Waiao Service Area Introduction
On a hot summer day, if you're looking for a refreshing beach trip, consider visiting the Wai'ao Service Area. This bright yellow building, designed by renowned architect Yao Ren-Hsiang, resembles a paraglider and a large ship, featuring a highly modern appearance with multiple interpretations. Feel free to use your imagination and personally experience the uniqueness of this architecture. The yellow exterior against the blue sky and sea faces Turtle Island, offering a private wetland beach and a beautiful blue coastal path. As the morning and evening sunlight reflects off the ocean, the silhouettes of playing tourists create a picturesque scene, complementing the beauty of the sunrise over Turtle Island and the whimsical turtle-shaped rock formations. In addition to stunning scenery, Wai'ao Beach is a surfing paradise, with shops nearby offering surfing lessons for beginners eager to enjoy the thrill of riding the waves, along with exciting water activities like banana boating. On a hill nearby, there's a paragliding base where you can soar into the sky and overlook the entire coastline of Wai'ao, providing a beautiful and spectacular view. This area offers a rich variety of land, sea, and air activities that attract many adventurous visitors. The service area includes a free foot wash area and a paid shower section, while the indoor No. 9 Café serves coffee, snacks, and inquiry services. With large floor-to-ceiling windows, you can enjoy stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and Turtle Island, making it known as the café closest to the beach. After a day of fun in the water, travelers can come here to indulge in delicious food and relax while taking in the scenic views.
