Xu Zhulong, director of the scenic area management office, said that the beach wheelchairs are currently placed at the sailing base of the Binwan Wharf, and those who need them only need to borrow them free of charge from the sailing base operators.

If you don't want too exciting water activities, the Dapeng Bay lake cruise boat can even get on a wheelchair. , so that people with disabilities can also enjoy the fun of water activities.
The Pingtung County Service Association for the Disabled said that the tourism environment of Dapeng Bay is very friendly to people with disabilities, and even how to experience water activities is considered. It is the first time for everyone in life. With beach wheelchairs and guarded water lifeguards, Dapeng Bay is more fun, and it is no longer just walking on the shore to watch flowers.
A 45-year-old man surnamed Wu, who became a "wheelchair family" due to a spinal cord injury in a car accident 15 years ago, said that when he was young, he loved to play in the water at the beach. Today, I used the beach wheelchair to regain the long-lost water flotation fun, accompanied by lifeguards. It felt great.
