Illustrative Zhu-meng Sen-ju (Dream-building Forest Dwelling) sits beside Yun-shui Stream in Shen-keng Village, Zhong-pu Township, Chiayi County. Originally an abandoned betel-nut orchard, years of restoration have turned it into a nature-ecology-themed family camping park. Clean, comfortable RV trailers come with air conditioning and separate wet/dry bathrooms, plus skylights for stargazing. Activities are diverse: ecological tours, DIY crafts, tree climbing, rock climbing, lazy-river water-gun battles, ai-yu jelly DIY, and small-animal feeding, for kids and adults to experience together. An open-air restaurant serves home-style dishes featuring mountain produce so families can enjoy good food in nature. The atmosphere is warm and educational, suiting travelers seeking easy camping, family interaction, and environmental learning.

Illustrative →Fushan Fishery Conservation Area
Fu-Shan Fisheries Resource Conservation Area sits on Shan-Yuan Beach in Bei-Nan Township, Taitung, split between a sandy southern stretch and a northern coral-reef tidal flat. Overfishing once depleted the reef; a 2005 fishing ban let it bounce back, and today the protected zone is a favourite for families keen on intertidal wildlife. From the boardwalk you can watch dense schools of fish, hermit crabs and coral, and join interactive sessions feeding the fish with seaweed biscuits. Parking, wooden walkways and a small hermit-crab education area round out a visit ideal for paddling, nature discovery and coastal photography.

Illustrative →Shangyuan Seawater Bathing Beach
Shan-Yuan Seawater Bathing Beach, near the Fu-Shan conservation area in Bei-Nan Township, is Taitung's only official swimming beach. The sand is flat and fine, the water is see-through, and the shallow shelf makes it ideal for paddling children, sandcastle building and the fish-feeding sessions the area is known for. Since the 2005 fishing ban, the intertidal zone has bounced back, and the boardwalk puts that revived marine life within arm's reach. It is a twenty-minute drive north of Taitung City along Highway 11, making it a natural-education must-do for beach-loving families.
