Officially designated in 2009 as the 8th national park in Taiwan, the Taijiang National Park is best known for its marvelous scenery of immense seashore wetlands. It features the world-class wetlands both at Sicao and along the Zengwen River, as well as national wetlands at the Yanshui River mouth and Qigu Salt Fields. This national park preserves cultural relics of both the Siraya tribe (also known as the Pingpu Tribe) and Han Chinese, because Taijiang is one of the regions settled by the first batch of Chinese settlers. Having long been occupied by salt fields, fish farms and a harbor, the park boasts a massive wetland ecosystem abundant with mangrove forests, making it a major habitat of Black-faced Spoonbill among other rare birds.
