Chaoyang National Trail Introduction
The Chaoyang National Trail is located on the hills of Guishan, south of the Chaoyang community in Nanao Village. The trail has three entrances and stretches approximately 2.2 kilometers along its main route, featuring four scenic observation platforms where visitors can take a break and enjoy the beautiful views of the Suhua Coastal Area, Wushi Harbor, the Love Lake, Yuanyang Mountain, and the mysterious beach. The surroundings of the Chaoyang National Trail are rich in diverse native plants, birds, and amphibians. Visitors may occasionally spot the Formosan Blue Magpie perched on tree branches or discover unexpected guests among the grass. The trail not only offers hiking and relaxation but also provides opportunities to learn about local flora and fauna. Additionally, there are plant information signs along the trail that list twelve plants named after the Chinese zodiac based on their names or homophones. Walking under the shade of trees, the trail gradually becomes gentler, ultimately reaching the highest point of Guishan. From the summit of Guishan, one can gaze at the blue Pacific Ocean and the fjords, enjoy the beautiful scenery of Nanao Fishing Port, and watch the sun rise above the sea—a great place to experience different beautiful views in every season.
