Shuangchun Coastal Recreation Area Introduction
Shuangchun Coastal Recreation Area is an ecological recreation site located in Beimen, Tainan. The park includes a mangrove observation area that features four precious native mangrove species in Taiwan: Avicennia marina, Kandelia obovata, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, and Sonneratia caseolaris (also known as five pear-shaped). It is suitable for visiting with children to learn about Taiwan's unique ecology. Before becoming a recreation area, this place primarily focused on fish ponds for aquaculture, known as Yongchun, which later expanded to include both Inner and Outer Yongchun, thus becoming today's "Shuangchun." The Shuangchun Coastal Recreation Area has two wooden boardwalks running north and south, situated between the mangroves and the windbreak forest, allowing visitors to observe wetland ecology up close. Besides the mangroves, the charming sights of fiddler crabs, mudskippers, and waterfowl add to the allure of Shuangchun. The mangrove ecological boardwalk immerses visitors in a green tunnel; unlike the Four Fathoms Green Tunnel, Shuangchun's green tunnel is land-based, offering travelers a leisurely stroll within a romantic atmosphere surrounded by greenery. In addition to the mangrove ecological trail, the Shuangchun Coastal Recreation Area also features beautiful golden beaches, where many travelers appreciate the spectacular sunset over the horizon. There is also a waterside stargazing camping area with pure white tents situated along the coast, creating a picturesque scene.
