Chaoyang National Trail Introduction
Chaoyang National Trail is located on the hills of Guishan, south of the Chaoyang community in Nanao Village. The trail has three entrances and its main length is approximately 2.2 kilometers. Along the way, there are four viewing platforms where visitors can take a rest and admire the beautiful views of the Suhua coastline, Wushi Harbor, Love Lake, Mandarin Duck Mountain, and the mysterious beach. The surrounding area of Chaoyang National Trail is rich in diverse native plants, birds, and amphibians. Occasionally, one can spot a black drongo perched on the treetops or encounter unexpected visitors among the grass. It’s not only an opportunity for hiking and relaxation, but also a way to learn about flora and fauna along the trail. Additionally, there are plant guide signs along the trail that list twelve plants named after the zodiac signs, using either their names or homophones. Walking under the shade of trees, the trail gradually becomes smoother, eventually reaching its highest point at Guishan. Standing on Guishan, one can gaze at the blue Pacific Ocean and the fjord, enjoy the beautiful views of Nanao Fishing Port, and watch the sun rise from the sea, making it a wonderful place that offers different beautiful scenery in every season.
