baoshishan Trail(報時山步道)

The entrance to the Chimes Mountain Trail is located next to the parking lot of the Church of the Persuasion, so you can get there right away after parking your car. The trail is very short, so you can combine it with the Chapel Hill Climbing Tour!

Walking up the Chimes Hill Trail, you can see the top of Chapel Hill very clearly. I walked up there first, and only when I was about to leave did I realize that there was another trail that I could take, and realized that it wouldn’t take me long to get up there.

The road behind the broken red brick house is the road to Chapel Hill, which many people head straight for, and the red brick is a popular photo stopping point, with many people stopping by.

Looking down, you can see the Suwang-dong Fishing Harbor & the Sea of Yin Yang (in the middle of the photo), and the round observation deck in the upper left corner is the end of the trail, which is very short.

The entire trail is above the ridge.

In addition to the ocean, there is also a Keelung Mountain in front of you, with mountain and ocean views. Although the trail is short, the scenery is not too shabby at all, and you can stay for a short while on the round observation deck at the end, blowing on the ocean breeze and quietly looking into the distance.
