Jinren and Magang Trail Introduction
Enjoy the exclusive tranquility at Aokou Trail. There are two trails in Nangan, Matsu that weave through the mountains. One is the "Jinren Trail," which connects the villages of Jinsha and Ren'ai. Starting from Tiebang, it passes by Tiebao and reaches Jinsha, which is a fantastic spot to overlook the entire Jinsha settlement and enjoy the sunset! Walking along the wooden plank road, the beautiful scenery of Jinsha, resembling a mountain town, unfolds before your eyes, especially at sunset when the golden sunlight spills over the roofs of the Min Dong-style buildings, creating a stunning view. The other trail, "Magang Trail," begins at Jinsha Reservoir, passing through Shengtian Park and continues to Mazu village. Strolling along the trail, the vast sea view is refreshing, with colorful azaleas blooming by the roadside in spring, and in late summer to early autumn, the red flowers of Lycoris radiata, also known as "spider lily," dot the landscape, providing different scenery throughout the seasons, making it perfect for hiking or walking. In the past, the Jinren and Magang trails were military vehicle paths used for wartime preparedness. Due to a lack of cement and other building materials during construction, only two narrow paths resembling tracks were laid in the middle of the road for military vehicles. Nowadays, although most vehicle paths on the island have been converted into cement roads, the majority of the trail still retains the characteristics of these vehicle paths.
