The Hualien-Taitung Rift Valley Fenglin Recreation Area is set to reopen on October 19th, a piece of news that undoubtedly brings anticipation to many camping enthusiasts. After a 22-year wait, this beautiful camping area will finally bloom with new vitality. The reopened Fenglin Recreation Area will not only offer the joy of camping, but also hopes to become a major tourism highlight in the Hualien-Taitung Rift Valley, contributing to the post-earthquake tourism boom.
The story behind the recreation area is quite a rollercoaster. Back in 2002, the Fenglin Recreation Area obtained a development permit and opened part of its camping area in 2004. However, as time went on, this place became an idle space. Although some events were occasionally held during these years, the actual operation was restricted due to the operator terminating the contract in 2010. Until 2016, a plan to rebuild the recreation area into a resort hotel with 400 rooms was proposed, but this attempt failed due to the environmental impact assessment not being approved.
In recent years, with the rise of the domestic camping trend, the charm of the Hualien-Taitung Rift Valley has once again been appreciated. To cater to the new trend and respond to the demand for camping, the relevant units resubmitted a change application in 2022 and began renovating the campsites. This series of actions not only paved the way for the opening of the camping area but also symbolizes that the Fenglin Recreation Area will usher in a new chapter.
To celebrate this grand opening, Hualien-Taitung Rift Valley will hold the "Hualien-Taitung Rift Valley Grand Camping" event from October 19th to 20th. A variety of music and craft activities will be arranged, allowing every participant to enjoy the unique atmosphere and fun of camping. This is not only a camping gathering but also an opportunity to experience the local customs and traditions.
The facility planning of the Fenglin Recreation Area is also very exciting, with plans to develop it into a four-star camping area. The overall facilities include basic amenities such as cooking pavilions, shower rooms, and public restrooms, allowing campers to feel comfortable and convenient. It is particularly worth mentioning that there will also be a beautiful man-made lake within the recreation area, allowing people to immerse themselves in nature and enjoy a tranquil holiday.
For tourists who want to check into the Fenglin Recreation Area early, the early bird offers are not to be missed. The starting price for two people is 800 yuan, a truly attractive price. For detailed plans and participation methods, tourists can check the official website of the Fenglin Recreation Area and learn more about the event information.
Today, the reopening of the Hualien-Taitung Rift Valley Fenglin Recreation Area has special significance for post-earthquake tourism. This is not only a good opportunity to reignite the camping craze but also hopes to drive the local tourism economy through such activities, attracting more tourists to come and explore. In the days to come, the Fenglin Recreation Area will, with its unique features, provide people with an unforgettable camping experience. Let's look forward to the rebirth of this land!
