Peinan Great Canal Water Conservancy Park Introduction
Beinan Canal is a historic irrigation canal that was first built in the 31st year of the Meiji era (1898) and has undergone multiple renovations. At that time, Beinan Township belonged to a special administrative region, and Han Chinese were prohibited from farming until the 11th year of the Showa era (1936), when the Japanese, seeking military supplies, renovated it again. It was completed in the 16th year of Showa, and the scale of the canal was expanded, which led to a large influx of Han Chinese settlers who established communities. The Taitung Agricultural Irrigation Association, recognizing the vast area of land utilizing Beinan Canal's water, and its location between two well-known attractions, the Little Huangshan and the Lijiyu Badlands, decided to renovate it with the concept of ecological diversity, particularly enhancing greenery and recreational facilities. Beinan Large Canal Water Conservancy Park is also one of the attractions along the Taitung Mountain-Sea Bicycle Path, located approximately 8 to 9 kilometers in the clockwise direction from the Taitung Railway Art Village.
