Nankunshen Daitian Temple, a Michelin 3-Star must-see attraction, has a history of over 300 years. Its grand architectural scale is unmatched across Taiwan and it is also the island’s oldest temple dedicated to the Worship of the Lords. It has been designated as a national historic site. The Shuangchun Coastal Recreation Area is a comprehensive eco-recreation zone, featuring a mangrove observation area that includes four precious native Taiwanese mangrove species: Kandelia obovata, Rhizophora stylosa, Lumnitzera racemosa, and Lumnitzera littorea. Meanwhile, the Jingzijiao Salt Field in Beimen Township is the oldest existing tile-pond salt field in Taiwan that still practices manual salt drying, with a history of about 200 years. Under the sunlight, the colorful salt pans create a unique scenic view of the salt-producing region.
