Fengchuisha (Wind-blown Sand)
风吹砂
Monsoon sand slope terrain beside Route 26. In winter, strong winds blow sand from the beach up onto the plateau, forming “sand rivers” and “sand falls.”
Fengchuisha lies along Route 26, on the road from Eluanbi toward Jialeshui. Every winter, the strong northeast monsoon blows sand from the beach up onto plateaus dozens of meters high, creating unusual sand slopes and sand flows. In summer, rain washes the sand back into the sea, forming “sand falls.” In recent years, road construction and changes in vegetation have shrunk the sand slopes considerably, so today the main attraction is the view from the roadside viewpoint of the sea and sand slopes. Admission is free. Winter winds are very strong, so ride carefully and be mindful not to block the road when parking.
