Nanzihlin Trail Introduction
Located behind the Nanya Fishing Port in Ruifang, the Nanzi-Lin Trail, commonly known as "Nanzi Mian," refers to the southern side of the area from Water Nan Cave to Cape Bih. The trail is well-planned, with a wooden boardwalk in the front segment and stone steps in the middle to the back segment, making it easy to navigate. From the top, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the northeastern coastline and the lush green mountains, making it a friendly and accessible mountain-sea scenic trail. The trail stretches only 990 meters, with an observation deck at an elevation of 196 meters, requiring just 30-60 minutes to reach the summit. In this short distance, one can admire the stunning mountain and sea views, with the cliff platform at the eastern peak offering a vast view of the ocean ahead and the famous Golden Ten Edge behind. The main peak features the Eight Star Mung landmark, radiating towards popular nearby attractions such as Keelung Island, Yin Yang Sea, Keelung Mountain, the Shih San Chen Ruins at Water Nan Cave, Wuer Tea Pot Mountain, Jianshan Ridge, Cape Bih, Coast Highway, Nanya奇岩 (Nanya Qiyan), and Nanya Fishing Port, allowing for a panoramic view of many northeastern scenic spots. From dawn to dusk, the accessible Nanzi-Lin Trail attracts many photography enthusiasts. Spring and summer are perfect for capturing dawn at Nanya Fishing Port and sunsets over Keelung Mountain. In autumn and winter, the mountains are adorned with swaying silver-white miscanthus, creating a romantic and ethereal atmosphere. During the evening, it is an ideal moment to capture the trails of vehicles on the coastal highway and fishing lights on the sea.
