      Introduction

      Anchor point
      The ocean always makes people feel relaxed both physically and spiritually, if you long for a close contact with the waves and the beach, but hate to be far away from the city, then you should take a trip to the North Coast! There is not only endless magnificent coast here, but there are many characteristic cafes with views in the periphery for you to take a break. What is more breathtaking is the miraculous engraving art performed by Mother Nature on the north coast, where the uncanny workmanship of marine erosion is guaranteed to widen your horizon. Other than the natural landscapes, there is also abundant cultural art waiting for you to explore!

      Explore in the mountains and visit the lakes – finding secret paradises in Xizhi. Visit Starlight Bridge and enjoy S-shaped twinkling stars.
      Ancient Kyoto-style century-old temple is hidden in Xizhi?! Gongbei Temple in Xizhi is well-known for maple appreciation during fall. Besides the beautiful maples’ red, Gongbei Temple that was built in 1906 is now more than a century old, and the stone-paved double arch bridge outside the Temple is equally classic and elegant. Paradise does not end here, following Xiwan Road and continue into the woods, there hides a lake surrounded by the mountains – it is Xinshan Dream Lake! The name “Dream Lake” originates from the frequent foggy sight during winter, which gives it a misty and fantastical ambiance, making it a popular attraction for many newlyweds’ wedding photo shoot! Following the hiking trail up into Xinshan and having a bird’s-eye view of Dream Lake, tourists will feel the tranquility and be freshened up from the summer heat. On the return trip back to downtown Xizhi, visitors are recommended to visit Xizhi Old Street on their way home. It is where Xizhi began its development and where many historic sites have been preserved. In this neighborhood, there are the old Babao Glass Noodle shop of more than 30 years and the legendary 6-decade-old savory porridge shop; and the evening market by the train station offers a wide array of hearty tasty eats. As the sky grows dark, the twinkling star lights over the Keelung River, and the winding S-shaped Starlight Bridge also shines like the stars in a galaxy after it is lit up at night. There is no better ending for your day as you take a walk after enjoying the street eats while enjoying the starry light!
