Dingliao Ecological Park Introduction
Located on the north bank of the Xincheng River in Su'ao, the park features recreational facilities such as pavilions, birdwatching platforms, trails, and fishing platforms, along with large areas of wetlands that are rich in ecological resources, attracting migratory birds. Common bird species include the red dove, yellow-headed heron, brown sand martin, black-crowned night heron, little grebe, and gray heron. It is also the endpoint of the southern segment of the Yilan Coastal Bicycle Path, allowing cyclists to enjoy the company of water birds at the end of their journey, adding diverse scenery and fun to coastal tourism in Yilan. Next to the park is a banyan tree park with large banyan trees' intricate root systems, presenting fascinating sights. The park can be divided into flat lakeside walking trails and elevated viewing platforms and ecological boardwalks, featuring remnants of military bunkers. The area is classified as "fixed dunes" that are no longer subjected to the action of ocean waves and is an older dune located further away from the coast, with the growth of trees such as chinaberry and yellow hibiscus. From the viewing platforms, one can overlook the ecological pond wetland, making it an ideal spot for birdwatching and leisurely walks.
