Shanshui Beach Introduction
Shanshui Beach is located on the southern coast of Magong Island, stretching over 200 meters. As you walk along the embankment towards the shore, you will first see a large area of vibrant green vines, followed by a golden sandy beach and the deep blue sea. The three colors complement each other, creating a picturesque scene that is hard to resist. 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, you can head to the stargazing park on the eastern side of the beach at night to watch the stars, where there are also seasonal stargazing stone tablets for reference. On the western side of the beach, there is a mountain called Zhu Mu Shui Shan. It was once a military restricted area but has now been transformed into the "Shanshui 30 Heights Park," which offers the best panoramic view of Shanshui Beach, allowing visitors to admire surfers in action! You might wonder why there is a place called Zhu Mu Shui. According to legend, it is because a pig farm in the settlement was close to the beach, where large octopuses would come ashore and pull the pigs into the sea, hence the name "Zhu Mu Luo Shui," which was later shortened to "Zhu Mu Shui." Later, the Nationalist government promoted place name refinement, and the local residents proposed "Shanshui" as the name for the area due to its beautiful hills and clear waters, which has been used to this day. Looking at this beautiful scenery, doesn't it feel familiar? That's right, the stunning view of Shanshui Beach has appeared in singer Chen Sheng's music video and in the movie "Run! Love" starring Ren Xianqi and Shu Qi!
