Beinan Cultural Park Introduction
The Beinan Cultural Park is a site that simultaneously showcases and explores prehistoric culture, indigenous culture, and natural landscapes. The open environment and museum continue to conduct archaeological work while also displaying and preserving significant aspects of the Beinan Cultural Park. Visitors can learn about the Beinan site and its culture in the exhibition hall; visit archaeological sites and the moon-shaped stone pillars to view remnants from a thousand years ago; and admire the park's surroundings from the observation decks on both sides. If lucky, they might even witness ongoing archaeological excavations. The outdoor environment features a 1:1 scale reproduction of prehistoric houses, as well as structures like the meeting house and residential buildings of the Puyuma people. The site park is also an open green space, making it an excellent location for recreation for visitors and the public alike. The Beinan site is the largest of its kind in Taiwan, possessing the most complete data on prehistoric settlement patterns, and it also houses the largest slate coffin burial site in the Pacific Rim and Southeast Asia. With vast lawns, the park includes an exhibition hall and performance square, as well as routes for visiting natural plant forests and archaeological sites. From the observation deck, one can enjoy a panoramic view of Beinan River, the Lijia Badlands, and Taitung City. Strolling across the expansive lawns reconnects visitors with the past, allowing them to witness the history and ancient stories hidden within, making it a destination that offers both intellectual and emotional experiences.
