The Grand Natural Wonder of Qibi Mountain – Moses Parting the Sea
By MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team
Nature is full of wonders, and Taiwan, in particular, boasts a wealth of remarkable landscapes. The Bible tells of the prophet Moses parting the Red Sea, regarded as one of the most spectacular miracles. However, you can also witness such a sight in Taiwan. In Penghu’s Qibi Mountain Geopark, which includes Qibi Mountain and Chi Islet, a long, S-shaped gravel path emerges from the seabed during low tide, connecting the two landmasses — a classic example of a tombolo. At low tide, visitors can actually walk to Chi Islet.
