2025 Fangyuan Township Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

It takes about five to ten minutes to reach the destination by taking Taiwan Highway 61 and exiting at Xiafangyuan Interchange. There are plenty of parking spaces around, so parking is quite convenient. The Sea and Sky Trail has three entrances: South, Central and North. People usually enter from the South entrance because it is closer to the parking lot and has barrier-free space, so elderly people in wheelchairs can also come for a walk. Although the sea-to-sky trail is built on the intertidal zone, it is high enough so you can still walk on it during high tide, just like walking on the sea. When the tide is low, you can see many arc-edge fiddler crabs and pale white fiddler crabs on both sides of the sea-to-sky trail, as well as a rich ecosystem.

I remember when I came to Fangyuan 10 years ago, it was still a deserted seaside. I didn’t expect that the government has really been promoting the unique seaport and fishing port culture in recent years, allowing citizens to observe the living environment more safely and carefully, and providing everyone with a good place for sightseeing and relaxation. This time, I joined my parents on a group day tour to experience the Taiwanese customs that I would not normally be exposed to. The #FangYuanSeaandSkyTrail, which officially opened to the public on September 7, 2021, is the only mangrove wetland sightseeing trail in Changhua County. The trail is about 1 kilometer long and I heard it cost about NT$90,000,000 to build. After walking around the trail, you can feel the cool sea breeze, the romance of the ocean, and the wonderful view of the line between the sky, the ground and the ocean. We also saw fiddler crabs at the end of the trail, which was quite amazing. Now you don’t have to travel all the way to Taipei to see them #水笔仔. The key point is that there is no entrance fee. Please come and take a look when you are free, but remember not to leave your garbage there. The temples nearby provide free toilets and parking lots, so make use of them. However, since the attraction has only been open for a year, many of the facilities feel a bit basic. I hope that the explanatory signs can have more foreign language labels, so that more tourists can come to Taiwan in the future and know more about the beautiful natural scenery of Taiwan. Another interesting phenomenon is that there are two yellow cows at the entrance, and an old woman is selling grass for everyone to feed. I just felt that the animals seemed to be a little too full and their expressions were a little sad. Suddenly, I also felt that it is a very happy thing for humans to be able to move freely, live and travel. I hope everyone is safe and healthy❤️

#Register for March Hotel Test Sleeper 2025 Wanggong Fishing Port is located in Fangyuan Township, Changhua County. It is a very distinctive fishing village in western Taiwan and is famous throughout Taiwan for its abundant production of plump "Wanggong Oysters". Its history can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty. It was called "Fanwa" in the early days and was once one of Taiwan's important trading ports. It is known as "Fuji, Luji, Mengjia, Baodou, and Fanwa". The fishing port is surrounded by a rich blend of natural and cultural landscapes, such as the intertidal zone ecology (fiddler crabs, mudskippers), mangrove wetlands, and the landmark "Fangyuan Lighthouse" - an octagonal lighthouse with black and white stripes, 37.4 meters high, and the youngest international lighthouse in Taiwan. Wanggong Fishing Port, which has transformed into a tourist destination in recent years, has unique architectural landscapes, such as the "Wanggong Ecological Landscape Bridge", which won an international architecture award. Its streamlined shape is inspired by waves and oyster shells, and it looks even more sci-fi with the lighting at night. There is also the "King's Bow Bridge", where you can overlook the sunset and wind turbines, making it a hot spot for photography. Every summer, the Wanggong Fishing Fire Festival combines fireworks, grilled oysters and cultural activities to attract tourists to experience the charm of the fishing village. We recommend tasting local delicacies such as freshly grilled oysters and oyster pancakes, and taking a ride on an oxcart to experience oyster harvesting in the intertidal zone and get to know the life in the fishing village. Address: No. 780, Yugang Road, Fangyuan Township, Changhua County, Taiwan #TaiwanTravel #Changhua

Located in Fangyuan, Changhua, the Wanggong Small Wind Power Plant has become a popular check-in spot in recent years due to its unique sci-fi appearance. Over 400 vertical-axis small wind turbines stand among the fish ponds, with their blue and white streamlined shapes resembling an 'alien base' or 'giant egg beater.' The surreal and fantastical atmosphere created by the reflection of the blue sky and the glow of the sunset makes it easy to capture stunning, tech-inspired photos. Although there are no other recreational facilities here, it is an excellent spot for photography enthusiasts. It is especially recommended to combine a visit with the nearby Wanggong Fishing Harbor, Fangyuan Lighthouse, and intertidal ecological experience for a rich one-day trip. It should be noted that some wind turbines have been dismantled due to regulatory issues. While the current landscape is not as spectacular as its peak, the neatly arranged wind turbines still offer a visually striking scene. It is recommended to navigate to 'Xinbao Elementary School' and then proceed along County Road 118 to reach the site. Please follow safety regulations while shooting, do not cross the barricades, and keep the environment clean. Visiting at dusk allows you to enjoy the poetic scenery of oyster fields intertwined with the evening glow, adding a romantic touch to your trip. Address: Fangyuan Township, Changhua County, Taiwan

In addition to providing free toilets and ample parking spaces, the temple also offers a magical Guanyin statue on the 2nd floor and a golden and magnificent Jade Emperor statue on the 4th floor. Follow the footsteps of your parents and worship from the first floor all the way to the top floor. In addition to being comforted by the body, mind and soul and feeling the positive energy of the gods, you can also drink a cup of Guanyin pure water, which blesses peace, at the Guanyin wall image on the second floor. Regardless of one's personal beliefs, it is a rare opportunity to experience different cultures and the temples that were painstakingly built by our ancestors. Are you hungry?
