Wang'an Beach (Dream Beach) Introduction
In front of you is a golden small beach, the hidden gem of Xiyu Island—Dream Beach, originally known as Wang'an Beach. It is a small and beautiful beach, stretching about 200 meters. It is called Dream Beach not only because it is the best spot to watch the sunset on Xiyu Island but also because it is a beach that appears only during low tide and is usually submerged underwater. Therefore, it's essential to check the tide times to see it! Not far from Dream Beach is the Zhujia community, where you can find a historic street called Bamboo Street, which was once known as "the first street of Kaiyu." This 300-meter street was quite lively during the Japanese colonial period, featuring a suit shop, a blacksmith shop, a pastry shop, and more. At its peak, Bamboo Street had 24 Holo-style houses from one end to the other, but after its decline and population outflow, the old houses are now almost deserted, and the former prosperity has vanished. During World War II, a large number of anti-communist troops were stationed on Bamboo Street, operating a welfare shop there, which fell into disrepair after they left. Above the entrance of No. 129, a weathered national emblem remains, telling the story of this history. Today, even the vast bamboo forest that was once named has disappeared, feeling the passage of time and the loss of its former appearance.
