Changhua County Government has completed the 'Dongluo River (Beitou Ferry Pier and Pitou Kapok Road) Cultural Green Corridor Environmental Improvement Project.' Launched to revitalize the local water environment and preserve historical landmarks, the initiative features the reconstruction of the Beitou Ferry Pier alongside new public amenities including a boathouse-themed playground, sandpits, scenic restrooms, and pedestrian boardwalks.
County Magistrate Wang Hui-mei noted that the project was supported by a central government subsidy of NT$94 million and a local contribution of NT$20.635 million. The project covers two main areas: the Beitou Ferry Pier water culture corridor, spanning 1.5 kilometers from the Provincial Highway 1 Beitou Bridge to the Shennong Road Qixing Bridge, and the Pitou Kapok Road riverbank improvements.
The Beitou section integrates the area’s historical ferry culture with modern environmental education spaces and recreational facilities for all ages. Meanwhile, the Pitou section introduces a 500-meter pedestrian walkway near Zhongxi Bridge, supplemented by educational signage. These efforts connect to the previously completed 8.3-kilometer green corridor between Shipi Bridge and the Old Railway Bridge, establishing a comprehensive tourism network between Beitou Township and Pitou Township.
