Nanwan is famed for its crystal-clear blue waters and its soft, clean sandy beach stretching nearly one kilometer long. Paired with umbrellas on the shore, bikinis, and beach volleyball, it creates a tropical seaside leisure vibe that draws crowds of water-loving tourists all year round.

● Jibei Sand Spit in Penghu

The beautiful Jibei Sand Spit in Penghu is considered the top scenic attraction in the region, with its breathtaking seascape said to rival world-famous spots such as San Francisco Bay and Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay. The Jibei Sand Spit was formed by tidal forces depositing seashell sands and coral fragments in the sea, resting on top of the azure waters — a favorite among visitors.
