Fulong Beach

Fulong Beach, also known as Fulong Bathing Beach, is located at Fulong Village, Gongliao Township at Northeastern Taiwan. It is the outlet of the Shuang River. The sands there are golden, which is rare in Taiwan. Nearby is a camping site named Longmen.

This beach is a favorite in the summer for people living in northern Taiwan. The Shuang River divides the beach into inner and outer parts. There is a footbridge named Rainbow Bridge linking the two parts. However, the watercourse of the river varies every year to some extent; sometimes the bridge is functional; other times it is not, because the seaside end would be in the river or in the sea. Recently the sands of the beach have been diminishing year by year, and the coastline is moving shoreward; i.e., the beach is shrinking. It is believed to be related to the staithe built for the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant of Taiwan for equipment disembarking.
