Jiupeng Desert Introduction
The Coastal Highway reaches Jiupeng, where the main feature is the sand dunes. To reach Gangzi, one needs to turn onto Route 200. From the hills of Pinhai, you can see an expansive area of over 200 hectares of sand dunes, which locals refer to as "Taiwan's largest desert - Jiupeng Desert." Jiupeng Creek carries a large amount of river sand, which accumulates on both sides of the river mouth after being transported by waves and currents in the coastal waters. During low tide, strong winds blow the sand onto high ground, creating a landscape resembling a desert. On clear days, many visitors enjoy lying on the sand dunes, gazing at the beautiful sight of the moon rising from the sea. In the evening, strolling on the sand dunes offers a unique charm.
