　　The park features naturally formed rock formations such as mesa cliffs, tofu rocks, and small capes, all shaped by millions of years of erosion. The clustered stones create a unique seascape along the east coast.

　　Amidst the giant rocks and rugged hills, stairways, walking paths, and ocean-view pavilions have been built, showcasing the distinctive coastal scenery. From the sea-viewing platform, you can gaze southward at Guishan Island and the Lanyang Plain, while up close, the crashing waves present a spectacular sight. This is the “Beiguan Sea Tide,” one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Lanyang.

　　The sea-viewing pavilion offers a clear view of offshore scenes such as Guishan Island and Waiao, as well as the panoramic landscape of the Beiguan area. Standing on the pavilion, you can admire the distant beauty of Guishan Islet and witness the powerful waves up close. The best times to visit Beiguan are during high tide or at sunrise. Two ancient cannons, cast during the Jiaqing era, stand facing the sea. With over 160 years of history, they add a sense of antiquity and a touch of old-world charm to Beiguan.
