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 coast, you'll first see a vast expanse of green vines, followed by a golden, soft beach and the blue ocean. The interplay of these three colors creates a beautiful scene that is truly enchanting. Due to the larger waves at Shanshui Beach, it is one of the few suitable beaches for surfing in Penghu. After enjoying the water during the day, you can head to the Stargazing Park on the eastern side of the beach to observe the stars, where various seasonal astronomical stone markers can serve as reference points. On the western side of the beach, there is a mountain named Zhumu Water Mountain, which was formerly a military restricted area but has now been renovated into "Shanshui 30 Heights Park." This location offers the best panoramic view of Shanshui Beach, allowing you to admire surfers in action! You may wonder why there is a place called Zhumu Water. According to legend, it is because the pigpens of the settlement were close to the beach, and large octopuses would come ashore to drag the pigs into the sea, hence the name "Zhumu Falling Water," which was later abbreviated to "Zhumu Water." Later, the Nationalist government promoted the beautification of place names, and the local residents proposed "Shanshui" as the name due to the beautiful hills and clear waters, which has been used ever since. As you take in the stunning scenery before you, doesn’t it look familiar? Indeed, the beautiful landscape of Shanshui Beach has appeared in the music video of singer Chen Sheng and in the movie "Run Away! Love," starring Ren Xianqi and Shu Qi!
