When you think of Dong'ao, Yilan, cold springs or Wushi Harbor might immediately come to mind. But did you know there's also a hidden gem here, known as the "Taiwanese version of Halong Bay"—Pink Bird Forest?
Not only can you buy the freshest catch in this small fishing village 🐟, but you can also sit on the reef, gazing at the ocean and feeling the salty breeze—a truly relaxing experience! But the best part is that you can try SUP (Stand Up Paddle) here. Paddling through the canyons, you'll get up close and personal with the magnificent sea caves and turquoise waters, instantly transporting you to the magical scenery of Halong Bay, Vietnam. 🌟
As you paddle, the sea surface shimmers in a shimmering blue and green, depending on the angle of the sunlight. This, combined with the canyon's layers of rock, is so stunning you won't want to put your camera down 📸.
💡 Expert Route and Time Suggestions:
• 🚗 Transportation: From Taipei, it's about a 1.5-hour drive to Dong'ao. We recommend parking at the parking lot near Pink Bird Forest Fishing Port.
• ⏰ Time Suggestions:
▪️ 8:00 AM – Arrive at the port. Explore the local fishing village and buy some catch or a fisherman's breakfast.
▪️ 9:30 AM – Join the SUP experience, approximately 2.5 hours, for an adventure through the canyon.
▪️ 12:30 PM – Return to the port for a seafood lunch—a must-try freshly caught catch!
▪️ 2:00 PM – Sit by the reef and relax, take beautiful photos, and listen to the waves. This is the perfect end to your half-day trip.
