Nan Zi Lin Trail Introduction
The Nanzi Lin Trail, commonly known as "Nan Zi Mian," is hidden behind the Nanya Fishing Port in Ruifang. It is located to the south of the viewpoint from the Water Nan Cave towards Bitou Cape. The trail is well-planned, featuring a wooden plank path at the front section and stone steps in the middle and back sections, making it overall smooth and easy to walk. Upon climbing, visitors can enjoy the breathtaking views of the northeastern coast's bay and the lush, tiered mountains, making it a very accessible mountain-sea scenic trail. This high cost-performance scenic path, measuring only 990 meters in total, offers stunning views of many mountain and sea attractions in the northeastern corner. The viewing platform sits at an elevation of 196 meters, and it takes only 30-60 minutes to reach the summit. Within this short distance, one can appreciate the unbeatable mountain-sea scenery. The cliff platform at the eastern peak of Nanzi Lin gives a view of the limitless sea ahead, while the famous Golden Ten Ridge rises behind. With a 360-degree perspective filled with beautiful sights, the main peak marked by the Eight Star Grass radiates towards various popular attractions in the vicinity, including Keelung Island, Yin Yang Sea, Keelung Mountain, the Shih San Cheng Ruins at Water Nan Cave, the No Ear Teapot Mountain, Jianlong Ridge, Bitou Cape, Coastal Highway, Nanya Qiyang, and Nanya Fishing Port. From dawn to dusk, the approachable Nanzi Lin Trail attracts many photography enthusiasts. Spring and summer are ideal for capturing the dawn at Nanya Fishing Port and the sunset at Keelung Mountain; in autumn and winter, the mountains come alive with silver-white silver grass swaying in the wind, creating a romantic and ethereal atmosphere. During the evening, it is the perfect time to capture the car trails on the coastal highway and the fishing lights at sea.
