Beiliao Recreation Area Introduction
The "Kuwei Lianhui" at Beiliao Kui Bi Mountain is one of the old eight sceneries of Penghu during the Qing Dynasty. Located along the eastern coast of Kui Bi Mountain, between the uninhabited island "Chi Yu," an S-shaped pebble path approximately 300 meters long is exposed during low tide. In recent years, it has become one of the ecotourism spots for tourists to play in the water; however, due to the rapid rise of water during high tide, it is crucial to keep track of the tides and minimize your stay to avoid danger. The name Kui Bi Mountain originated from the view of the coastline resembling a turtle lying on the sea when viewed from the ocean, thus it was called "Gui Bie Mountain." The later name change is attributed to Penghu scholar Cai Tinglan, who used a homophone "Kui Bi" in a poem saying, "Kui Bi Shuang Hui Lie Su Lian," which became one of the eight sceneries of Penghu. Kui Bi refers to the stars in the sky, and Kui Bi Lian Hui symbolizes the twinkling stars and the fishing lights on the sea, painting a scene of natural beauty. Players' Tips: It is safer to experience the underwater path three hours before low tide; in autumn, the path opens during the day for 5-6 hours before being submerged, so please do not linger on the path to avoid danger. In summer, you can arrive at Kui Bi Mountain before 5 AM to wait for the beautiful sunrise; if you happen to be at low tide, you can climb Chi Yu to enjoy the sunrise, preferably with a local guide to ensure safety. At night, you can appreciate the islands and fishing lights on the sea under the moonlight at Kui Bi Mountain, and perhaps gain a deeper understanding of "Kuwei Lianhui," one of the ancient eight sceneries of Penghu. The suggested schedule for tidal watching on the Chi Yu pebble path at Beiliao suggests that Chi Yu is about 300 meters from the main island, being an independent small island during high tide. After a certain time of low tide, a pebble path gradually reveals itself underwater, widening as the tide recedes and splitting the sea level into two sides. In the advertisement video "Canon EOS 650D - Penghu Edition," with time-lapse photography, you can clearly see a scene akin to Moses parting the Red Sea.
