Nanzi Lin Trail Introduction
The Nanzilin Trail, commonly known as "Nanzi Mian," is nestled behind the Nanya Fishing Port in Ruifang. The name indicates that it is located south of the Water Nan Cave towards Bihou Cape. The trail is well-planned with a wooden boardwalk in the initial section, transitioning to stone steps in the middle and latter parts, making it easy to navigate. Upon reaching the heights, visitors can enjoy the breathtaking view of the Northeast Coast's bays and the lush green mountains, offering a friendly mountain-sea scenic path. This high-value trail spans only 990 meters, with a viewing platform at an elevation of 196 meters, allowing visitors to reach the summit in just 30 to 60 minutes. This short journey provides an opportunity to admire the stunning mountain and sea views. The cliff platform at the eastern peak of Nanzilin offers an unobstructed view of the vast ocean ahead, while the famous Golden Ten-Edge stands behind. The main peak's Bagua Star landmark radiates towards popular nearby attractions, including Keelung Islet, Yin Yang Sea, Keelung Mountain, the Water Nan Cave Thirteen-Tier Ruins, the No-Ear Teapot Mountain, the Jianlong Ridge, Bihou Cape, the Coastal Highway, Nanya Odd Rock, and the Nanya Fishing Port, showcasing many scenic spots in the Northeast Coast. From dawn to dusk, the accessible Nanzilin Trail attracts many photography enthusiasts. Spring and summer are perfect for capturing the dawn at Nanya Fishing Port and the sunset over Keelung Mountain; during autumn and winter, the mountains sway with silvery miscanthus flowers in the wind, creating a romantic and ethereal atmosphere. Evening is an ideal time to capture the car tracks along the coastal road and the fishing lights at sea.
