected by the Japanese military after occupying Penghu during the Yiwei War. The memorial, made of granite, consists of three parts, but only the upper portion remains today, with the base being added later. After Taiwan's restoration in 1945, the inscription was ground off and changed to read "Taiwan Restoration Memorial," and in 2000 it was registered as a "County-designated Historic Site" by the Penghu County Government!
