By MOOK Scenic Spots / Reported by Christopher

Facing the boundless ocean always has a healing effect on the weary soul, as if both body and mind are cleansed by the rolling waves. Beautiful seascapes are a popular holiday destination for many—not only for relaxation but also to capture the vast blue expanse. Visitors can stroll along the coastline, gaze into the deep scenery that seems to lead to the heart of the sea, listen to the beautiful sound of the waves, and find it hard to leave. Taiwan is surrounded by the sea on all sides, with many worthwhile coastal spots. Below is a list of four popular photo-worthy destinations in the north, south, east, and west. Why not plan a blue-sea journey during your next holiday?

North – Keelung - Chaoying Park
 
Located on the eastern side of Badouzi Peninsula, Chaoying Park covers an area of 1 hectare. The site was originally a garbage dump but has been transformed into a prime location for ocean views. The park features well-designed timber-deck walkways and numerous art sculptures, among which the flying broom is the most popular for photos.

West – Changhua - Sea Cow Station
 
Taiwan’s most rustic coastal attraction, Sea Cow Station in Fangyuan, Changhua, boasts rich intertidal ecological landscapes. Here, you can experience riding a sea cow cart to harvest oysters—the only place in Taiwan where this traditional practice is still preserved—offering a strong taste of local rural culture. Additionally, there's the country’s largest Mazu temple, Fangyuan Putian Temple, a spiritual hub for coastal residents.
