Liuchiu Management Station and Visitor Center Introduction
The Liuqiu Management Station and Visitor Center is located on a hillside next to the Baisha Tourist Port and is a three-story building. Due to the slope, the main entrance is on the second floor, where the lobby features a travel information counter staffed with specialists providing real-time tourist consultation services. It is equipped with dynamic and static tourism guidance facilities and a large presentation (conference) room that can accommodate 75 people, offering services for holding large meetings and guided tours for groups. Outdoors, there is an entrance square, a sea view platform, and a shop. The first floor is the office of the management station, which is not open to visitors, but the outdoor viewing platform is available for tourists to rest and enjoy the view of Baisha Tourist Port and the beautiful sea scenery. The third floor serves as the dormitory area, which is also not open to tours. The Liuqiu Management Station and Visitor Center was formerly the Liuqiu Township Library, established in 1995. In 2000, Liuqiu Township was included in the management scope of the Dapeng Bay National Scenic Area. Due to initial difficulties in acquiring land in Liuqiu Township, the township office lent part of the Liuqiu Township Library space as a temporary office for the management station and visitor center. To enhance recreational service quality and respond to the annual increase in tourist numbers in the Liuqiu Scenic Specific Area, in 2009, the Dapeng Bay National Scenic Area Administration obtained permission from the township office to temporarily utilize the land and building of the Liuqiu Township Library on a compensated basis and planned to renovate it into a permanent Liuqiu Management Station and Visitor Center. After the renovation, it officially opened in 2012. The overall appearance features red tiles and white walls, showcasing an island style while integrating elements of mixed architecture, such as a European-style spire roof, columns, and corridor designs, making the management station building unique and distinct from other buildings on Liuqiu Island, thus becoming a new local attraction.
