Shanhu Bay Introduction
Suyuan Bay is the core area of Dulan, located along the Coastal Highway (Provincial Highway 11), just 12 kilometers from Taitung City. It takes only about 15 minutes to arrive from the city center, making it very convenient for transportation. On the way, you will also pass by Xiaoyeliu, allowing you to enjoy two attractions at once! Suyuan Bay features a crescent-shaped bay and a 1.5-kilometer-long beach with a gentle slope, fine sand, and clear waters without strong currents. It also has a complete coral reef community, making it ideal for water activities. The bay has begun to develop eco-recreational fishing, providing a full experience of interacting with fish and nature. Historical Background: Suyuan Bay holds significant cultural and historical meaning. It is the activity area for three Amis tribes (Jialulan, Citorong, and Dulan). The indigenous people refer to Suyuan Bay as "FUDAFUDAK," meaning "shimmering." Daily activities such as foraging and rituals among the indigenous people are closely related to Suyuan Bay. Nearby, there are cultural relics of the Peinan culture, such as the Fushan Site. If you want to experience the charm of both nature and indigenous history, Suyuan Bay is your best choice! Notes: When engaging in water recreation activities, please pay attention to your safety. There are orange buoys marking the warning line on the water surface, inside which is the lifeguard area. During periods when there are no lifeguards on duty, please be mindful of your own safety. In the lifeguard area, the public can enjoy beach activities and swimming; outside of the lifeguard area is the non-motorized water recreation zone, marked by white buoys indicating the entrance and exit for non-motorized vessels. You can participate in canoeing, SUP (Stand-Up Paddleboarding), and sailing with non-motorized small sailboats. Everyone is welcome to have fun in the water under safe conditions.
