Ji’an Keishuin


In the period under Japanese rule, the main deities of the temple were Kūkai, Acala, and Vaiśravaṇa. The building re-sembled the traditional Japanese temples in Koyasan. After 50 years of silence follow-ing World War II, the derelict Keishuin was taken over by the local residents. The dei-ties to which the main hall offered sacrifices were then changed to Sakyamuni Buddha and Guanshiyin Pusa. To date, Keishuin has remained the most well-preserved histori-cal building of the Shinto shrine from the period under Japanese rule in Eastern Tai-wan as well as a third-class historical site. It is also one of the top destinations for the Japanese people who come to Taiwan to seek their family roots in Taiwan.

Bihe Pond


Hidden in the Dajiahan tribe, “Bihe Pond” is a private mystery realm in Wanrong Township. The Pond used to be land. The head of the Dajiahan tribe, Bi-hewalisi, donated the land, leading people to dig the land and make a dam. Yet, the dam broke through the years. Later, Bi-hewalisi’s oldest son renovated the dam and introduced water into the Pond, nam-ing it “Bihe Pond.”

Qixintan Scenic Area


With Qixintan’s crystal clear waters on one side and majestic mountains off in the distance, it is a place where the mountains meet the sea and a truly mesmerizing cres-cent beach. Besides the awe-inspiring views, the scenic area also includes scenic trails, seaside pavilions, viewing tower, star-watching square and more, allowing all visitors to immerse themselves in the wide expanse of earth, ocean and sky.

Pine Garden


It is strategically located at the foothills of the Meilun Mountain, right across from Meilun River’s outlet to the sea. Pine Garden is a two-story quasi-western arcade building. The style includes a modest appearance with a fo-cus on strength and durability. The walls are of the original color of concrete, while the first and second floors feature European-style arcades. The rooftop is made of Japanese roof tiles, which is a mixed architectural style of the east and west.

Baibao River


Baibao River has no overly exquisite man-made landscaping. It is nature’s gift. Be it fluttering butterflies, the clear, splashing river watercourse, or the rural scenery along the road, they all add an air of tran-quility and freshness to Baibao River.
