Chingshuei
Edit SpotAbout
During the summer of 2006, the local expat surf crew (Kiwi, Canadian & South African) built a little surf shack on the beach, where barbecues and cold beers where the order of the day. Protection was left up to Xiaopi, a vicious nine-foot attack dog.
Additional Info:
No worries about leaving your scooter or car in the little parking area. Clean up your rubbish when you leave. There are semi-permanent sandbanks that form, depending on recent typhoons.
