Zhongjiao Shazhu Bay Introduction
Located at kilometer 39 of Taiwan Provincial Highway 2, this area serves as a surfing hotspot on the northern coast. During the hot summer months, it attracts many skilled surfers who come here to enjoy the thrill of riding the waves on the expansive waters. In addition to surfing, visitors can also gaze at one of the eight scenic spots of Jinshan: "Candleholder Islets" (燭臺雙嶼), where the beautiful view of the horizon often allows people to forget their worries and immerse themselves in the blue coastline. The Candleholder Islets, also known as "Couple Rocks," are representative attractions of Jinshan, located off the eastern coast of Jinshan Cape. They are shaped like two parallel candleholders and were formed by the rising of the land, resulting in unique sea-eroded rock pillars from uplifted coral reefs. Between Zhongjiao and Yongxing Fishing Harbor, a scenic coastal highway with parking lots and walking trails has been renovated, making it convenient for visitors to stop and enjoy the scenery along the way. Visitors can also walk along the trails to admire the geological beauty of Keelung Islet, Yehliu Cape, and the Candleholder Islets of Shitoushan across the water.
