Isoken Seaside Rest Area Introduction
Located in Fengbin Township, Jiqi Bay is about 40 kilometers from Hualien City, surrounded by mountains with a large rock formation known as Dashi Bi Mountain, approximately 100 meters high at its southern end. The scenery is exceptionally beautiful. Jiqi Beach features a soft and warm sandy shore that stretches 2.5 kilometers. During winter, the sea floor sand appears grayish-black during high tide, while in summer, when the tide recedes and sunlight shines upon it, it reveals a golden sandy beach, making it an ideal spot for water recreation activities. It has now been developed into a coastal recreational area, including a swimming beach, a paragliding take-off site, wooden camping areas, restaurants, and other leisure facilities, making it a perfect destination for summer water fun on the East Coast. To the west of Jiqi Bay is Jiqi Village, a settlement of the coastal Amis people. The southern side still features entry points for fishermen's rafts, with fishers often taking anglers out to reef areas for fishing. Additionally, some fishermen catch various types of fish, such as sashimi fish, or go night fishing for whitebait. At the southern tip of Jiqi Bay, there is a Dashi Bi Mountain Trail, which is 910 meters long, mostly consisting of wooden plank pathways. Visitors can observe the ecology and terrain along the undulating steps of the trail, and the view from the top is expansive, making it a suitable natural ecology trail for family outings.
