THE 2024 Fulong Sand Sculpture Art Festival has opened at Fulong Beach in Taiwan. Running until Oct 13, this 136-day event brings together more than 15 sand sculptors worldwide, who have created 45 themed sand sculptures featuring over 40 character figures.
This year’s festival, themed around Line Friends, brings beloved global characters like “Line Friends”, “BT21”, “Minini”, “Joguman” and “Dinotaeng” to life in golden sand sculptures.
Fulong Beach is renowned for its unique quartz sand, which the World Sand Sculpting Association has recognised as the best location in Taiwan for sand sculpture art. Since 2008, it has become the birthplace of Taiwan’s large-scale outdoor sand sculpture festivals, drawing tens of thousands of visitors each year.
