Duli Park Introduction
The Duli Scenic Area is located at approximately 124.5K on Taiwan Provincial Highway 11, adjacent to the Duli Tribe. The Amis people of Duli used to call this place "katomayan," which means "a place where bears appear." In addition to being the administrative center of the East Coast National Scenic Area under the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, the Duli Scenic Area also includes the Duli Visitor Center, Amis Cultural Center, a large parking lot, and outdoor recreation and performance spaces. Its elevated position allows visitors to enjoy the beautiful and expansive views of the Pacific Ocean, as well as stunning sunrises and moonrises. It serves as an important information hub for tourists visiting the East Coast, a key spot for tour operators to bring groups for guidance, and a popular choice for locals for picnics and outings with children and pets. Combining the annual activities organized by the East Coast Tourism Administration, the Duli Scenic Area hosts lively events such as the East Coast Land Art Festival, Moonlight Sea Concerts, and markets during the peak spring and summer travel seasons. These events integrate tribal cultural heritage, local artistic creations, and innovative forms of national tourism, allowing visitors to appreciate the breathtaking landscapes and diverse cultural customs of the East Coast during their visits. Over the years, the Duli Scenic Area has evolved into a large art space, filled with cultural and artistic charm while providing comprehensive visitor services. Inside the Duli Visitor Center, you can find a permanent exhibition of works by East Coast artist La Hekzi Dariluf titled "Traveling in a 50-Step Space," while outdoors, the area features a combination of green fields and stunning ocean views displaying installations from previous East Coast Land Art Festivals, such as "Bubble Scenic," "The Most Powerful Gentle," "Transformation," "Gazing at the Year 5390," and "Waiting for Drifting," by both domestic and international artists, all serving as hotspots for visitors to interact and take photos. The Duli Scenic Area offers convenient parking, and visitors arriving by public transport can take the "Taiwan Ride - East Coast Line," getting off at the "Amis Cultural Center" stop to reach the area. To allow those unable to visit in person to appreciate the East Coast views of the Duli Scenic Area, the East Coast Tourism Administration installed real-time imaging above the Visitor Center in 2020. Through high-resolution cameras, they transmit local weather and scenery 24/7, which can be viewed on their YouTube channel. Upon entering the Duli Visitor Center, visitors can find the newly opened immersive exhibition area on the first floor, launched in December 2024. This new exhibit combines digital technology with local culture, centered on the theme of "Eastern Coastal Storybook," using an interplay of projections and interactions to lead the public to explore Amis mythology, natural ecology, and cultural values. It cleverly uses technology to enhance the learning experience, perfectly merging education and entertainment, enabling the audience to feel the wisdom of life along the eastern coast. Through artistic forms, the exhibition recreates Amis legends, allowing visitors to grasp the depth of culture and the captivating stories of life. Students engage intently with interactive devices and visual scenes, fully appreciating the richness and beauty of local culture, injecting fresh vitality into the Duli Visitor Center and symbolizing the continuity and transmission of East Coast culture and spirit.
