On Monday, a couple from Hong Kong got their rented car stuck on a sandy beach in Taitung on their romantic road trip. They saw a four-wheeler driving onto the beach, and followed without hesitation. But their car was simply not built for it. Without sufficient power, the car only sank deeper into the sand with the press of the accelerator. Eventually, they got help from the police, turning the nightmarish scenario into just a small hiccup to never forget.

A white sedan is stuck on the sandy beach. A man in black tries to lift it up from a tire with a large piece of wood, but it’s no use. The car won’t move an inch.

Driving it away is also out of the question. Worse, the push of the accelerator only forces the vehicle deeper into the sand. As the waves come ever closer, the driver has no other option but to call the police for help.

- Nobody’s hurt?
- No.
- Only the car’s stuck.
- The sea water was closer just now, and the car couldn’t move.

The incident occurred on Monday, at Zhiben Beach in Taitung, to a couple from Hong Kong. They were on a road trip with a rented car. When they saw an off-road vehicle moving toward the sandy beach, they followed without hesitation. But as soon as the wheels touched the sand, the vehicle sunk right in and couldn’t break free.

- Those cars are four-wheel drive.
- Yours is a two-wheel drive only.

When the police and rescuers arrived, they had thought that couple might have gotten trapped. But luckily, all they needed to do was to free the vehicle from the sand, using a four-wheel drive vehicle with a winch. In the end, it was a largely harmless and unforgettable experience on the couple’s road trip.
