Wang'an Beach (Dream Beach) Introduction
In front of you lies a golden little beach, known as the secret of Xiyu—Dream Beach, originally named Wang'an Beach. It is a small and beautiful beach stretching approximately 200 meters. The reason for its name "Dream Beach" is not only because it is the best spot to watch the sunset in Xiyu, but also because it is a beach that only appears at low tide, being submerged under water most of the time. Therefore, it is essential to check the tidal schedule beforehand to see it! Not far from Dream Beach, in the little Chijiao community, there is a historically significant street called Bamboo Street, once known as "Kaiyu's First Street." This approximately 300-meter street was bustling during the Japanese occupation, with suit shops, blacksmiths, bakeries, and more. At its peak, Bamboo Street had 24 traditional Sanheyuan houses stretching from one end to the other. However, after its decline and population outflow, the old houses are mostly vacant, no longer exhibiting the past prosperity. When Taiwan was restored, a large number of anti-communist soldiers settled on Bamboo Street and operated a welfare institution there. It fell into disuse only after they left. Above the entrance of No. 129, a weathered national emblem still remains, recounting this history. Nowadays, even the large bamboo forest that originally lent its name has disappeared, leaving a deep sense of change and the loss of its former appearance.
