Sansiantai

The Dragon Bridge To The Island Of The Three Immortals

The eastern coastline of Taiwan is renowned for its natural beauty. Unspoiled beaches stretch for miles and at one point, Sansiantai, there is a wonderful surprise. A beautiful arched bridge, meant to resemble a dragon of Chinese legend, stretches from the mainland across to a group of small islands.

Sansiantai is saturated in folklore. The three enormous rocks making up the island's most conspicuous feature long ago gave rise to a native myth that three of China's Eight Immortals once chose the island for a place to rest. Even the name of the island translates to the Terrace of the Three Immortals.
