Sailing Boat Nose Introduction
Cape of Sailboats is located at the southeast corner of Green Island, a cape surrounded by the sea on three sides. It features an elevated coral reef terrace about 30 meters above sea level, which is a relatively flat uplifted terrace. The terrace is covered with lush green grass, earning the nickname "Green Island Carpet" for the grassland at Cape of Sailboats. From Cape of Sailboats, looking north, you can see the coastal cliffs and stunning geological formations of Hsiao Zhen Ping in the distance; nearby, you can overlook the three circular hot spring pools and modern facilities of Chaoshui Hot Springs; to the west lies a large coral reef skirt at Baisha Bay, and on clear days, you can see Lanyu at the southern horizon—it's a mesmerizing view, resembling a fairyland. Due to its prominent terrain and elevation above the surrounding area, Cape of Sailboats is subjected to the northeast monsoon winds; coupled with later grazing, it has formed a low grassland landscape. Every year in April and May, the Southern Cross constellation can be observed at Cape of Sailboats, making it an excellent place for birdwatching during the migratory seasons in spring and autumn.
