Asizaki Beach Recreation Area Introduction
Located in Fengbin Township, Shizhao Bay is approximately 40 kilometers from Hualien City, surrounded by mountains with a prominent 100-meter-high rock formation called Big Stone Nose Mountain at its southern end, creating a stunningly beautiful landscape. Shizhao Beach features a 2.5-kilometer-long fine and soft sandy beach. During the winter high tide, the seabed sand appears gray-black, while in the summer, the sands shine golden under the sunlight when the tide recedes, making it an ideal place for water recreation activities. It has been developed into a seaside recreational area, complete with a swimming beach, paragliding launch site, wooden camping area, and dining facilities, making it a perfect spot for summer fun along the East Coast. To the west of Shizhao Bay is Shizhao Village, home to the coastal Amis people, and to the south, there remains an area used by fishermen for their raft entrances, where they often take anglers out to the reef for fishing. Additionally, fishermen catch various species such as sweetfish by angling or target squid at night. To the south of Shizhao Bay, there is a 910-meter-long Big Stone Nose Mountain Trail, mostly consisting of wooden walkways. Visitors can follow the trail's steps and observe the ecological diversity and topographical scenery, reaching a summit with expansive views—it is a natural ecological trail suitable for family outings.
