Shanshui Beach Introduction
Shanshui Beach is located on the southern shore of Magong Island, stretching over 200 meters. As you walk along the embankment towards the coast, you will first see a vast area of lush green vines, followed by a golden, fine sandy beach and the deep blue sea, creating a picturesque scene of three colors in harmony. Due to larger waves, Shanshui Beach is one of the few suitable beaches for surfing in Penghu. After enjoying the beach during the day, you can head to the stargazing park on the eastern side of the beach at night to view the stars, where seasonal constellation stone tablets serve as reference points. On the western side of the beach stands Zhu Mu Shui Mountain, which was once a military restricted area but has now been transformed into "Shanshui 30 Heights Park," offering the best vantage point for a panoramic view of Shanshui Beach, where you can also watch surfers in action! You might wonder about the name Zhu Mu Shui. Legend has it that there were pigpens near the beach and large octopuses would come ashore to pull the pigs into the sea, hence the name "Zhu Mu Luo Shui" (pig sow falling into water), abbreviated as Zhu Mu Shui. Later, the Nationalist government implemented a policy of beautifying place names, and local residents proposed "Shanshui" (mountain and water) as the village name because of the beautiful hills and clear waters, which has been used ever since. Looking at the stunning scenery before you, doesn't it seem familiar? Indeed, the beautiful landscape of Shanshui Beach has appeared in singer Chen Sheng's music videos and in the movie "Run Away! Love," starring Ren Xianqi and Shu Qi!
