Lintou Park and Aimen Beach together form the longest continuous sand beach in the Penghu archipelago.
The park was created as a large-scale afforestation project to protect inland agricultural fields from salt spray and seasonal gales.
The beach is composed of crushed shell fragments and coral, giving it a distinctive white appearance.
A memorial commemorates the 2014 TransAsia Airways Flight 222 incident, which occurred nearby.
The forest area functions as a natural windbreak that allows for a microclimate significantly cooler than the surrounding open coast.
Lintou Park is a coastal recreational area located on the eastern side of Penghu, known for its extensive grove of beefwood trees. It features a unique stretch of white sandy beach, Lintou Beach, which spans several kilometers along the coastline. The park was established through reforestation efforts to combat the island's harsh northeasterly winds. It serves as the primary gateway to the adjacent Aimen Beach, creating a continuous sandy shoreline. The area includes a monument dedicated to the victims of the TransAsia Airways Flight 222 crash. Stone pathways wind through the wooded areas, providing shaded access between the beach and inland facilities. Local vegetation is dominated by coastal flora adapted to high salinity and wind exposure.

Bring extra water and snacks as service facilities are limited compared to urban areas.
Use sturdy footwear if you plan to walk the coastal paths, as the terrain can be uneven near the dunes.
Apply high-SPF sunscreen, as the reflection from the white sand significantly increases UV exposure.
Do not attempt to swim during the peak of the winter monsoon season, as the currents become extremely dangerous.
Avoid removing shells or coral from the beach as it is protected under local environmental conservation policies.
