Fulong Beach: Where Sky and Sea Speak in the Same Hue

#holidayitinerary



Nestled along Taiwan’s northeastern coast, Fulong Beach greets you not with fanfare, but with a quiet kind of majesty. The signboard at the entrance is simple, almost understated — a gateway to one of the island’s most breathtaking coastal stretches. But step beyond it, and the world opens up in color and texture.

The sand here isn’t just sand. It’s a canvas. Every year, artists from across the region gather for the annual sand sculpting competition, transforming the shoreline into a gallery of ephemeral wonder. Dragons rise from the earth, temples emerge from grains, and stories unfold in sculpted silence — all destined to return to the sea.

What struck me most was the way the sky and ocean seemed to conspire in harmony. On that day, they mirrored each other perfectly — a gradient of soft blues and silvers, as if the horizon had forgotten where one ended and the other began. The breeze carried the scent of salt and sun-warmed driftwood, and even the laughter of families felt like part of the landscape.
