Fulong International Sand Sculpture Art Festival is organized by the Northeast and Yiland Coast National Scenic Area
Administration which has extensive experience in organizing various events. Successes from the past have led to an increasing
number of people participating at this event every year and made Fulong a second to none spot for people who are crazy about sand
sculpture in Taiwan. For its soft, highly cohesive white quartz sands, Fulong beach is acknowledged by the World Sand Sculpting
Association to be the best for making sand sculptures in Taiwan.
It has been ten years since the Administration held the first Fulong International Sand Sculpture Art Festival in 2008. This
summer, many skilled sand sculptors will present to the public a magical castle of golden quartz sands that they have built at 2017
Fulong International Sand Sculpture Art Festival. This 13-meter-high sand castle is built to symbolize the great success from the past
at Fulong beach. This Taiwan's tallest-ever sand sculpture is definitely going to amaze all the visitors.
A total of 22 outstanding artists from 13 foreign countries around the world were invited by the organizers to show off their skills.
This year's international contest will take the theme, "hero", and 20 "hero" sand sculptures will be created by the international artists
and be displayed around the 13-meter-high castle to create an image of heroes protecting the castle. In addition, the Sand Sculpture
Display area uses a 10-year-old girl as its main character to create a fairytale-like atmosphere. Visitors are going to witness all kinds
of sand sculptures in the world of fantasy to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Fulong International Sand Sculpture Art Festival.
We would like to express our gratitude to all the staff members and non-governmental organizations. With their devotion
and support, Fulong International Sand Sculpture Art Festival becomes a renowned world-class artistic festival which provides a
magnificent visual show to visitors from all over the world. Their efforts have helped and contributed to making this 2017 Fulong
International Sand Sculpture Art Festival a fabulous success.
