Nanzi Lin Trail Introduction
Hidden behind the Nanya Fishing Port in Ruifang, the Nanziling Trail, commonly known as "Nanzai Mian," refers to the area located to the south of Shui Nang Dong heading toward Bitou Cape. The trail is well-planned; the beginning is paved with a wooden boardwalk, while the middle to latter sections consist of stone stairs, making it overall smooth and easy to walk. After climbing, one can enjoy a panoramic view of the northeastern coastline, multi-layered green mountains, making it a very accessible mountain and sea scenic trail. With high value for the beautiful scenery, the entire Nanziling Trail is only 990 meters long; the viewpoint is at an elevation of 196 meters, and it takes only 30-60 minutes to reach the summit. This short journey offers unbeatable views of the mountains and sea. At the cliff platform of the eastern peak, looking ahead reveals the endless ocean, while behind is the famous Golden Ten Peaks. With 360-degree beautiful sights, the main peak's Eight-Star Mace landmark radiates towards surrounding popular attractions such as Keelung Island, Yin Yang Sea, Keelung Mountain, the Thirteen Levels Ruins of Shui Nang Dong, the Earless Teapot Mountain, the Jianlong Ridge, Bitou Cape, Coastal Highway, Nanya Qiyan, and Nanya Fishing Port. From dawn to dusk, the friendly and approachable Nanziling Trail attracts many photography enthusiasts. Spring and summer are suitable for capturing the dawn at Nanya Fishing Port and the sunset over Keelung Mountain; in autumn and winter, the silver-white miscanthus flowers sway in the wind, creating a romantic and ethereal atmosphere. Evening is an exquisite time to capture the car trails along the coastal highway and the fishing lights on the sea.
