Tongxiao Beach

　　    Tongxiao Beach is situated on the western side of Tongxiao Township in Miaoli County and is the largest beach in central Taiwan. The facilities are very well-developed. With miles of fine white sand, it is hailed as the most spectacular part of Taiwan’s west coast. The beach is well-planned and divided into inner and outer sections. The outer beach offers a large area for activities with spacious grounds, where a variety of trendy water sports can be enjoyed. The inner beach features moderately warm seawater drawn from the cooling system of the Tongxiao Power Plant, creating a natural warm-water swimming pool. Next to the beach is also a windbreak forest that provides ample shade. Beneath the trees lies a camping area that accommodates 200 people and is equipped with wooden tables and chairs, offering great convenience.
