Eight Immortals Cave Visitor Center Introduction
The Bajiaokeng, which features both geological landscapes and prehistoric sites, is located on a cliff facing the sea in Changbin Township, Taitung County. It has several naturally formed sea-eroded caves scattered across a cliff 150 meters high. These caves were once at sea level but are now elevated due to the uplifting of the crust along the eastern coast, where waves have eroded the softer parts of the rock wall. Bajiaokeng currently has trails leading to various sea-eroded caves, among which the largest is Lingyan Cave; the highest above ground is Kunlun Cave, which stands at 130 meters. Other caves include Qianyuan Cave, Chaochen Cave, Hailai Cave, Chaoyin Cave, Yong'an Cave, and Shuilian Cave. Many of the caves are used for religious altars, which imparts a religious significance to their names. Bajiaokeng is also an important prehistoric site, where a wealth of Paleolithic pottery culture was discovered, named "Changbin Culture," which is known to be the oldest prehistoric cultural site in Taiwan and is of significant importance, categorized as a national-level historic site.
