Lanwan Seaside Recreation Area Introduction
Compared to the convenience of traffic at Fulong Beach, getting here requires additional public transportation or biking, which adds to its sense of seclusion. You can even look forward to enjoying a comfortable time on the entire beach all to yourself! The golden sandy beach of Lanwan Coastal Recreation Area stretches for 3 kilometers, reaching the golden coast of Fulong. The best way to explore is to rent a bicycle and ride along the smooth and easy coastal bike path, enjoying the unique dune plants and shimmering Shuangxi River along the way. After crossing the Longmen Suspension Bridge and taking in the expansive views, you will arrive at your destination. The park has everything, with a beach that is loved by both children and adults, featuring soft and fine quartz sand. There are also ecological trails, occasional special events, a barbecue area and dining section, DIY experiences, and various landscape art, offering more than just sand sculptures for fun. You can't help but notice the "Yanliao Anti-Japanese Monument" standing by the beach, quietly recounting the past. During the 1895 Biyong War, Yanliao was the first landing point for the Japanese military, marking the beginning of colonial rule, and a landing memorial was built here. After Taiwan's restoration, it was destroyed by the public, and in 1975, it was rebuilt using the original pedestal as the current Anti-Japanese Monument to commemorate this history of resistance. In addition to feeling the historical sentiment, you cannot miss the landscape art created from nature here, combining the golden coast with sand sculptures, driftwood, iron pieces, bamboo, and wind chimes to tell various stories, infusing the park with indigenous elements and a strong tropical ambiance. If you wish to take a break and quench your thirst, you can visit the uniquely styled Lanwan Coffee, where you can sip coffee and light snacks in a charming imitation Minnan-style building, feel the sea breeze, and enjoy the tranquility of this beautiful place.
