The park was created by merging two historic coastal parks, Nanbin and Beibin, to create a continuous waterfront corridor.
The 3D painting installation is designed specifically for forced-perspective photography, making visitors appear as if they are interacting with the depicted ocean life.
The park sits on a former coastal landfill site that underwent significant landscape restoration to become public parkland.
The site serves as a primary access point for the Hualien 193 County Road cycling route.
Pacific Park, located in Hualien City, is a coastal recreational area formed by the integration of the former Nanbin and Beibin Parks. The park features a prominent 3D ocean-themed mural that creates an interactive illusion for visitors. Its terrain includes open sandy beaches and paved pathways directly overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Visitors can utilize professional-grade sand volleyball courts situated near the shoreline. The park is connected to the Hualien coastal cycling trail, facilitating access to northern and southern sections of the city's waterfront. The grounds are characterized by open green spaces, art installations, and minimal forest cover, emphasizing unobstructed sea vistas.

Bring a hat and high-SPF sunscreen as the park has very limited natural shade during peak daylight hours.
Wear comfortable sneakers suitable for walking on both paved paths and loose sand if you plan to reach the beach edge.
Visit during the early morning to catch the sunrise over the Pacific Ocean.
Do not attempt to swim at the beach, as the currents are notoriously dangerous and there is no lifeguard supervision.
Avoid swimming in the ocean at this location due to strong currents and steep drop-offs; observe local warning flags.
