Livestream channels show off the beauty of Yilan’s coastline

An Yilan local has set up livestream channels for the beauty spots of Su’ao Township. The coastal livestreams let admirers enjoy Yilan’s scenery from all over the world. But they also give locals a chance to keep track of the coastline, so that the ocean could be protected and accidents prevented. We spoke to Yen Po-lin about the project to bring Yilan’s coastline to the world.
Rolling mountains are the backdrop for a sea covered in white horses. This beautiful landscape is “Lovers’ Bay” in Yilan’s Su’ao Township. Now it can be enjoyed all over the world on this internet livestream. Its host, Yen Po-lin, moved back to his hometown of Su’ao to throw himself into local regeneration.

In order to market our local scenery, I looked to other countries, for example Venice, or Osaka and Harajuku in Japan, where they all do this.
Yen opened a drinks store when he returned to Su’ao. He almost got into a collaboration with local officials to publicize the area, but the deal fell through. Then, after a tragic seaside accident in May, he had a fresh idea.

A female student drowned at Nanfang’ao, and that made me think, “This isn’t good enough. I have to do something.” So I started to plan how I could set up this livestream camera.
To create the livestreams, Yen got permission from local officials to set up three 4K high-resolution cameras on roofs, at the gym of Nan’an Junior High, on a local cafe, and at the service office of Nanjian Borough. He spent NT$110,000 of his own money in the process. Local fundraising also raised NT$20,000 for the project, covering the cost of 20 months of livestreaming.

It’s great. We can see what’s going on at any time, and also see the beauty.

It means you don’t have to go down there to look, you can just see it on your phone.
Installing the cameras has not only given us a remote glimpse of Yilan’s natural beauty; it also helps people protect the ocean. Yen hopes to set up cameras at the No. 1 and No. 3 Fishing Harbors, as well as on Tofu Cape, to bring even more eyes to his homeland’s spectacular coast.
行銷美景+守護海岸安全 情人灣架設直播攝影機
2023-08-02
宜蘭蘇澳鎮的情人灣，風景優美更是不少情侶約會的地方。致力於地方創生的顏伯霖，為了行銷家鄉的美景，構想架設直播攝影機，加上5月份傳出女學生落海的意外，讓他積極尋求地方合作，花費了約12萬元，情人灣附近架設3個地點裝設高畫質鏡頭，能拍海景又能守護海岸安全。
峰巒起伏的高山，海面上的層層白浪，一大片美景盡收眼底，宜蘭縣蘇澳鎮情人灣，現在能透過直播欣賞美景。這樣的點子，來自回鄉致力地方創生的顏伯霖 。

“為了行銷我們地方的美景，我看到國外，比如說威尼斯，還有日本的大阪、原宿，它們都有在做這一塊”
回鄉開飲料店的顏伯霖，為了想讓更多人看到宜蘭蘇澳的美，一度與公部門洽談合作，但沒下文。沒想到5月發生有人意外落水，讓他因此轉念。

“南方澳發生了女學生溺水事件，我才覺得說，不行，我一定要自己先做，所以我開始籌劃要怎麼去架設這個直播攝影機”
顏伯霖改找地方合作，徵得同意後，分別在南安國中體育館，咖啡店，以及南建里里長服務處頂樓，架設3個4K高畫質攝影機，自掏腰包花了約11萬元，也透過地方募得獲得2萬元經費，支應20個月的網路直播費。

“不錯啊，讓我們隨時看到那些狀況，也可以看到那些美”

“可以不用去現場看，看手機就好”
架設直播攝影機，除了能讓更多人看到美景外，還多了守護海洋的功能。顏伯霖希望，未來能在第一漁港，第三漁港，還有豆腐岬都能架設直播攝影機，好好行銷家鄉之美。
