Located in Dongshi, Chiayi, the underwater traditional house of Sankuaicuo has become a popular new attraction in recent years. This abandoned house, surrounded by seawater, creates a stunning mirror effect with its reflection in the water, set against a desolate backdrop. It’s highly recommended to visit the sunken house along with nearby attractions like Baishueihu Shoudao and Dongshih Fisherman’s Wharf for a relaxing day trip in Dongshi, Chiayi.
About the Underwater Traditional House of Sankuaicuo in Dongshi, Chiayi
The Underwater Traditional House of Sankuaicuo in Dongshi, Chiayi, is a result of land subsidence and seawater intrusion. Around 40 years ago, due to land subsidence, the homeowners moved out, and later, seawater flooded the area, submerging the entire house. The sight of the house, along with the steadfast branches standing nearby, evokes a sense of historical melancholy. Initially a hidden gem known only to local photographers, it has now become a sought-after destination thanks to its popularity on Instagram and domestic tourism.
How to Get to the Underwater Traditional House of Sankuaicuo in Dongshi, Chiayi
From Chiayi High-Speed Rail Station, it takes less than 30 minutes by scooter to reach the sunken house. There are signs indicating “Dongshi Traditional House” near Sankuaicuo, which you can follow to get there. If using Google Maps, set your destination to “Sanjia Village” instead of Sankuaicuo to avoid being directed to a small side road. After seeing the Xibin Expressway, turn right, and you’ll find the Traditional House nearby.
Since the area is close to the roadside and lacks designated parking, you can safely park your scooter by the roadside. If driving, you may need to find a suitable parking spot elsewhere.
Lastly, it’s recommended to visit the sunken house in the afternoon due to better lighting conditions, as morning visits might result in backlit photos (like the ones in this article, taken in the morning). If time permits, visiting in the evening can offer a chance to capture beautiful sunsets!
