Peinan Grand Canal Water Conservancy Park Introduction
Beinan Canal is a historically significant waterway, originally constructed in the 31st year of the Meiji era (1898) and has undergone multiple renovations. At that time, Beinan Township was part of a special administrative region, and Han people were prohibited from settling and cultivating the land. It wasn't until the 11th year of the Showa era (1936) that the Japanese renovated the canal again to ensure military food supplies. The work was completed in the 16th year of the Showa era, and with the expansion of the canal, a large number of Han people migrated in and established settlements. The Taitung Irrigation Association, recognizing the vast area of land utilizing Beinan Canal water and its location between two famous scenic spots in Taitung, Xiaohuangshan and Liji Badland, decided to renovate it based on the concept of ecological diversity, particularly enhancing green beautification and recreational facilities. Beinan Grand Canal Water Park is also one of the attractions along the Taitung Mountain-Sea Cycling Path, located about 8 to 9 kilometers in a clockwise direction from the Taitung Railway Art Village.
