Jiu Peng Desert Introduction
The Coastal Highway leads to Jiupeng, where the main attraction is the Zai Sand Dune. To reach Gangzi, you need to connect to Provincial Highway 200. On the hills overlooking the Pinghai area, you can see a vast expanse of sand dunes covering more than 200 hectares, locally referred to as "Taiwan's largest desert - Jiupeng Desert." The Jiupeng River carries a large amount of river sand, which is deposited on both sides of the river mouth after being transported back and forth by waves and ocean currents. When the tide recedes, strong winds blow the sand onto higher ground, forming a dune landscape resembling a desert. On nice days, many tourists enjoy lying on the dunes to gaze at the beautiful sight of the moon rising over the sea. In the evening, taking a stroll on the dunes offers a unique experience.
