Jiu Peng Big Sand Desert Introduction
The Coastal Highway reaches Jiupeng, where the main attraction is the sandy dunes. To head to Gangzi, you need to transfer to Route 200. From the hills of Pinghai, you can see a vast area of over 200 hectares of sand dunes, which the locals call "Taiwan's largest desert - Jiupeng Desert." The Jiupeng River carries a large amount of river sand. Near the river mouth, the sand is deposited on both sides due to the back-and-forth movement of waves and currents. When the tide recedes, the sand is blown ashore by strong winds and accumulates on higher ground, forming a dune landscape that resembles a desert. On sunny days, many tourists enjoy lying on the dunes, gazing at the beautiful sight of the moon rising from the sea, and in the evening, strolling on the dunes adds a unique charm.
