In fact, there used to be broad tidal flats along the entire Taichung and Changhua coast. Sadly, the mudflats of Taichung were destroyed in the 1980s when they built coastal industrial parks and coal-fired power plants. Now all that's left is this area in Changhua. Ecologists see it as a great treasure.
