Nantian Coastal Ecological Park Introduction
Nantian Coastal Recreation Park is located between the Upper Nantian Village and Lower Nantian Village in Dajin Township. By following Provincial Highway 9 and switching to Provincial Highway 26, you will reach the vast Pacific Ocean after about 200 meters, where you can enjoy a variety of stunning views of the ocean that change with the weather. Stroll through the park and feel the gentle breeze. On the coast next to the recreation park, you can see Nantian stones, which are black in appearance and covered with white quartz. Each Nantian stone has a unique pattern, and their smooth surfaces make them a target for many stone collectors. (A small reminder: Taitung County Government has announced a ban on taking Nantian stones, so please enjoy their beauty on the beach!) In addition to Nantian Coastal Recreation Park, you can also take a short drive to Nantian Village and the Nantian Cultural Scenic Viewpoint. The southernmost village in Taitung, Nantian Village is home to the Paiwan people, who have created a "Village Library" as a place for gaining knowledge and wisdom. The library's exterior is adorned with totems of a hundred-step snake and ladybug, reflecting the rich culture of the Paiwan people. The Nantian Cultural Scenic Viewpoint offers a panoramic view of Nantian Coastal Recreation Park and Nantian Village. Next to the viewpoint, there is a 500-meter-long Dajin Township Cultural Scenic Bicycle Path that leads uphill for a broader ocean view!
