Wuyan Jiao marks the point where the Central Mountain Range meets the Pacific Ocean.
The beach is composed of natural marble gravel rather than typical sand.
It is frequently cited by locals as the 'hidden' start of the Taiwan Central Mountain Range's topography.
The area is prone to significant wave action, making maritime navigation highly dependent on ocean conditions.
The site remains one of the few locations on the northeast coast without significant human-made beach structures.
Wuyan Jiao, or Wuyanjiao, is a remote, jagged coastal promontory in Su'ao, Yilan, known as the starting point of the Central Mountain Range's eastern ridge. It features a secluded beach composed of white pebbles and marble rocks accessible primarily by sea. The site is a popular destination for sea kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding due to its clear coastal waters and unique rock formations. The area remains largely undeveloped, lacking basic public infrastructure such as restrooms or kiosks. Access via land is difficult, requiring steep descents through rugged mountain trails or guided canyoning routes. The coastal environment is characterized by dramatic sea cliffs and strong maritime weather patterns.

Attempting to hike the steep, unmaintained mountain paths without professional guiding or proper safety equipment. Do not visit during typhoons or high-sea warnings.
Highly weather-dependent; marine activities are frequently suspended during high-sea conditions or typhoon seasons.
Leave no trace; do not remove stones or pebbles from the beach. Water shoes are mandatory for protection against sharp rock edges.
