      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!
