Jiu Peng Desert Introduction
The coast road reaches Jiupeng, where the main feature is the sand dunes. To reach Gangzi, you need to transfer to Route 200. On the hills of Pinghai, you can see a vast area of over 200 hectares of sand dunes, locally known as "Taiwan's largest desert - Jiupeng Desert." The Jiupeng River carries a large amount of river sand, which, near the estuary, is deposited on both sides due to the transport by waves and ocean currents. During low tide, the sand is blown ashore by strong winds and accumulates on the high ground, creating a dune terrain that resembles a desert landscape. On clear days, many visitors enjoy lying on the dunes, gazing at the beautiful scenery of the moon rising from the sea. In the evening, strolling on the dunes provides a unique charm.
