It's definitely true that in recent years the number of people heading to this heaven on earth has been on the rise, answering the call of the film Cape No. 7 to "shake off the limitations and depression of being an average, workaday Taiwanese" and to "get lost in the feeling of lying on a beach at once familiar and foreign," in the words of Shu Guozhi.
確實，這幾年嚮往「天堂」的人越來越多，極能對應電影《海角七號》所召喚的集體情緒──「釋放平日做『標準台灣人』累積的刻板與悶滯」，「去到一處他既像是熟悉又像是陌生的天涯海角沙灘去胡亂躺倒同心一醉。」
