Most of the trail is composed of railway ties and stone stairs.If you walk upwards along the trail, you will see many of the residents’ plants, e.g. alianthus prickly ash, wild lilies, and common jasmin orange. The stairs of the trail are not steep. Also, the trail provides sea views, while its surroundings are filled with diverse natural resources. The entire trail takes around one hour to finish, suitable for all family members.

Jiqi Beach is a 3km-long fine sand beach, which is rare on the east coast. When the tide rises in the winter, the black sandstones will emerge from the sea; in contrast, the beach is golden when the tide recedes in the summer. The place is perfect for water and recreational activities. Now, the beach has developed into seaside areas featuring a bathing beach, campsite, etc. It is an excellent place for playing in the water and watching the tide.
