Sights and facilities

Zhunan's main tourist attraction is at its largest Matsu Temple. The temple has a statue of the deity Matsu which from street level to its top is over 100ft. Zhunan is traditionally a beach and fishing community so has strong links with the sea guardian, Matsu. Zhunan is now part of Taiwan's computer sector and has a large Science Park. Mountains overlook the town and are within 20 minutes driving distance. Zhunan has wide open beaches and some fun cycling routes that run parallel to the beaches. Beach access used to be tricky until the bridge from the harbour to the beach was opened in 2008. It is a favourite local surfing, kiteboarding and windsurfing spot with year round winds.
