Beinan Site Park Introduction
Puyuma Cultural Park is a park that simultaneously showcases and explores the Beinan Site, featuring prehistoric culture, indigenous culture, and natural landscapes. The open environment and museum continue to conduct archaeological work, while also providing exhibition and preservation, which are the park's biggest characteristics. Visitors can learn about the Beinan site and culture in the exhibition hall; they can visit the archaeological site and the moon-shaped stone pillars to see the relics from a thousand years ago; and they can also take in the park's surroundings from the observation decks on both sides, where, if fortunate, they may even witness ongoing archaeological excavations. The outdoor environment reproduces 1:1 scale prehistoric houses, as well as the Puyuma youth association and residential buildings. The site park is also an open green space, making it an excellent place for recreation for both tourists and the public. The Beinan site is the largest archaeological site in Taiwan, with the most complete prehistoric settlement patterns and data, and it also contains the largest group of stone coffin tombs in the Pacific Rim and Southeast Asia. The park features expansive lawns, an exhibition hall, and a performance square, and there are also natural plant forests and tours of the archaeological site. Stepping onto the observation deck allows one to take in views of Beinan River, Lijia Badlands, and Taitung City, while wandering across the broad lawns offers a chance to reconnect with the past from a thousand years ago, witnessing the history and ancient stories behind it—making it a great destination for both intellectual and emotional journeys.
