Discover Juguang’s Hidden Gems — Trail Highlights & Ecology
Dongyongshan Trail, Dongju Island: This trail offers a close-up view of the elegant Dongju Lighthouse. On the opposite side lies a 360-degree viewing platform, where visitors can take in the magnificent coastal formations—nicknamed the “Dongju Cliffs of Qingshui”—and the winding mountain-sea landscape reminiscent of the “Suhua Highway.”
Foshou Trail, Dongju Island: Shaped like the number “8,” this trail is located near a mysterious small bay and the towering Lühe Cliff. Visitors can enjoy sea breezes and admire the natural sea-eroded formations.
Dingshan Trail, Dongju Island: As the highest point on Dongju Island, Dingshan Trail offers exceptional views. From the summit, hikers can gaze toward Xiju’s Meng'ao Port, Daping Village, Fuzheng Village, and the Dongju Lighthouse—all in one sweeping panorama.
No. 14 Outpost Trail, Xiju Island: Filled with military imagery, this trail features shell-shaped streetlights and even a sundial, adding a playful touch to the hike.
