Shanshui Beach Introduction
Shanshui Beach is located on the southern coast of Penghu's main island, stretching over 200 meters. Walking along the embankment towards the coastline, you will first see a large expanse of green "saddle vine," followed by a golden sandy beach and the blue sea. The three colors complement each other, creating a picturesque and desirable scenery. Due to larger waves, Shanshui Beach is one of the few beaches in Penghu suitable for surfing. After playing in the water during the day, visitors can head to the stargazing park on the eastern side of the beach to observe the stars, where seasonal constellation stone tablets can serve as reference markers. 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 No. 30 High Ground Park," offering the best vantage point to overlook the entire Shanshui Beach and enjoy watching surfers in action. You might be curious why there is a place called Zhu Mu Shui. It is said that because pigsties in the settlement were close to the beach, large octopuses would come ashore and pull pigs into the sea, thus the name "Zhu Mu Luo Shui," abbreviated to Zhu Mu Shui. Later, the national government promoted a policy of beautifying place names, and local residents proposed "Shanshui" as the name due to the beautiful hills and clear waters, which has been used ever since. Looking at this beautiful scenery, doesn't it seem familiar? Indeed, the stunning views of Shanshui Beach have appeared in the music video of singer Chen Sheng and in the movie "Let's Run! Love," starring Ren Xianqi and Shu Qi!
