Fulong
A short train ride from Taipei City lies the pristine sands of Fulong. Officially classified as a village, this seaside community is one of the most popular with Taiwanese youngsters due to the annual Rock Music and Sand Sculpting festivals which take place on the beach. The village is host to a variety of dining options, a few bars, campsites, and of course, guesthouses aplenty. Especially it is more popular during the summer months, Fulong Beach and the surrounding areas are great places for a last-minute day trip or a lazy, relaxing weekend.
With golden sands and clear waters, Fulong Beach is divided by the Shuang River into two main sections. There’s the tourist beach, which has an entry cost of NT$100, accessible by the Rainbow Bridge near the eye-catching Fullon Hotel which is free to the public near Dongxing Temple and Fulong Seaside Park. At the tourist beach, you can rent parasols and inflatables, and various pieces of beach equipment, while you can also marvel at the many sand sculptures that are built there as part of several annual local art festivals.
