Illustrative A-mei Pineapple in Min-xiong, Chiayi, is a smart-agriculture and local-characteristic family experience park. The bright-yellow pineapple house is its landmark, letting visitors hand-pick premium pineapples, learn about diverse varieties (such as the 'Magnolia Pineapple'), and join pineapple-themed DIY crafts (pineapple cakes, jam, jelly). The brand has won the Shen-nong Award and is marketed in Japan under the 'Summer Snow' label, symbolizing sweet summer freshness. Great for families and friends to experience farming fun and taste fresh pineapple flavors.

Illustrative →Mr. Brown Avenue
Brown Boulevard in Chi-Shang, Taitung, is a ruler-straight lane cutting between rice paddies, framed by distant peaks, with no utility poles blocking the sight line — the recipe for some of the country's most-photographed blue skies and golden rice waves. Spring and summer paint the fields emerald; autumn turns them harvest-gold, and the road is best experienced by bike, on foot, or with a sketchbook. Picking the right hour and dodging tour-bus peaks lets visitors slip into the quiet, rural rhythm.

Illustrative →Jialulan
Jia-Lu-Lan Recreation Area, in Dong-He Township on Taitung's coast, spreads its wide lawns along the Highway 11 shoreline. Wind- and sea-carved rocks define the coast, the stratified cliffs read like contour lines, and the open sight lines take in the Pacific — Green Island appears on clear days. Driftwood installations with names like 'My Good Friends' and 'Sunrise Dance' layer an art-forward mood over the natural scene. Viewing decks, an interpretive station and shaded pavilions make it easy to linger; the site is free, and its family-and-pet-friendly setup has turned it into an east-coast go-to for stargazing, sunrise watching and seaside walks.

Illustrative →Jiaming Lake
Jia-Ming Lake sits at about 3,310 metres in the South Second Section of Taiwan's Central Range — the country's second-highest alpine lake. No streams feed it; rain alone keeps it year-round, and each season paints a different picture: spring wildflowers, summer green meadows and cool water, autumn ridgelines of red leaves, winter snow. The lake lies in Bunun traditional territory, and the indigenous name — 'Mirror of the Moon' — carries the cultural weight that implies. The main trailhead is the Xiang-Yang Forest Recreation Area, and the route runs roughly thirteen kilometres one-way with over 1,300 metres of elevation gain, so it is for fit hikers with altitude adaptation. Single-day pushes or two-day-plus itineraries both work, but summer typhoons and thunderstorms can close the trail at short notice. The reward is one of Taiwan's great photography, stargazing and high-country destinations.

Illustrative →Duoliang Station
Duo-Liang Station in Tai-Ma-Li, Taitung, is widely called Taiwan's most beautiful train station. Carved into a hillside and facing the sea, the platform's bright-red railing strikes a vivid chord against the blue Pacific, and the moment a train bursts from the tunnel onto the coastal line has become an Instagram mainstay. Service stopped in 2006 but the site reopened for tourism that same year; a small NT$10 entry fee was added in 2021 while the visit itself still feels free. Walk down to the seaside deck for the full sky-meets-sea sweep, or grab indigenous slate-grilled meat and fresh juice from the stalls out front. Tai-Ma-Li Dawn Park and Hua-Yuan Bay sit nearby, suiting half-day or full-day trips.

Illustrative →Fushan Fish Conservation Area
Fu-Shan Conservation Area in the Shan-Yuan stretch of Taitung is a boardwalk-and-tidal-flat nature spot on the east coast. Full-fare tickets are NT$50 (concession NT$20), the walkway is well maintained, and the route is sized right for family or couple strolls, sea-gazing and photography. Feeding fish, fishing, swimming and removing any creature are all forbidden — staff offer sun protection and tide timing tips at the entrance. A café and snack stands sit nearby for a follow-on rest, making the area a popular summer escape and family-outing pick in Taitung.

![[Illustrative] Sangshu Stream](/api/images/entities/taitung-tw-058292ef4638/hero.webp)
Illustrative →Sangshu Stream
Sang-Shu Stream, a tributary of the Da-Nan River, runs near the Taromak indigenous village in Bei-Nan Township, Taitung. The water is clear, the current moderate, and the surroundings are almost untouched — dense forest and tribal hamlets stand in for buildings and industry, giving the stream a hidden-summer-spot feel. Visitors paddle the shallows, leap from rocks and river-trace upstream, passing standout features like the 'Crystal Corridor' and natural swimming pools. The terrain shifts fast, so go with company, bring your own life jacket and river-tracing gear, and carry every piece of rubbish back out.
