Wang'an Beach (Dream Beach) Introduction
In front of you is a small golden beach, the secret of Xiyu—Dream Beach, originally known as Wang'an Beach. It is a small yet beautiful beach that stretches about 200 meters. The reason it is called Dream Beach is not only because it is the best spot in Xiyu to watch the sunset but also because it is a beach that only appears during low tide; otherwise, it is underwater. Therefore, you must check the tide times in advance to see it! Not far from Dream Beach, in the Xiao Chijiao community, there is a historical street called Zhuzi Street, which was once known as "the first street of Kaiyu." This approximately 300-meter-long street was quite lively during the Japanese rule period, featuring suit shops, blacksmith shops, and pastry shops. At its peak, Zhuzi Street had a total of 24 Sanhe courtyards from one end to the other, but after its decline and population outflow, the old houses are almost deserted, and the former prosperity is nowhere to be seen. During World War II, a large number of anti-communist troops took residence on Zhuzi Street and ran a welfare center there, which fell into disuse after their departure. Above the lintel of No. 129, there is still a mottled national emblem, narrating this piece of history. Today, even the large bamboo forest that was once named has disappeared, leaving a strong sense of change and loss of the old scene.
