Introducing Jinshan (Chinshan)
Continuing northwest, not far past Yeliu and the nuclear power plant is Jinshan (Jīnshān), a small town hemmed in by the mountains of Yangmingshan to the west and the East China Sea to the east. With its good beach, scenic cape, grassy-banked river and abundant hot springs, Jinshan should be a great little summer getaway. And it may yet be.

At the time of writing, however, chaos seemed to rule on Jinshan’s beaches. Too many swimmers, surfers, wannabe surfers and vendors were all trying to compete for the same stretch of sand. However, the situation may be very different by the time you read this if the North Coast & Guanyinshan Scenic Administration get control over the area as they are attempting to do.
