Bitan Meets The Little Prince: A 19-Meter Rowing Boat Installation Turns Weekend Strolls Toward the Waterfront and Nightfall

The Bitan landscape installation exhibition "Meet The Little Prince: Wandering Through Bitan" takes place from October 17 to December 13, 2026. A rowing-boat-shaped inflatable installation measuring 19 meters wide rests on the water's surface, with the Little Prince forming a unified scene together with the surrounding mountains and suspension bridge. Along the shore, visitors can also find a fox installation standing about 3 meters tall.

Daytime is suited for observing the water and mountain views, while after dark, visitors can see the installation intertwine with illuminated water bicycles. Those hoping to take photos may want to set aside some walking time to view the pieces from several distances along the waterfront, rather than stopping at just one photo spot; the actual arrangement of lighting and water activities still depends on on-site announcements and weather conditions.

The itinerary can also extend into the surrounding neighborhood. Guangming Street brings together local snacks such as rice noodle soup, oil rice, and noodle dishes, making it a good choice for a meal before or after viewing the exhibition. For those wishing to venture into nature, Xindian Ferry and Hemei Mountain Trail are worth considering separately, allowing waterfront walks and mountain trail routes to be planned apart, depending on one's stamina that day.

The advantage of this kind of nearby trip is that you don't need to fill the entire day. Meeting friends for a meal first, then walking to Bitan to watch the changing light, can carve out a slower stretch of time within an ordinary weekend. Markets, experiences, and transportation details during the exhibition period may be subject to adjustment, so it's advisable to confirm the day's activities before heading out.
