Daxi Fishing Port
Daxi Fishing Port, which is adjacent to the Guishan Island Fishing Ground, has abundant and diverse fisheries. If you want to taste the delicious fresh seafood served directly to your table, you might as well arrange a gourmet tasting trip to Daxi Fishing Port to experience it for yourself!
This is a fish market recommended by locals. Every afternoon from 2 to 3 pm, fishing boats return to the port with full loads, and fishermen carry the catches they have worked hard to catch all night to the shore. Even on weekdays, you can still see a constant stream of people coming and going in the fishing port. When you see piles of fresh fish and shrimps placed on the ground, you know that the fish auction is about to begin! From bidding, gesticulating, bargaining to the sale, the exciting shouting makes the Daxi fishing port full of the hearty and simple fishermen's style. If you want to experience the lively auction fun, you can also choose the fish you like and join in the bidding. Fresh and cheap freshly caught seafood is a good choice for both giving away and enjoying!

Beiguan Tide Park
One of the Eight Scenic Spots in Lanyang: A Secret Reef Sea View
If you want to enjoy the spectacular reefs and waves, the stunning sea and sky, the panoramic view of Guishan Island and the trains running by, come to Beiguan Tidal Park to feast your eyes!
Located in Toucheng Town, on the coast of the Northeast Coast, this seaside park has a rich and magnificent mountain and sea view, and has become one of the secret attractions on the North Coast Highway! The park is full of reefs and rocks, and you can see the geological features such as the single-sided mountain, tofu rock, and small cape that have been eroded for tens of millions of years. There are also stairways, trails, and sea-viewing pavilions between the boulders and the mountains. The trails meander up according to the terrain, leading visitors through a narrow strip of sky sandwiched between two rocks. In the quiet Tidal Park, the sunlight becomes mild and comfortable as it passes through the woods. It is quite an experience to listen to the sound of waves hitting the rocks while admiring the unique scenery of the coast among the rugged reefs.
Walk to the high sea-viewing pavilion, and you can have a clear view of the Lanyang Plain, the beautiful scenery of Guiyu Island and the sea view of Waiao from afar. If you look closely, you can see the roaring waves hitting the shore, the magnificent scenery and the magnificent atmosphere. The "Beiguan Sea Tide" among the eight scenic spots of Lanyang is well-known. Therefore, there has been a famous saying since ancient times: "The key to Lanyang City is on the mountainside, and the snowy waves are flying and echoing with the raging tide", which describes the surging and magnificent scenery of the sea tide.
Beiguan was originally a checkpoint during the Qing Dynasty. The stationed troops set up a checkpoint at that time because the terrain here was the best pass to prevent bandits from entering Yilan. There are two century-old cannons in the park. It is said that they were cast during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. They stand facing the sea and are covered with mulberry leaves, adding to the ancient charm of Beiguan.
This is a must-see for railway fans and photography enthusiasts. Standing at the top of the trail, watching the trains whizzing by between the mountains and the sea is a great satisfaction! The unbeatable sea view here is so beautiful that no matter how you take photos, it is especially recommended for photography enthusiasts to go there at high tide or sunrise, when the jagged rocks stand tall on the coast and the waves are surging, making it the best spot to take photos of the magnificent scenery.

Honeymoon Bay Surfing Beach
Daxi is famous for its crescent-shaped bay and clear blue waters. It is also known as the "Honeymoon Bay" because of the sight of beautiful couples lingering there. You can stroll on the soft beach, skip pebbles on the water, or look for devil crabs running all over the place. The atmosphere is filled with romance.
There are reefs on the north and south sides of Honeymoon Bay, with only a small part in the middle being a fine soft beach. In addition to the beautiful scenery and the opportunity to play in the water and enjoy the scenery, the bay is vast and the seabed terrain is very undulating a few hundred meters from the coast. The waves are often 2 or 3 meters high and the waves are turbulent. It is also a mecca for water activities and surfing, attracting many extreme challengers to come here to participate in national surfing competitions every year.

When you travel to Toucheng town, you must pay a pilgrimage to this unique landmark attraction - Lanyang Museum. The exterior of the building incorporates the "single-sided mountain" shape and rock joints of the Northeast Corner landscape. It has different tones as the seasons and the light and shadow of the sky change. From a distance, it seems to stand on the water, and the lake reflects the museum and the blue sky like a mirror. It is magnificent and elegant, and it is a beautiful scenery like a poem or a painting.
This place coexists with the earth and integrates with nature. In addition to the natural design of the building and the surrounding environment, the Wushigang wetland site is preserved, becoming a shelter for rich aquatic plants. The theme of the permanent exhibition in the museum also combines the architectural features. From top to bottom, there are mountain layers, plain layers, sea layers and time corridors. A walk can help you understand Lanyang's geographical features, natural ecology and cultural traces.
Lanyang Museum
This place is known as the first city of Yilan. It is the earliest developed place in Yilan. It is a combination of the architectural styles of Minnan and Western-style buildings during the Japanese colonial period, and the old alleys that later integrated the sense of modern life. It has a sense of age and is worth a careful appreciation. The advantage is that there are no messy stalls and the commercial atmosphere is not so heavy. In addition, everyone maintains a tacit understanding to maintain the environment clean and tidy. Coming here is like going back to the past. If you take a bus to Toucheng Railway Station, it is very convenient to walk 5 minutes to get there.
Toucheng Old Street
The yellow exterior walls are set against the blue sky and sea. Facing Guishan Island, it has its own beach and a blue seawall trail. When the sun sets on the sea at dawn and dusk, the silhouettes of tourists playing come into view, which contrasts with the beautiful scenery of Guishan Sunrise and the God Turtle wearing a hat. In addition to the stunning scenery, Wai'ao Beach is also a paradise for surfers. There are shops next to the beach that provide surfing lessons, and novices can also enjoy the thrill of running on the waves. There is a paragliding base on the top of a nearby mountain. After taking a paraglider to the sky, you can overlook the entire Wai'ao coastline, which is beautiful and spectacular. The rich land, sea and air activities here attract many tourists to take risks.

The Lanhai Railway Five Fishing Villages Project focuses on the five fishing villages of Shicheng, Dali, Daxi, Gengfang, and Waiao, located north of Wushi Port in Toucheng, to launch the most beautiful mountain and sea fishing railway trip in Taiwan. Shicheng is the northernmost small fishing village among the five fishing villages. Shicheng Fishing Port is the northernmost port in Toucheng, Yilan, and is also a very mysterious small fishing port with hidden intersections. Every time I drive on Coastal Highway 2, I never pay attention to Shicheng, a small fishing village. This time I accidentally turned into Shicheng Fishing Port and found that this small fishing port is a different world. Not only does it have a bicycle lane, but it also has a sea viewing platform and a rest pavilion. Many friends who ride bicycles and electric vehicles pass by Shicheng Fishing Port and will enjoy the beautiful sea view and rest for a while! !
