The Caota Dunes are located along the coast of Guanyin in Taoyuan, stretching 8 kilometers. The fine, soft sand forms wavy patterns as it’s blown by the wind, and its desolate beauty makes you feel like you’re in Morocco.

Climb along the sandy path to the highest point of the dunes, where you can gaze out at the boundless view—more spectacular than Kenting’s Fengchui Sha or Jiupeng Desert.

Next to the dunes, there are also wind turbines that look like windmills, creating a picturesque scene. (Photo / iciciclll)
Behind the dunes lies an endless beach and sea view, with a row of more than 10 huge windmills slowly turning in the wind, forming a unique and distinctive landscape.
