The Northeast Coast National Scenic Area, known for its stunning coastal views, stretches across Taipei and Yilan counties and features a rich variety of natural and cultural attractions. It serves as a summer haven from the heat and a silvergrass wonderland in winter. Come spring, the area bursts with vibrant plant life—especially around the Qingming Festival, when the Taiwan lilies blooming in the Bitou Cape region are truly breathtaking.
This year, the Northeast Coast National Scenic Area has launched the brand-new “2010 Bitou Cape Spring Hike” event, inviting the public to explore a world of fascinating rock formations, the sound of crashing waves, scenic trails, and breathtaking views. Simply visit the Haitian Pavilion on the Bitou Cape Trail, Longdong Bay Park, or Longdong Four Seasons Bay during public holidays from April 10 to May 2, collect three event stamps, and you’ll receive an exclusive, beautifully crafted “2010 Bitou Cape Spring Hike” souvenir. You might even win a high-end foldable bike from Giant to take home.
During the public holiday period of the “2010 Bitou Cape Spring Hike” event, a free shuttle bus service is available from Fulong Visitor Center to Bitou Elementary School (first bus departs at 08:20). Visitors are advised to take the train to Fulong Station and then transfer to the shuttle bus to reach stops such as the Aodi Seafood Street, Longdong Four Seasons Bay, and Longdong Bay Park—destinations highly recommended for an insightful spring hiking experience. The Northeast Coast Scenic Area offers several well-marked and safe trails, including Bitou Cape, Longdong Bay Cape, Taoyuan Valley, and the Grass Mountain Ancient Trail, all surrounded by gorgeous scenery, making them perfect spots for leisurely walks and hikes.
While admiring the mountain and sea views of the Northeast Coast, don’t forget to enjoy a cup of coffee. The scenic area is dotted with unique cafés, many of which are situated along the coastline—so while sipping your coffee, you’ll be treated to magnificent coastal vistas. In this beautiful season of blooming flowers, aside from exploring the Bitou Cape Trail in search of wild lilies, sipping coffee with ocean views, don’t miss out on the “famous up north and down south” seafood of Aodi, or embark on a cycling adventure through the Old Caoling Tunnel, where surprises await at every turn.
During the “2010 Bitou Cape Spring Hike” event, the “Taiwan Good to Go” seamless shuttle service is being specially promoted. Free shuttle buses are arranged to encourage the use of public transportation. This not only helps alleviate traffic congestion but also allows visitors to easily explore the world-class scenic trails within the Northeast Coast area.
