- Scenic Spot Introduction | Jinshan, Shimen, and Sanzhi: A Day Trip to the Classic Scenery

▲ Lion's Head Mountain Park
Located approximately 70 meters above sea level on Jinshan Cape, it offers stunning views of Yehliu Cape to the east and Huanggang Fishing Port and the mountain and seascapes of Zhongjiao to the west. Enjoy the "Three Wonders of the Jinshan Coast": Candlestick Twin Islets, Huanggang Fishing Lights, and the Moonlit Waterfall at Shuiwei. This area, long protected by military control, boasts a rich and intact ecological landscape. Recent restoration efforts have resulted in the occasional sight of Taiwan lilies or golden spider lilies in full bloom along the trails, depending on the season.
Transformed from a former military coastal defense zone into a tourist destination, the mountain area retains old barracks, bunkers, and artillery batteries, along with pristine natural scenery. The forest trails, bordered by the sea on three sides, offer exceptional views. The circular trail is lined with trees, and the Maitreya Buddha, Afu, always greets visitors with a smile. On the mountain, you can admire the "Candlestick Twin Islands," shaped like two candlesticks and associated with the poignant legend of the "Couple Rock." The best vantage point for photographing them is from the Lion's Head Mountain Observation Deck.
