Dingliao Ecological Park Introduction
Located on the north bank of the new town creek in Su'ao, the park features recreational facilities such as pavilions, bird-watching platforms, walking paths, and fishing platforms, along with large wetlands that are rich in ecological resources, attracting migratory birds. Common bird species include the red dove, yellow-headed heron, brown marten, black-breasted blue magpie, little duck, and gray heron. It is also the endpoint of the southern section of the Yilan coastal cycling path, where riders can enjoy a pleasant experience with waterfowl at the end of their biking journey, adding diverse scenery and fun to Yilan's coastal tourism. Next to the park is a banyan tree park with large banyan trees displaying fascinating root systems. The area can be divided into a flat lakeside walking path and elevated viewing platforms with ecological boardwalks, featuring remnants of military bunkers. Geographically, it belongs to a "fixed dune" that will no longer be affected by wave action and is an older dune located further from the coast, populated with trees like Chinese neem and yellow hibiscus. From the viewing platform, one can overlook the ecological pond wetland, making it an ideal spot for birdwatching and leisurely walks.
