Dingliao Ecological Park Introduction
Located on the north bank of the New Town Stream in Su'ao, the park features recreational facilities such as pavilions, birdwatching platforms, walking trails, and fishing platforms, along with large wetlands rich in ecological resources that attract migratory birds. Common bird species include the red dove, yellow-headed heron, brown shrike, black-crowned night heron, little grebe, and heron. It also marks the endpoint of the southern section of the Yilan Coastal Bicycle Path, allowing cyclists to enjoy the company of waterfowl 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 sprawling roots and remarkable scenery. The area can be divided into a flat lakeside walking trail and high viewing platforms with ecological boardwalks, which are home to relics of military bunkers. The terrain is classified as "fixed dunes," which are no longer affected by coastal wave action and are older dunes situated farther from the coast, where tree species such as the neem and hibiscus grow. From the viewing platform, visitors can overlook the ecological pond wetland, making it a suitable spot for birdwatching and leisurely walks.
