Overview

Remember the time when you built sandcastles on the beach when you were a child? Sand art is a type of art practice utilizing sand and water to model into artistic forms, usually buildings or characters. It is fun, and it can also bring both adults and children’s creativity into full play.

Fulong Beach is identified as one of the the most suitable areas for making sand sculpture by Word Sand Sculpture Association. It is also where the famous Fulong International Sand Sculpture Art Festival takes place. Every year, world-class sand sculpture masters are invited to come here to create their masterpieces. Various exquisite and creative sand sculptures always amaze the visitors, and make them “WOW”.

In addition, on this tour you will travel along Taiwan's northeast coast.
