The number '9420' is a homophone for 'jiu si er ling' in Mandarin, which sounds similar to 'jiu ai ni', meaning 'love you forever'.
The park occupies a strategic location on the South Link Highway, the primary artery connecting Taitung and Pingtung.
The design of the park is intended to mitigate driver fatigue by providing a visually stimulating rest area.
9420 Coast Park is a coastal recreational area located in Dawu Township, Taitung, designed specifically as a traveler's rest stop along the South Link Highway. The park is distinguished by its vibrant, oversized signage featuring the number '9420', which serves as a phonetic pun in Mandarin for 'always love you'. Situated directly along the coastline of the Pacific Ocean, it provides unobstructed views of the sea and rugged eastern cliffs. The site includes a prominent lighthouse-themed public restroom structure, which has become a recognizable landmark for motorists. Extensive paved walkways facilitate pedestrian access between the parking area and the shoreline. The park infrastructure is maintained by the local government to support tourism along the Taitung-Pingtung coastal route.

Bring sun protection as the park is fully exposed with minimal natural tree canopy.
Use the designated walkways to reach the pebbled beach area safely rather than attempting to climb down steep embankments.
Plan for a brief stop to stretch and enjoy the ocean breeze rather than a full-day excursion.
Do not attempt to swim in the waters here, as the deep-water drop-offs and strong currents make the beach dangerous for swimming.
Maintain a respectful distance from the water's edge due to strong rip currents and unstable rocky terrain.
