Shicheng Service Area Introduction
The Shicheng Service Area, located about 300 meters from the Shicheng Settlement, is a great place for travelers to take a break and enjoy the scenery. It consists of three sections: the main service area, a parking lot, and a relief sculpture exhibition plaza. The brick-red main building blends harmoniously with the surrounding landscape. The plaza features multiple relief murals related to the cultivation history of Yilan, allowing visitors to appreciate the beauty of nature while learning about local cultural stories. The two-story building, constructed utilizing the coastal terrain, has an upper level connected to the parking lot, providing space for small shops and places for travelers to relax and enjoy the ocean view. The lower level, closer to the coastline, is equipped with public restrooms for public use. Known for its breathtaking views, the aroma of coffee wafts through Shicheng's newly established first picturesque coastal café, reimagined by the management office. The café features a design with many windows and few walls, enhancing the experience of the beautiful surrounding scenery. As you travel along the coastal highway, gazing towards the azure Pacific Ocean, the appearance of this café brings an indescribable joy. Sitting on the open-air observation platform, you can enjoy a signature coffee, paired with light snacks and soft music. The scenery in front of you changes with time, allowing you to admire the distant tranquil Guishan Island, the vast Pacific Ocean, hardworking fishermen, groups of fishing boats, and the coastal wave-cut platforms during the day; the breathtaking sunset over Guishan Island paints the sky in colors at dusk; and at night, you can see fishing lights flickering on the ocean surface, creating a different atmosphere altogether. If your travels bring you here, consider stopping to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and experience the leisurely and unique charm of Shicheng!
