Peinan Great Canal Water Conservancy Park Introduction
Beinan Canal is a historic waterway that was 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 where Han people were prohibited from cultivation. It wasn't until the 11th year of the Showa era (1936) that the Japanese renovated it again to secure military supplies, and the project was completed in the 16th year of the Showa era, expanding the scale of the canal and allowing a large number of Han people to move in and establish settlements. The Taitung Agricultural Water Conservancy Association, recognizing the broad area of water usage from Beinan Canal and its location between the famous scenic spots of Little Huang Mountain and Rigi Badlands in Taitung, decided to renovate it with an emphasis on ecological diversity, particularly enhancing green beautification and recreational facilities. Beinan Great Canal Water Conservancy Park is also one of the attractions along the Taitung Mountain-Sea Cycling Route, located approximately 8 to 9 kilometers clockwise from Taitung Railway Art Village.
