Kenting Baisha Bay, with its white sand made up of marine biological shells, is truly beautiful！ Following *Cape No. 7*, director Ang Lee couldn’t resist setting the final scene of *Life of Pi* in Kenting Baisha Bay. In the movie, the cargo ship carrying the protagonist Pi sinks after entering the Pacific Ocean from Manila, marking the beginning of a series of drifting events. At the end, Pi drifts to Mexico and collapses on a smooth, white sandy beach, watching as his companion, the tiger (Richard Parker), walks into the woods without a backward glance. His weak and poignant expression deeply tugs at the audience's heartstrings.


Although the Baisha Bay in the film appears even whiter due to 3D post-production, the real Baisha Bay is no less stunning and deeply moved the foreigners on the *Life of Pi* team. According to Xiao Man, a local resident who accompanied Ang Lee during location scouting, the film’s art director truly fell in love with Taiwan’s scenery during filming. After returning to the United States, he even asked someone to keep an eye on land around Baisha Bay, hoping to eventually move to Taiwan and continue experiencing its unique charm.
