Jinren and Magang Trail Introduction
Enjoy the exclusive tranquility at Aokou Trail. There are two trails in Nangan, Matsu that wind through the mountains. One is the "Jinren Trail," connecting the villages of Jinsa and Ren'ai. The trail starts from Tieban, passes by Tiebao, and reaches Jinsa, which is an excellent spot to overlook the entire Jinsa settlement and watch the sunset! Walking on the wooden plank road, the beautiful scenery of Jinsa resembles a mountain city, especially during sunset when golden sunlight spills over the roofs of the Min Dong-style buildings, creating a stunning view. The other trail, "Magang Trail," starts from Jinsa Reservoir, passes through Shengtian Park, and leads to Matsu Village. Strolling along the trail, the vast sea surface refreshes the mind, and in spring, various azaleas bloom along the way. In late summer and early autumn, red spider lilies, known as the shore flowers, embellish the path. Each season offers different scenery, making it quite suitable for hiking or walking. Originally, the Jinren and Magang trails were constructed as military vehicle paths. Due to a lack of cement and other building materials at the time, only two narrow tracks resembling railway tracks were laid in the middle of the road for military vehicles to pass. Although most of the roadways on the island have been transformed into cement roads, the majority of the trail still retains the characteristics of the original vehicle paths.
