Duli Park Introduction
The Duli Recreational Area is located at approximately 124.5K on Provincial Highway 11, adjacent to Duli Village. In the past, the Amis people referred to this place as "katomayan," which means "a place where bears appear." Besides serving as the administrative center of the East Coast National Scenic Area, the park includes the Duli Visitor Center, Amis Folk Center, a large parking lot, and outdoor recreational and performance spaces. Its elevated terrain provides stunning views of the beautiful Pacific Ocean and breathtaking sunrises and moonrises. It is not only an important information hub for tourists seeking information on East Coast travel but also a significant spot for tour operators guiding visits. Additionally, it is a favored place for locals to picnic, let their children play, and enjoy time with pets. In recent years, during the spring and summer peak travel seasons, the Duli Recreational Area has hosted lively events such as the "East Coast Earth Art Festival," moonlight music concerts, and markets, which incorporate tribal cultural heritage, local artistic creations, and innovative forms of domestic tourism. Visitors can enjoy the stunning landscapes and diverse cultural scenes of the East Coast during these events. Over the years, the Duli Recreational Area has not only provided complete tourist services but has also turned into a large art museum filled with artistic and cultural charm. Inside the Duli Visitor Center, the permanent exhibition features the works of East Coast artist "Lahki Tsai," titled "Traveling in a Space of 50 Steps." Outdoors, the venue combines green lawns with breathtaking sea views, showcasing installations from past East Coast Earth Art Festivals, such as "Bubble Scenery," "The Most Powerful Tenderness," "Transformation," "Gaze of the Year 5390," and "Waiting Drift," created by domestic and international artists, making it a popular hotspot for tourists to interact and take photos. Parking at Duli Recreational Area is very convenient, and visitors wishing to arrive via public transport can take the "Taiwan Good Travel - East Coast Line" and get off at the "Amis Folk Center" stop to reach the area. To allow those who cannot visit in person to enjoy the East Coast scenery, the East Coast National Scenic Area Administration set up real-time live footage above the visitor center in 2020. Through high-resolution cameras, it broadcasts local weather and scenery 24 hours a day, and those interested can visit the YouTube channel for a virtual tour. Upon entering the indoor area of the Duli Visitor Center on the first floor, visitors will find the newly opened immersive exhibition area, which integrates digital technology with local culture, centered on the theme of "Stories of the East Coast." Through a blend of projections and interactive elements, it guides the public to explore the myths, natural ecology, and cultural values of the Amis people. It cleverly utilizes technology to enhance the enjoyment of learning, perfectly combining education and entertainment, allowing the public to appreciate the wisdom of life along the East Coast mountains and seas. The exhibition presents Amis legends through artistic forms, allowing visitors to deeply feel 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, bringing new vitality to the Duli Visitor Center, and symbolizing the continuity and transmission of East Coast culture and spirit.
