Suao Qixingling Trail | Best Viewpoint for Panoramic Views of the Harbor

#AugustDestinations2025 Suao Qixingling Trail | The Best Panoramic Harbor Viewpoint The Qixingling Trail in Suao, Yilan, is approximately 2 kilometers long and can be completed in about 1.5 hours round trip. It's a popular hiking spot for locals and tourists alike. The trail, mostly stone steps shaded by trees, offers a refreshing and comfortable walk, making it a challenge suitable for both adults and children. Climbing to the vantage point of Qixingling, the most breathtaking view before you is the magnificent Suao Harbor. Freighters and fishing boats enter and exit the harbor, creating a captivating scene where the sea and sky merge. Looking back over the mountains, you'll see the Suao city center blending with the surrounding hills. This breathtaking fusion of mountain and sea is truly captivating. Visit at dusk, and the sunset will paint the sea a vibrant crimson, adding to the romantic atmosphere.

#AugustDestinations2025 ▎Summer Vacation in Suao Every summer vacation, I go back to my home in Suao for a day or two. Suao boasts mountains, ocean, hot springs, and cold springs—it's a great place for a vacation! The past two years when I've been to Suao, I've always gone to Doufu Cape to experience marine activities. Once I did a single-person SUP (stand-up paddle) and once I took a tandem kayak to the glassy beach of Zeizaiao. This time, we found our good friends Bella and Xiaoshuang's families to join us for a vacation. We went to Doufu Cape to play dragon boating! Bella has a son, and Xiaoshuang has two boys. There are 10 of us, three families, and it's fun and exciting to be out together. ▎Dragon Boats that can accommodate 12 people at a time There were a lot of people this time, so I opted for a two-in-one dragon boating and snorkeling activity, provided by Water Exploration Life and Leisure Co., Ltd. This company is really cool. Our instructor that day said they partner with major hotels like Longshanlin, Yanbo, Kaidu, and Jingying for their water activities. They also handled all water activities at this year's World Universiade, deploying a total of 180 lifeguards. They're a very professional company. The dragon boat we used was incredibly large, capable of seating 10-12 people. Later, I saw the instructor's aerial photos and saw that it actually held 12 people, with an instructor swimming behind us, keeping a close eye on safety. I don't know if it was the sheer weight of the boat (huh?) or the rough waves (probably that), but it took a lot of effort to reach the coral reef. ▎Finding Nemo and Mission Impossible It was my first time snorkeling. Watching fish swimming in the ocean was a completely different experience than watching them in an aquarium. It made me realize how mysterious nature truly is. But when we passed certain areas where we couldn't see any reefs at all, the bottomless waters were still a bit scary. At that moment, I was reminded of Tom Cruise's deep-sea dive scene in "Mission Impossible: The Reckoning." It was truly terrifying! Snorkeling, playing in the water, and taking photos—two hours flew by in the blink of an eye, and everyone had a blast. The company we used had a drone, which allowed us to take photos from different angles. The photos were also uploaded to the cloud for all visitors—a truly fantastic experience!

#AugustDestinations2025 #Yilan #9CaféShicheng - 9CaféShicheng is arguably the most beautiful cafe in northern Taiwan right now. The second floor, accessible only by appointment, features a specially designed photo-op area. Large glass windows bring the beautiful outdoors in, and there are chairs for tourists to sit and take photos. If your girlfriend were sitting on the chair and your boyfriend suddenly knelt down to propose, in such a romantic atmosphere, the proposal would probably be successful! - The light meals here are delicious. The seafood platter includes squid balls, hairtail fish rolls, chicken fillets, and golden fish nuggets. Everything is fried to a crispy perfection and pairs perfectly with the sweet and spicy Thai dipping sauce. - For those who prefer something lighter, order the warm duck breast salad. It's packed with vegetables, including carrots, summer squash, cucumbers, red and yellow bell peppers, and sweet potatoes. It's a huge bowl! The duck meat is salty and chewy, and the vinaigrette sauce is sour and sweet. Paired with two drinks, it's a satisfying meal!
