- Coastal ridge panorama — The trail runs along a high coastal spine, so you get uninterrupted views of the Pacific and the jagged northeast coastline. On clear days you can watch trains and fishing boats threading the shore below — a very different kind of mountain view than the typical inland forests.
- Autumn silvergrass slopes — From late September into November the hills light up with rolling miscanthus (silvergrass). It’s one of Taiwan’s signature seasonal landscapes and a photographer’s dream: wide, shimmering swathes that feel almost cinematic compared with most wooded hikes.
- Historic stone path and inscriptions — Parts of the trail are the original Qing-era route, with old stone steps, carved milestones and memorial plaques. Walking it gives a real sense of travel from another century

- Historic stone path and inscriptions — Parts of the trail are the original Qing-era route, with old stone steps, carved milestones and memorial plaques. Walking it gives a real sense of travel from another century — more cultural trail than manicured park.
- Fulong/railway combo — The trail is easily paired with Fulong Beach and the northeast rail line, so you get that classic seaside-Taiwan vibe: sandy beaches, simple seafood stalls, and trains rumbling past the shore. It’s convenient and makes for a nice post-hike cooldown.
- Coastal wildlife and wildflowers — Because the path sits above scrub and grassland rather than dense canopy, you’ll often see migratory seabirds, butterflies and seasonal wildflowers against an ocean backdrop. It’s relaxing wildlife-spotting without the slog of deep jungle hiking.
