Duli Park Introduction
The Duli Scenic Area is located at approximately 124.5K on Provincial Highway 11, adjacent to the Duli Village. In the past, the Amis people referred to this place as "katomayan," which means "a place where bears appear." This area serves not only as the administrative center for the Eastern Coast National Scenic Area under the Ministry of Transportation and Communications but also includes the Duli Visitor Center, Amis Folklore Center, a large parking lot, and outdoor recreational and performance spaces. With its elevated terrain, visitors can enjoy the breathtaking views of the beautiful Pacific Ocean, as well as stunning sunrises and moonrises. It is an important hub for tourists to obtain travel information about the eastern coast and a significant site for tour operators to take groups for visits and explanations. Additionally, it has become a popular spot for locals to picnic, play with children, and engage with pets. In recent years, the Duli Scenic Area has hosted lively events during the spring and summer tourist seasons, including the "Eastern Coast Earth Art Festival," moonlight concert, and markets, combining tribal cultural heritage with local artistic creation and innovative forms of tourism. This allows visitors to appreciate the stunning landscapes and diverse cultural nuances of the eastern coast while participating in these activities. Over the years, the Duli Scenic Area has not only provided comprehensive tourist services but also resembles a large art museum full of artistic and cultural charm. Within the Duli Visitor Center, there is a permanent exhibition of the works of eastern coast artist Laizih Daliu titled "Traveling in a Space of 50 Steps." Outdoors, the area features a combination of grassy green spaces and unbeatable ocean views, showcasing installation art from the Eastern Coast Earth Art Festival over the years, including works like "Landscapes of Bubble," "The Strongest Gentle," "Transformation," "Gaze of 5390," and "Waiting Drift," all of which have become popular hotspots for travelers to interact and take photos. Parking at the Duli Scenic Area is very convenient, and visitors wishing to arrive via public transportation can take the "Taiwan Good Travel - Eastern Coast Line" and get off at the "Amis Folklore Center" stop to reach the area. To allow those who cannot visit in person to enjoy the eastern coast scenery of the Duli Scenic Area, in 2020, the management office installed real-time imaging above the visitor center. Through high-resolution cameras, local weather and scenery are broadcast 24/7, and interested individuals can explore the area through the YouTube channel. Once inside, on the first floor of the Duli Visitor Center, the newly opened Immersive Area introduced in December 2023 combines digital technology and local culture. Centered around the "Storybook of the Eastern Coast," the new exhibition area employs projections and interactive elements to lead visitors in exploring Amis legends, natural ecology, and cultural values. It cleverly utilizes technology to enhance learning enjoyment, perfectly blending education and entertainment, allowing the public to experience the wisdom of life along the eastern coast. The exhibition reproduces Amis legends through artistic forms, enabling participants to deeply appreciate the rich cultural heritage and the captivating stories of life. Students focus on exploring interactive devices and visual scenes, fully experiencing the depth and beauty of local culture, injecting new vitality into the Duli Visitor Center and symbolizing the continuity and transmission of eastern coast cultural spirit.
