Houliou Paradise Road: The Most Dreamlike Path in Penghu

In Houliou Village, Baisha Township, Penghu, there is a road that only appears when the tide recedes, like a dreamlike path secretly extending from the real world. Locals call it "Paradise Road." This is a stone-paved walkway stretching into the sea, revealed during low tide. The entire path looks like a long bridge floating on the azure ocean, leading to a vast, uninhabited horizon where the sea meets the sky, giving an illusion of "walking step by step toward freedom." 🚶♀️ Standing in the middle of the sea: A dream and reality The first time I visited Houliou Paradise Road was on a sunny afternoon. The sun made the sea surface glisten, and the stone path beneath my feet still bore traces of the receding tide, as if it had just been kissed by the ocean. Walking on it brought a peculiar sense of tranquility, as if the sounds of the entire island had paused, leaving only the sea breeze, my breath, and the sound of my footsteps. 📸 Whether you're here for Instagram-worthy photos, a romantic date, or simply to admire the sea, this place offers the purest backdrop: a clear blue sky, crystal-clear waters, and a straight stone path leading to infinity. No filters needed—it’s already dreamy enough. 🌅 Sunset: The most tender moment of Paradise Road If you happen to visit in the evening, the sunset slowly sinks below the horizon, bathing the entire Paradise Road in a gentle golden hue. That moment is perfect for standing still, saying nothing, and simply watching the sky and sea embrace each other. This place doesn’t need much decoration or luxurious facilities. What it offers is a pure sense of freedom—making you want to take off your shoes, empty your mind, and walk slower, and slower still. 📍【Houliou Paradise Road Info】 Location: Houliou Village, Baisha Township, Penghu County (search "Houliou Paradise Road" in navigation apps) Best Time to Visit: 2 hours before and after low tide (check daily tide schedules) Recommended Stay: About 30–60 minutes Nearby Attractions: Tongliang Great Banyan, Penghu Great Bridge, Dacangyu Island, Erkan Historical Village Note: The path is only visible during low tide; it is completely submerged during high tide.
