Nantian Coastal Park Introduction
NanTian Coastal Recreation Park is located between the Upper NanTian and Lower NanTian villages in Dawu Township. From Provincial Highway 9, turn onto Provincial Highway 26 and proceed about 200 meters to see the vast Pacific Ocean, where you can enjoy the diverse beauty of the sea as the weather changes. Stroll through the park and feel the gentle breeze. Alongside the recreation park, visitors can find NanTian stones, which are dark gray with white quartz deposits. Each NanTian stone has a unique pattern and a smooth exterior, making them a target for many stone collectors. (A small reminder: The Taitung County Government has announced a strict prohibition on taking NanTian stones, so please enjoy their beauty on the beach!) In addition to NanTian Coastal Recreation Park, visitors can also explore the nearby NanTian Village and the NanTian Cultural Landscape Viewing Platform, just a few minutes' drive away. The southernmost part of Taitung, NanTian Village is a settlement of the Paiwan people, where the community has created a "Village Library" as a place to absorb knowledge and enhance wisdom. The library features totems such as the hundred-paced snake and ladybug, showcasing rich Paiwan culture. The NanTian Cultural Landscape Viewing Platform offers a panoramic view of NanTian Coastal Recreation Park and NanTian Village. Next to the viewing platform, there is a 500-meter-long cultural landscape bike path in Dawu Township, where you can ascend to enjoy an even broader ocean view!
