Chaoyang National Trail Introduction
Chaoyang National Trail is located on the southern side of Guishan Hill in the Chaoyang Community of Nanao Village. The trail has three entrances and stretches approximately 2.2 kilometers in length, featuring four observation decks along the way where visitors can take a break and admire the beautiful views of the Suhua Coastal Area, Wushi Harbor, Love Lake, Mandarin Duck Mountain, and the mysterious beach. The surrounding area of the Chaoyang National Trail is rich in diverse native plants, birds, and amphibians. One can often spot the black-naped oriole perched atop the trees or unexpected visitors appearing from the bushes. It offers not only hiking and relaxation but also an opportunity to learn about flora and fauna along the path. Additionally, there are plant guide signs along the trail listing 12 plants named after the Chinese zodiac based on their names or puns. Walking under the shade of the trees, the trail gradually becomes smoother until reaching its highest point, Guishan. Standing on Guishan, one can gaze at the azure Pacific Ocean and the fjord, enjoy the beautiful scenery of Nanao Fishing Port, and watch the sun rise from the sea. It is a great place that offers different beautiful sights in every season.
