Take your first step toward health on this "Centennial New Year's Day" milestone. To promote Taitung as a healthy, leisurely, and livable city, the Taitung County Government will launch the nation’s earliest 10,000 Steps Walk event at midnight on January 1, 2011, starting from the countdown party venue at Taitung Seaside Park, leading participants on a health-focused walk.
Highway 9’s sea of flowers is a renowned seasonal attraction.
The event features two walking routes — the Taitung Railway Station Route (approximately 7.5 km) and the Fugang Fishing Port Route (approximately 7 km). Participants are encouraged to walk healthily to either Taitung Railway Station or Fugang Fishing Port, then take public transportation such as dawn trains, buses, or ferries to destinations like Taimali, Sanxiantai, and Green Island to welcome the first rays of sunshine of the year 2011.
