Keelung Marine City Youth Travel Spot
Surrounded on three sides by mountains, Keelung boasts a unique historical and ecological significance. With its rich maritime culture, historical landmarks, and coastal charm, Keelung is home to a wealth of attractions—from the internationally renowned Port of Keelung to its tranquil seaside scenery and enduring cultural relics—making it a beautiful and valuable destination for tourism. 1. Badouzi’s Coastal Fishing Culture In the early days, Badouzi was home to fishing communities whose seafaring lives shaped a rich marine heritage. The area still holds mysterious stories of the sea and a deep connection to its maritime past. A stroll through the old Badouzi streets, tasting fresh fish cooked in large pots at traditional fish huts, immerses you in the authentic charm of a fishing village and offers a glimpse into its former glory. 2. Wangyou Valley – A Journey to Forget Your Worries Wangyou Valley, named one of Taiwan’s top ten "healing trails," is a lush green valley of meadows and low shrubs bordered by the vast blue ocean. Walking through the valley offers more than just physical relaxation—it’s a chance to admire sweeping ridgelines, explore unique plant ecosystems, and reconnect with nature in its most serene form. 3. Daping Coast – Step into Nature with Straw Sandals The Daping Coast features a wave-cut platform formed over tens of thousands of years. Alongside this stunning coastal landscape is a vibrant intertidal zone teeming with green algae and marine life. Slip on a pair of traditional straw sandals and explore this natural masterpiece up close—an adventure that brings you into harmony with the ocean. 4. Natural Dyeing with Shorea – An Ocean-Inspired Craft Shorea (Shu Lang) is a native Taiwanese plant historically used by fishermen to dye their nets. Today, this traditional practice has evolved into an innovative local craft. In the dyeing experience, seawater’s sodium ions help fix the plant dye, creating a lasting color while adding fun to the rinsing process. It’s a creative blend of heritage and modern artistry, rooted in the spirit of the ocean.

Qionglin, Hsinchu Youth Travel Spot
Activity Location: This site is Taiwan's first venue initiated by a private organization. It operates under a National Trust model (the Nature Valley Environmental Protection Public Trust) and is driven by private initiatives focused on conserving and restoring low-altitude forest ecology, promoting natural ecology education, and expanding the protected ecological area. Tree Climbing Activities: This is the longest-running tree climbing program (since 2005) that integrates rope climbing techniques with other fields, such as experiential education, ecological surveys, eco-tourism, wilderness safety skills, and team building. Target Audience: The program is suitable for individuals aged 4 to 80, including elementary school students to university/graduate level, businesses, non-profit organizations, and government agencies. Activities can be customized to meet the diverse human needs of people across various industries and age groups. Ecological Research and Education: Rope climbing techniques are used within Nature Valley to install numerous artificial bird nests (nest boxes) for owls and flying squirrel nest boxes for observation and ecological research. The activities will also guide participants to learn the ecological stories of owls and flying squirrels, and understand how tree climbing is applied in canopy ecological surveys and research. The Century-Old Mango Tree: One of the trees climbed is the oldest centenary mango tree in Northern Taiwan. The activity will share the history-filled growth story of "Grandma Mango." It will also prompt participants to reflect on the immense importance of trees—not only do they provide us with oxygen and delicious fruits, and serve as a place for fun and play, but they are also crucial for forest ecology and soil/water conservation. The goal is to inspire participants to appreciate and protect trees. The Five-Senses Forest Exploration: This experience covers the five senses (sight, smell, hearing, taste, touch). On the forest trail, participants engage in various sensory games, such as blindfolding. By not relying on sight, they explore how the world appears through their other senses. The game-based approach encourages enthusiastic participation and, more importantly, allows participants to realize and even re-sharpen their sensory acuity. This fulfills the process of "knowing oneself first," which is essential for understanding the environment. Overnight Activities (Self-Catering): Overnight programs require participants to cook their own meals. These activities can be integrated with school curricula, such as fire management, knot-tying, field trips, multi-day camping, scouting programs, ecological volunteerism, and practical application of canopy ecology.
