Yong'an North Coast Recreational Area Introduction
Is the crowded fishing port preventing you from truly experiencing the beauty of coastal ecology? Then head to the Yong'an North Coast Recreation Area! With fewer tourists and more vibrant experiences, you can leisurely stroll along the riverside path and closely observe the rich wetland ecology. You can also climb the observation pavilion for a sweeping view of the Taiwan Strait, embracing the boundless scenery. The adventure awaits at Yong'an North Coast! From the parking lot beside the Rainbow Bridge, you can access the riverside path on the Houhu Creek levee, which is about 600 meters long, featuring a wide and easy-to-walk pebble surface with wooden railings on both sides. Along the way, there are stone benches and wooden pavilions where travelers can sit down and enjoy the refreshing sea breeze while quietly watching the adorable tide crabs and water birds foraging in the wetland, offering a soothing experience. The trail ends at the seaside park, which has recreational facilities such as a climbing wall and rope bridge. Walking into the thicket, you will find a concrete bridge spanning the river. Walking up and looking upstream, you'll see reeds covering the water, while downstream, many anglers can be seen fishing by the creek. At the other end of the concrete bridge, a vast expanse of Casuarina windbreak forest, once the largest of its kind in Taiwan, awaits. Walking along the wooden plank road set up among the trees, the dense foliage softens the sunlight that falls down, making riverside walking even more enjoyable. The more than 200-meter-long wooden path leads to the Xinbin Houhu Creek Bridge. To the left is the Observation Pavilion, a two-story wooden viewing platform where many travelers often take a break. The adjacent coastal walking path marks the northern boundary of Yong'an North Coast Recreation Area, stretching about 700 meters. For travelers looking to get closer to nature, the northern coast is a great choice compared to the busy fishing port; listen to the rhythmic waves lapping against the shore and enjoy the dazzling expanse of the Taiwan Strait under the sunlight, as the beauty of this hidden gem captivates you.
