　As summer approaches, the beloved sea activities are coming back!

　During the epidemic, the pressure of life is doubled. In addition to the prevention of the epidemic, it is also necessary to heal the soul, especially during the summer season when there are many activities to keep social distance, not easy to gather in groups, but also to enjoy the natural landscape and take care of the soul.

　The history of "boating" has been recorded since the Heian period, and with the change of the times, boating has become what is now commonly known as "boating". There are many places in Taiwan where you can experience boating at sea, whether during the day or at night, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way in different counties and cities, and feel the relaxing time in the busy city. However, in recent years, the boating industry has gradually emerged, and many people have started to purchase their own boats, so that sea activities are no longer limited, but can easily go out in their daily lives.

　Canoes are arguably the oldest form of watercraft. In the past, humans used to hollow out the middle of large woods and use branches as paddles so that they could be paddled on the sea for fishing and transportation purposes. Canoes can be found all over the world, and the appearance of the canoes made varies depending on the region.

　According to history, the world's first canoe was made by the Eskimos in North America from animal skins, and its impermeable design protected people from waves, snow and cold.

　Canoeing has become a popular water sport in recent years. After simple and basic instruction, you can experience the fun of paddling on the sea, and compared to other sea activities, canoeing is safer and more leisurely, and there is also the experience of riding with parents and children.

　Feel the waves lapping on the canoe, swing the paddle, glide the water, and fully enjoy the cool summer experience.
