Chaoyang National Trail Introduction
Chaoyang National Trail is located on the hills of Guishan, to the south of the Chaoyang Community in Nanao Village. The trail has three entrances and spans approximately 2.2 kilometers in length, featuring four scenic viewpoints along the way where visitors can take a break and enjoy beautiful sights such as the Suhua Coastal Area, Wushi Nose Gorge, Love Lake, Mandarin Duck Mountain, and the Mysterious Beach. Surrounding the Chaoyang National Trail is a rich diversity of native plants, birds, and amphibians, with opportunities to spot the Black Bulbul perched on tree tops or unexpected visitors in the grass. Not only is it a great place for hiking and relaxation, but also for learning about flora and fauna along the trail. There are also plant guide signs along the path that list plants named after the 12 zodiac signs either by their names or homophones. Walking under the shade of trees, the trail gradually becomes gentler, ultimately leading to the highest point at Guishan. From the top of Guishan, one can gaze upon the blue Pacific Ocean and the fjord, enjoy the picturesque view of Nanao Fishing Port, and watch the sunrise over the sea, making it a great place to experience different scenic beauty throughout the seasons.
