Yongzhen Coastal Recreation Area Introduction
If you want to enjoy sand and waves during the hot summer, or leisurely appreciate the Pacific Ocean and Guishan Island, the Yongzheng Coastal Recreation Area can satisfy all of these! It takes about three or four minutes to walk from the slope beside Yongzheng Temple to the park. The vast ocean views and stretching beaches are the main attractions for both adults and children. The area features walkways and viewing pavilions that allow for a distant view of Guishan Island, making it an excellent spot to enjoy the "Sunrise at Guishan" during the summer solstice, as well as the rare sight of the sun above the turtle's head, attracting many photography enthusiasts. The coastal vegetation in the recreation area serves to stabilize the sand and prevent wind erosion, often turning into a green sand dune during the summer. Located between the mouths of Lanyang River and Zhuan'an River, the area uniquely serves as a habitat for various bird species. Therefore, visiting here offers not only water play and the splendid views of Guishan but also a thriving plant ecosystem and bird colonies, allowing visitors to personally experience the pulse of nature. In addition to coastal recreation and natural ecology, there is also a rich local cultural atmosphere worth exploring. The nearby Yongzheng Temple has a long history and continues to thrive, with the main deity being the Saint King of Kaizhang. Every year on the 15th day of the second month in the lunar calendar, a birthday celebration for the Saint King includes traditional rituals such as firewalking, attracting many devotees to come for worship, creating a lively scene.
