▲ Meizhou Island: The Oriental Mecca in a Fairyland by the Sea Surrounded by azure waters and golden sands, Meizhou Island is the birthplace of Mazu culture and hailed as the "Oriental Mecca." Here you'll find not only a 9km stretch of golden beach (Lianchi Beach) but also a rainbow-hued island loop road rivaling Kenting's scenic routes. While cycling, the sea breeze carries a delightful mix of salty and sweet aromas. Every year on the 23rd day of the third lunar month, the island witnesses the awe-inspiring pilgrimage of 200 million Mazu devotees worldwide. Don't miss the 100-million-year-old sea erosion wonders at Ewei Shenshi Park, where sunset gilds the coastal rocks with golden edges.
