Beinan Great Canal Park Introduction
Beinan Canal is a historical irrigation canal that was originally built in the 31st year of the Meiji era (1898) and underwent multiple renovations. At that time, Beinan Township was part of a special administrative district where Han Chinese were prohibited from settling until the 11th year of the Showa era (1936), when the Japanese repaired it again for military food supplies. It was completed in the 16th year of the Showa era, and with an expanded scale, a large number of Han Chinese migrated in and established settlements. The Taitung Irrigation Association recognized the extensive area of land using water from Beinan Canal, and situated between the famous attractions of Xiaohuang Mountain and Liji Badlands in Taitung, decided to renovate it with the concept of ecological diversity, particularly enhancing greenery and recreational facilities. Beinan Big Canal Water Conservancy Park is also one of the attractions along the Taitung Mountain-Sea Bicycle Path, located approximately 8 to 9 kilometers from the Taitung Railway Art Village, heading in a clockwise direction.
