Nan'ao one day trip (南澳一日遊）

Pacific views, forest paths, wet stairs, seafood if the day is kind.

A casual one-day escape to Nan'ao (南澳) — one of Yilan’s quieter coastal corners, where mountain trails drop toward the ocean and the plan stays just flexible enough for Taiwan weather.

We’ll meet inside TRA Tze-Chiang Limited Express No. 270（自強270） — check the best boarding station for you — and ride toward Nan'ao Station（南澳火車站） together. From there, expect a relaxed but active day on foot: several kilometers across trails, paved roads, stairs, and uneven paths.

The route, loosely held

• Chaoyang Trail（朝陽步道） for Pacific views, cliffs, and green ridgelines

• Huanshan Ecological Trail（環山生態步道） for a quieter forest walk

• Wetland Ecological Pond（濕地生態池） for a slower nature stop

• Chaoyang Fishing Harbor（朝陽漁港） for coastal views and, hopefully, seafood

• Nearby beaches, viewpoints, and local shops as time and weather allow

Bring what keeps you happy

Comfortable hiking shoes, 1–2 liters of water, lunch or snacks, sunscreen, a hat, insect repellent, and an umbrella or raincoat if storms look likely. If it’s wet, please take the stairs slowly — they can get slippery.

Plans may change, pause, or cancel depending on weather and safety. By joining, you’re responsible for your own safety and personal belongings.
