Taijiang National Park, National park in Tainan, Taiwan
Taijiang National Park sits along the southwestern coast of Taiwan and protects large wetlands, tidal flats, and shallow lagoons. The protected area spans from the mainland to offshore islands and provides habitat for many waterbirds, crustaceans, and mangrove forests.
The region served as an important maritime trade route in the 17th century during the early settlement of Taiwan. The status as a national park was granted in 2009 to permanently secure the threatened coastal ecosystems.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods in designated zones within the park, preserving centuries-old practices of coastal resource management.
The visitor center offers bicycle rental, guided tours, and educational programs about wetland conservation, except on Mondays. The flat paths work well for walking and birdwatching, especially in early morning hours and during low tide.
Black-faced spoonbills migrate to the protected wetlands each winter, making the park one of the few places where these rare birds can be observed. Traditional fishermen still work in designated zones and maintain fishing techniques passed down over centuries.
