[2025 Taitung Attraction] Travel Guide for Sanxiantai (Updated Jul)

Sanxiantai is arguably the most famous tourist attraction in Taitung, drawing more visitors than other scenic spots or rest areas along Highway 11. The name "Sanxiantai" comes from the legend that three immortals—Lü Dongbin, He Xiangu, and Li Tieguai—once visited this island. In 2009, the eight-arch cross-sea bridge to Sanxiantai Island was completed. Before its construction, visitors could only reach the island by wading through the water during low tide. The bridge, with its wave-like design resembling a giant dragon lying across the sea, has become a prominent landmark on the East Coast. Sanxiantai is also a popular spot to welcome the first sunrise of the year 🔆, with live performances adding to the festive atmosphere. If you're looking for a unique way to celebrate New Year's and catch the first rays of sunlight, Sanxiantai is undoubtedly your top choice.

There is a free parking lot at Sanxiantai✨ It takes about 5 minutes to walk in and see Sanxiantai🤍 It's really beautiful over there😍😍 But the sky was not good that day, and we had only been in for less than 10 minutes. It started to rain 😭Actually I felt a little sad😫 Because it was my first time in Taitung and I wanted to stay longer😫 Taitung

Taitung Sanxiantai Scenic Area Address: No. 74, Jihui Road, Chenggong Township, Taitung County The entire island of Sanxiantai covers an area of ​​about 22 hectares, with the highest point about 77 meters above sea level. There is a circular trail around the island, which can take about 1 to 2 hours to walk! The Sanxiantai cross-sea footbridge is nearly 400 meters long and consists of eight arch bridges connected together. It is mainly built with red bricks and looks very beautiful in photos! There is also a pavilion next to it where you can take a rest. I recommend that everyone who comes to Taitung must visit Sanxiantai to see the charm of the sea and the miracles of nature! #Taitung #Taitung Attractions #Sanxiantai #Beach #familytravel

Jialulan and Sanxiantai are among Taiwan's earliest sunrise spots for photo enthusiasts. At the youth hostel, my roommates set off at 3 AM to head to Sanxiantai and wait for the sunrise. As for me, I simply took the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle with a one-day pass in the morning to check in at the spot. 💞 Recommended Reason: It's truly worth the wait. Graduation trips are all about relaxing and going with the flow. Enjoy yourself. If you feel like going, just go. No need for elaborate planning. Just savor the experience. 💰 Average Cost: 0 🗓️ Itinerary: Renting a scooter is even better. Foreigners can't do that, so obediently take public transport or rent a private car.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Taitung #Taitung Attractions #Sanxiantai #Eight Arch Bridge In addition to the famous Sanxiantai cross-sea bridge, it is recommended to take pictures from the bridge. There will be a concave line like a heart, and the scenery is very beautiful. Walk across the Eight-Arch Bridge (which is quite long) to the opposite island, where you will see less common plants - Ficus microcarpa and Lintou. There are many coastal plant ecosystems to see on the island. You need to reserve more time to complete the entire island!

Due to Typhoon Koinu, we had to rush from Kaohsiung to Hualien, otherwise, we would have been stuck in Taitung 🤣 🗓️ Itinerary: First Stop: Weiwu Mimi Village, Kaohsiung - Although it felt a bit eerie, the overall art style was quite nice 👍 Second Stop: Pier-2 Art Center - It's a huge place, quite tiring to walk around 🤣 but you can stroll leisurely, and there are often markets and exhibitions ❤️ Third Stop: Love on Route 9 - A hard-to-find spot, the 9420 deer is quite small 😅 but the scenery along the way is beautiful and very relaxing ❤️ Fourth Stop: Taimali Railway Crossing - Not easy to park, couldn't capture the Slam Dunk vibe 😅 Photography enthusiasts can visit along the way! Fifth Stop: Coconut Tree Avenue - Very beautiful and photogenic ❤️ Sixth Stop: Cocona Coffee - We were in a hurry, so by the time we got here, it was already evening. We just had a quick bite, but the scenery here is nice, and there's a trail you can walk down. Seventh Stop: Sanxiantai - The waves were too big, so we could only watch from afar. Will find time to visit again next time 🥲 * When traveling, you might encounter bad weather or unexpected situations, but there's always a way to solve them *

#100 Ways to Travel The sea breeze is blowing in your face, the morning sun is hanging in the sky, and the heat wave is accompanied by the salty air atmosphere unique to the seaside. Is this a kind of enthusiasm limited to the season at Sanshantai? Walk up the eight-arch sea-crossing bridge and admire the paintings with seascape, gravel, blue sky, white clouds and rising sun as the elements, accompanied by the mountains of the bay in the distance. Although it is a warm spring day, your clothes will feel wet. When the waves hit the rocky shore, the broken waves are white, set against the coral reefs exposed above the water, and occasionally you can catch fish swimming freely among the waves; when the ocean is dyed golden, the rippling water surface is bright and dazzling, and the mountain shadows on the trail are so beautiful. The beauty of Sanxiantai can be appreciated while hiking, with a new discovery at every step and it can be seen from every angle. 💞Recommended reason: Beautiful coastal scenery, cross-sea arch bridge 📍Address: No. 74, Jihui Road, Sanxian Village, Chenggong Township, Taitung County #beaches #familytravel

Leaving three immortal footprints on the mountain Hence the name Sanxiantai It consists of offshore islands, coral reef coasts and gravel coasts. The sea has been weathered and eroded by seawater for a long time, forming many strange sea erosion landforms such as sea erosion pillars, potholes and tunnel-shaped sea erosion gates. You can reach Sanxian Island through the cross-sea arch bridge There is a trail on the island where you can walk to the commanding heights to enjoy the scenery. I want to go to Hong Kong for a yacht ride

A family of three took the train to Zhiben and then rented a car to travel. We went to Hualien on Provincial Highway 11 and returned on Provincial Highway 9. Fortunately, Sanxiantai had just been reopened not long ago after being renovated for more than a year, so we pushed a stroller inside. The route was pretty good, and we encountered both Tropic of Cancer, so it can be considered a check-in point.

Sanxiantai, located in Taitung County, is a famous local attraction and is worth a pilgrimage when you come to Taitung. Take a walk along the gravel beach and seaside trail, watch the sea and listen to the waves, take photos in front of the cross-sea bridge, and the combination of Sanxiantai, the cross-sea bridge, the rocky shore or the sea view is particularly beautiful.

Sanxiantai is so beautiful, but the bridge is no longer accessible... a pity

Today, the chartered Hualien played all the way to Kenting. When I met the most savvy driver in history, I laughed and laughed. Rainy days, big waves, beautiful water.
