[2025 New Taipei City ] Travel Guide for Nanzilin Trail (Updated Feb)

The Northeast Coast, with its mountains facing the sea, has always been a popular spot for people to take a break and enjoy nature. Not only does it offer stunning ocean views, but it also has several coastal trails where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way, which is truly therapeutic! This time, the plan is to spend a day by the sea, and the reason for choosing the Nanzilin Trail is that it only takes 990 meters to walk from the seaside to the top of the mountain. The front part of the trail is a wooden boardwalk with steps, but the slope is not steep, making it friendly and easy to walk. Nanzilin Mountain has an elevation of less than 200 meters, and because the summit is unobstructed, it offers a 360-degree panoramic view. The mountain and sea scenery of the Northeast Coast can be seen in all its glory.

The "Nanzichen Trail" is located in Ruifang, New Taipei City. The altitude is about 200 meters. It takes about half an hour to reach the top. It is a healthy trail suitable for walking after meals. The first half is mainly made of wooden stairs, while the second half is made of stone stairs. There are pavilions along the way where you can rest, drink water and have a picnic, with a vague view of the sea. If the season is right, there are also miscanthus to watch. Although it is not as spectacular as the Caoling Ancient Trail, it still has a unique flavor~ The top of the mountain has almost a 360-degree view, overlooking Teapot Mountain and Nanya Fishing Port! This trail is very friendly to novice climbers and hikers. It is recommended that everyone travel to the northeast corner and spend 1-1.5 hours walking.
