The Area is a perfect place for outdoor fun with family and
friends. Covering 7.93 hectares, the park is well equipped for camping,
barbecuing and other recreations in the beauty of nature. Located at the 17 km
point on County High Way 185 in Pingtung, the park was named by Premier Su
Tseng-chang. In future, it will be privately managed to further improve visitor
services and ensure the park’s sustainable operation.
Scents of the Woods: The secluded woods of the Saijia Recreation Area
offer ample opportunity to breathe in the invigorating essential oils of the
forest, whether walking among the trees or slumbering beneath them, with camping
areas located amidst stands of camphor, devil trees, Formosan ash and other
arboreal species.
The Twinkle of Stars and Fireflies: Far from the lights and noise of the
city, the Saijia camping area looks up into a clear night sky filled with stars
and their more earthbound mimics – the fireflies.
