Shanshui Beach Introduction
Shanshui Beach is located on the southernmost coast of Magong Island, stretching over 200 meters. As you walk along the embankment toward the coast, you'll first encounter a large expanse of lush green climbing plants, followed by a golden, dense sandy beach and the deep blue sea. The three colors complement each other, creating a beautiful and alluring scene. Due to the larger waves at Shanshui Beach, it is one of the few beaches in Penghu suitable for surfing. After enjoying the water during the day, visitors can head to the stargazing park on the eastern side of the beach to view the stars, where seasonal zodiac stone monuments can serve as reference points. On the western side of the beach, there is a mountain called Pig Mother Mountain, which was once a military restricted area but has now been transformed into "Shanshui No. 30 Height Park." This location offers the best panoramic view of Shanshui Beach and allows visitors to admire surfers in action! You might be curious about the name "Pig Mother Water." According to legend, the name originated because pig sties were located near the beach, and large octopuses would come ashore to drag pigs into the sea, hence the name "Pig Mother Water." Later, the Nationalist government promoted the beautification of place names, and the residents, inspired by the beautiful hills and clear waters in the area, proposed "Shanshui" as the neighborhood name, which has been used ever since. As you gaze upon this beautiful scenery, doesn’t it feel familiar? That’s right! The stunning views of Shanshui Beach have been featured in the music video of singer Chen Sheng and in the movie "Run away! Love," starring Richie Ren and Shu Qi!
