Peinan Canal Water Conservancy Park Introduction
Beinan Canal is a historically significant water canal, originally built 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 Chinese were prohibited from entering and cultivating the land. It wasn't until the 11th year of the Showa era (1936) that the Japanese renovated it again for military food supplies, and it was completed in the 16th year of Showa, expanding the scale of the canal, which led to a large influx of Han Chinese who established settlements. The Taitung Agricultural Water Conservancy Association, recognizing the wide area of land for water usage in Beinan Canal, and being located between two famous attractions in Taitung, Xiaohuang Mountain and the Liji Badlands, decided to renovate with the concept of ecological diversity, particularly enhancing greening and recreational facilities. Beinan Large Canal Water Conservancy Park is also one of the attractions along the Taitung Mountain-Sea Cycling Path, located approximately 8 to 9 kilometers from the Taitung Railway Art Village when traveling in a clockwise direction.
