Shuangchun Coastal Recreation Area Introduction
Shuangchun Coastal Recreation Area is an ecological leisure spot located in Beimen, Tainan. The park features a mangrove observation area that showcases four precious native mangrove species in Taiwan: Aegiceras corniculatum, Avicennia marina, Kandelia obovata, and Brugueira gymnorhiza (also known as five-leaf clove). It is an ideal place to visit with children to learn about the unique ecology of Taiwan. Before it became a recreation area, the site was primarily used for fish farming, known as Yongchun. The area was later expanded, resulting in the formation of Inner and Outer Yongchun, thus becoming today's "Shuangchun." The Shuangchun Coastal Recreation Area features two wooden boardwalks running north and south, constructed between the mangroves and windbreak forests, allowing visitors to closely observe wetland ecology. Besides mangroves, the area is also home to mudskippers, fiddler crabs, and various water birds, making Shuangchun an attractive destination. The mangrove ecological boardwalk immerses visitors in a green tunnel; unlike the Sihcao Green Tunnel, Shuangchun's green tunnel is a land-based version where travelers can leisurely stroll and enjoy the romantic atmosphere surrounded by lush greenery. In addition to the mangrove ecological path, Shuangchun Coastal Recreation Area boasts beautiful golden sandy beaches, where many travelers enjoy the spectacular view of the sunset sinking into the sea during the evening. There is also a water-themed stargazing camping area, with pure white tents situated by the seaside, creating a picturesque scene.
