Nanfang'ao Lookout

The magnificent panoramic view of Nanfang'ao Fishing Harbor has always been a favorite photographic subject for many enthusiasts. The Nanfang'ao Lookout, built on a cliff, has thus become the best spot for capturing these scenes. Standing on the wooden observation deck, visitors are treated to an expansive vista, encompassing the boundless Pacific Ocean, the continuous Bija Mountain (Pen-Holder Mountain), the unique Tofukap (Tofu Cape) landscape, and the classic sight of boats docked in the fishing harbor. On clear days, you can even spot Guishan Island (Turtle Island) in the distance! Expanded and renovated from an original parking lot, the Nanfang'ao Lookout is situated at the 108-kilometer mark of Suhua Highway, at an elevation of approximately 140 meters. This height offers a perfect perspective to overlook the twin fishing harbors of Nanfang'ao beneath the blue sky and vast ocean. The spacious open-air platform is completely unobstructed, ensuring every spot provides an excellent angle for enjoying the scenery. When you're here, don't hesitate to grab your phone or camera and capture a memorable photo of Nanfang'ao's stunning 'sea-and-sky-in-one-color' landscape! Throughout the day, the lookout offers ever-changing spectacles. The morning colors of the sunrise begin Nanfang'ao's small harbor with a gentle, glowing dawn. In the afternoon, the dazzling sunlight makes the fishing harbor scene even more vibrant and beautiful. As the sun sets and night falls, the sky transforms from a canvas of red clouds to scattered fishing lights and street lamps, and the Nanfang'ao fishing village returns to its nighttime tranquility. If you visit Nanfang'ao and wish to fully appreciate the harbor's charm and the breathtaking beauty where mountains meet the sea, both Nan-An Elementary School and the Nanfang'ao Lookout are highly recommended spots. From these elevated positions, overlooking such splendid natural scenery, you can truly clear your mind and relax your soul!
