gravel
entrepreneurs thieved sand and gravels here, a large amount of beautiful shells were illegally mined then the rock exposed and Aimen Beach was no longer beautiful, replaced by a lot of garbage. Even the local people in Aimen Village, Huxi Township
turned a
blind eye. As a result, the beautiful beach in the eyes of the older generation in Aimen disappeared.
However, the old village headmaster of Aimen village Li Tianyu is trying to save Aimen Beach with actions! Like the Foolish Old Man, he silently made a net with wood and broken fishing nets under the burning sun, wanting to prevent the shell lands being blown
away by sea breeze! In the early morning before dawn, he carries a bamboo basket to single-handedly pick up the garbage on the beach!
Years later, as the Aimen Beach extended from tens of meters to a few hundred meters, and the sand covered over the dark basalts, Aimen Beach immediately became an extremely well-known attraction in Penghu. At first, passers-by were surprised by its beauty,
and then this information was spread in Penghu and even Taiwan. In addition, Penghu county government banned illegal mining of sand and gravels and rectified the beach, so “Aimen Beach", the love beach created by the old village headmaster Li Tianyu diligent
work has now become a very popular beautiful attractions in Penghu.
