Millennium Sunrise Memorial Park Introduction
The Millennium Sunrise Memorial Park is named after January 1, 2000, when the world celebrated the arrival of the 21st century with a Millennium Sunrise Concert held on this beach, simultaneously broadcast to 25 countries, making the waters of Taimali the focus of global attention. Since then, an annual New Year's Eve music festival has been held here, featuring interactive family experiences, live band performances, traditional Indigenous music and dance, and a flag-raising ceremony among many other exciting events. The Paiwan language term for Taimali, "Ja.Bau.Li," means "the place where the sun rises," making Taimali a land of sunrise. Welcoming the first rays of sunlight in the Land of Sunrise has become one of Taiwan's iconic New Year's events. The park also features the "Sunrise Memorial Wall" and the "Sunrise Monument," which you shouldn't miss! When traveling with family along the Southern Cross-Island Highway, consider stopping by the Millennium Sunrise Memorial Park to enjoy the beautiful evening glow, feel the sea breeze, and dip your feet in the water to wash away the fatigue from commuting.
