Sailboat Nose Introduction
Cape Shengang is located at the southeastern corner of Green Island. It is a peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides, featuring an uplifted coral reef terrace about 30 meters above sea level, making it a quite flat protruding tableland. The land atop the cape is lush with grass, which has earned it the nickname "Green Island Carpet." Looking north from Cape Shengang, one can view the cliffs and breathtaking rock formations of Haisanping in the distance; closer views allow one to overlook the three circular hot spring pools of Chaoxi Hot Springs along with innovative architectural facilities. To the west is the extensive coral skirt of Baisha Bay, and on clear days, one can see Lanyu at the horizon where the sea meets the sky, creating a mesmerizing scene akin to a paradise on Earth. Due to its prominent terrain and elevated position, Cape Shengang lies within a wind corridor for the northeast monsoon, which, combined with subsequent grazing, has resulted in a low grassland landscape. Each year in April and May, visitors can enjoy views of the Southern Cross constellation from Cape Shengang, and during the migratory seasons in spring and autumn, it becomes an excellent place for birdwatching.
