Waiao Service Area Introduction
On a hot summer day, if you're looking for a refreshing beach getaway, consider visiting the Waisanding Service Area. This bright yellow building, designed by renowned architect Yao Ren-Hsi, resembles both a parachute and a large ship, showcasing a modern aesthetic filled with multiple interpretations. Feel free to unleash your imagination and personally experience the uniqueness of this structure. The yellow exterior contrasts beautifully with the blue sky and ocean, directly facing Guishan Island and surrounded by a stretch of wet sand beach, complemented by a scenic blue seawall promenade. As the morning and evening sunlight reflects off the sea, the silhouettes of playing tourists create a picturesque scene, harmonizing with the sunrise over Guishan and the delightful sight of a turtle wearing a hat. In addition to its breathtaking views, Waisanding Beach is also a paradise for surfers, with shops offering surfing lessons so even beginners can enjoy the thrill of riding the waves, along with exciting water activities like banana boating. Nearby, there is a paragliding base atop the mountains where you can soar into the sky and overlook the entire coastline of Waisanding, offering stunning and magnificent views. The diverse range of activities on land, in the sea, and in the air attracts many tourists eager for adventure. The service area thoughtfully includes a free foot-washing area and a paid shower facility. Inside, Café No. 9 offers coffee, light snacks, and inquiry services. With large floor-to-ceiling windows, visitors can enjoy breathtaking coastal views of the Pacific Ocean and the beauty of Turtle Islet. It is reputed to be the café closest to the beach, making it a perfect spot for travelers to indulge in food, appreciate the scenery, and relax after a day of water activities.
