Wai'ao Service Area

On a hot summer day, if you're looking for a refreshing beach trip, why not visit Wai'ao Service Area? This bright yellow building, designed by renowned architect Kris Yao, resembles both a paraglider and a large ship. Its highly modern exterior boasts multiple symbolic meanings; you're invited to use your imagination and experience the uniqueness of this architecture firsthand. The yellow exterior walls, set against the blue sky and vast ocean, directly face Guishan Island, embracing a unique wetland beach and a beautiful blue sea wall trail. Whenever the sun sets or rises on the sea, the silhouettes of frolicking tourists come into view, creating a picturesque scene with the sunrise over Guishan Island and the unique 'turtle wearing a hat' scenery. Beyond the stunning scenery, Wai'ao Beach is also a surfing paradise. Shops alongside the beach offer surfing lessons, allowing beginners to experience the thrill of riding the waves, along with exciting water activities like banana boat rides. Nearby, on the mountaintop, there's a paragliding base. Soaring into the sky on a paraglider offers a beautiful and spectacular panoramic view of Wai'ao's entire coastline. The rich array of land, sea, and air activities here attracts many visitors seeking adventure and challenge. The service area thoughtfully provides free foot-washing areas and paid shower facilities. Inside, the No. 9 Cafe offers coffee, light meals, snacks, and an information service. Its large floor-to-ceiling windows provide a distant view of the beautiful Pacific coast and Guishan Island. It's known as the cafe closest to the sea, where travelers can enjoy a meal, admire the view, and relax after playing in the water.
