Caiyuan Wetlands Introduction
Caiceng Wetland is located at the bottom of Bay on the northeast coast of Magong Inner Harbor, bordered to the north by Shuanghu Garden and Xingren Reservoir along Highway 205, to the east by Xingren Jinshidi along Highway 201, to the west by Caiceng Life Memorial Park, and to the south by the intertidal zone of Caiceng Fish Pond. During the Japanese colonial period, fish ponds were already established along the eastern coast of Caiceng; after 1945, the area of the fish ponds gradually expanded. In 1971, after the fishing stopped, this wetland became the best place for birds to stop, winter, and migrate. Nearby, at Caiceng Fishing Port, operators can take tourists to observe cage farming and oyster farming in the inner sea, as well as fishing for squid and feeding groupers. Along the coast, there are windbreak forests and embankments, with informational signs set up for visitors to stroll, birdwatch, and enjoy the sea, making it quite pleasant. The current state of the wetland includes "Xingren Reservoir and afforestation area, Shuanghu Garden and mangrove wetland, Caiceng Fish Pond area, and Caiceng intertidal coastal area." This wetland is the most suitable location in Magong City for ecological tourism and outdoor education. The wetland encompasses a diverse range of natural wetland types with vast sea areas, large in scale, and conveniently located near downtown Magong, meeting the standards and conditions for a national and wetland park.
