Beinan Large Irrigation Water Conservation Park Introduction
Beinan Canal is a historic waterway, originally constructed in the 31st year of the Meiji era (1898) and undergoing multiple renovations. At that time, Beinan Township was part of a special administrative region, and Han Chinese were prohibited from entering for cultivation. It wasn't until the 11th year of the Showa era (1936) that the Japanese renovated it again for military food supply, and it was completed in the 16th year of the Showa era, expanding the scale of the canal, which allowed a large number of Han people to migrate in and establish settlements. The Taitung Irrigation Association, recognizing the vast area of the Beinan Canal's water usage and its location between the well-known scenic spots of Little Yellow Mountain and the Liji Badlands in Taitung, decided to renovate it with a focus on ecological diversity, particularly enhancing green beautification and recreational facilities. Beinan Great Canal Water Park is also one of the attractions along the Taitung Mountain-Sea Cycling Path, located about 8 to 9 kilometers away in a clockwise direction from the Taitung Railway Art Village.
