Northeast and Yilan Coast - Bitou


After passing Nanya on the Coastal High, around the 85km mark, tourists will first be able to gaze upon Bitou Cape, extending into the crystal blue ocean around it! Those who admire Bitou Cape never forget to look back upon its majestic vessel-like erosion cliffs and the soldier-like mushroom rocks that stand uniformly upon erosion platforms, as an armada ready for battle. The name Bitou Cape, meaning Tip-of-the-Nose in Chinese, comes from the cape landform that protrudes into the ocean in the shape of a nose. The steep and protruding cape is much angulated, while under the towering cliffs waves wait in line to crash upon them, naturally revealing the grandeur of Mother Nature.

Besides comfortably strolling within Bitou Cape Park, visitors can also admire the rich ecology and geological scenery. Three well planned trails pass through majestic bay-and-mountain scenes, mystical varying erosion landforms, impressive wave and shore views, diverse shore vegetation and a wide range of ecological sights. Also, the trails will offer a 360-degree elevated vantage point from where tourists will be able to fully experience the beauty of their surrounding nature.
