Second
Stop: Dongshan River Water Park |
| |
 |
The Dongshan River Water Park is based on
the themes of ‘Water’ and ‘Greenery’ and was built around the natural features
of the Dongshan River. It is an open space surrounded by water and greenery and
is suitable for a wide range of activities including tourism, recreation,
relaxation, and education.

3. Outdoor Theater: This is a semi-circular step theater built on
water. Looking out from the highest point of the theater, you will see a lineup
of five stones that project through the neck of Turtle Island (Guishan Island).
There is a boat pier on the right side, a wading pool on the left side and at
the rear-left there is a water park designed for families. |
4. |
Wading Pool: This is composed of several shallow pools with water
of ankle height. The white stones represent fences and the little crescent
walls represent leisurely swimming ducks. The whole display represents a
picture of duck growers in Ilan. |

porcelain chips, ceramic chips and marble balls |

The Double Dragon Water Park: This park has a green dragon at the

the green dragon. The south side is characterized by a yellow dragon made of
yellow mosaic. The dragon head faces the mountains. The two dragons hover over
the shore from a Birdseye view over the river. |
7. |
The Crouching Dragon Bridge is shaped after a dragon boat. The
little holes on the sides are the holes for the oars. Under the bridge is the
entrance of Dongshan River into the Water Park as well as an access point for
real dragon boats. |

miniature Tour of the Rivers. The pool has an average depth of 120cm; the

Third
stop: Tofu Cape (Su-Ao) |
| |
 |
The panoramic Tofu Cape is a natural
ocean park, highly suitable for wading, snorkeling, picnicking and swimming.
There are no Tofu rocks in this area, nor is the town famous for the food tofu
.Why then is this place called Tofu Cape? A photo, taken 35 years ago, reveals
the secret. In the later years of the Japanese Colonial Period, construction of
the
|
| |
Nanfang Ao Channel had just commenced. When the war started,
construction was abandoned, so after the Republic Government took over, two
blocks of gate bases that looked like two giant pieces of tofu were left
standing by the port. This is how the name of this area came about. The two
blocks of the water gates were meant to control the access of fishing boats.
The Ilan County Government turned the beach between the two giant rocks into a
natural beach park and built the place into a seashore Coliseum with long sheds
and stone steps. The beach at Tofu Cape is safe with small waves. It is also a
favorite summer spot for barbeques and family outings.
Recently however, researchers conducted a survey on the coral reefs in this
area. Researchers found that the coral reefs located at three to ten meters
under the water are dying or have become bleached. Only 5% of the coral (and
10% to 20% last year) that is located 10 meters underwater and 25% of the coral
(35% last year) located at 5 meters under the water and below is surviving.
Visitors to this area should treasure these coral reefs. Please give the coral
reefs some air to breath by not littering the sea.
