Banli Beach’s soft white sands and straight, flat shore stands out all the more for being found among the many rocky beaches of Mazu. The beach is nestled between the slopes of Qinshan, Banshan, and Linshan, and it is linked to Wusha Beach by an unbroken shoreline. The sand is composed partly of quartz, making the entire expanse give off a brilliant white gleam in the sunlight. Whether visited at sunrise or sunset, Banli Beach provides an experience of the beauty of the interplay between shifting light, shadow, and clouds, and colors. Looking in the direction of Baisha Beach, not far away can be seen a small, colorful Tianhou Temple built on the beach. The temple sculptures are also worth a look while you're there.
