Has anyone been to the 2011 Fulong sand sculpture festival? I have heard about it in the news, but i want to know if it is really worth it… any testimonials?
I also want to know because it’s usually in April and that is pretty soon.
Went there with kids about 2 years ago.
Extremely worth it.
Many many sand sculptures to view and take pics of up close.
Can take TRA train out to Fulong Station.
Couple of 7-Elevens there.
Go in morning to beat crowd and heat.
We did it in June and survived.
I went a few years back. It’s just as they say: Lots of sand, lots of fun!
Definitely worth a trip. The sculptures are always really impressive.
And it’s Fulong beach! You can’t go wrong…unless you forget to put on sunscreen.
I would get a hotel there and make a weekend trip out of it.
Wake up nice and early and watch the sunrise and spend the morning there.
We’re doing a beach cleanup this Sunday 2-4PM, not in Fulong, though, but at Linshanbi Beach (麟山鼻沙灘) near Baishawan (GC858MG Coastal Cleanup at Linshanbi ( ☉_☉)≡☞o──♻️ (Cache In Trash Out Event) in Taiwan created by JoyChang). Everyone is welcome to join

So if the judging is in April, what is left the rest of the time. The website says it goes until August. Don’t t they disappear after each rain? What is there to see in June?
As far as I understand, they treat the surface of the sculptures somehow, so that they are more stable in rain and wind. But not sure how long they last. I’ve been a few times, liked it, but no idea how long before or after the judging that was…

I saw it mid-late June two years ago.
All sculptures were still there, quite impressive.
Go early in the day before noon.
