Evening in Estuary of Beinan River

BY SUNNY LIN OCTOBER 22 , 2018

Due to the Central Mountain range, it can be difficult to see the sunset in Taitung. However, Beinan River Estuary provides a spot for people who want to enjoy the sunset by the ocean on the east coast of Taiwan.

“It not only looks just like the sunset, but it is also as beautiful as the sunset in the western part of Taiwan,” said Cindy, a visitor from Tainan.

Beinan River is beside another famous location in Taitung, Flowing Lake. Many people go there to  bike around the lake, swim, or kayak.

Some people head down to the estuary after exercising to enjoy the view, have a cup of tea or coffee with family or friends, and listen to the sound of the waves. However, many others are unfamiliar with the spot.

“Most people go to the lake beside the Beinan River to have fun, but everyone forgets the beauty of this River,” said Chong Wu, a policeman who often goes there on patrol.

The site is beloved by tourists and residents alike.

“I love to experience this,” said Tracy Hsieh who has been living in Taitung for a long time. “Most people have heard of Beinan River, but not everyone knows the beauty there.”
