2026 Walk Into TaiwanTrail 02

The Coastline

Where the island faces the world.
Longdong Bay Cape Ridge × Jasmine
A coastal conversation about distance, direction, and what walking brings home.

SPIRIT

You leave so you can see yourself differently when you return.

For the international student who isn't sure what's next — for the traveler who wants to remember how big the world is — a coastline is the right kind of trail. Mountain on your left, Pacific on your right, no visible end ahead. As you walk, the world quietly becomes bigger than you thought. So do you.

This is not a sightseeing day. It's a rehearsal for going somewhere far.

走出去,是為了回來時看見不一樣的自己。海岸線是最適合走的地方——左邊是山,右邊是海,前面沒有看得到的終點。走著走著,世界比你以為的還大,你的可能性也是。這不是觀光,是預習「遠行」這件事。

Who You'll Walk With

茉莉老師 Jasmine Liu
Lead Walker · Outdoor Educator

PEVA's founding Lead Walker. Has lived across South America, Nepal, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States — then walked her way home to Taiwan. WFR · EMT-1 certified. Fifteen years of K-12 outdoor education across Taiwan. Longdong is the trail she takes anyone visiting Taiwan for the first time — when they ask what the island actually feels like.

What we'll talk about · QUESTIONS
  • What do you bring home from a long walk — beyond the photos?
  • Why has humanity walked toward coastlines for thousands of years?
  • Could you imagine a longer walk one day — a Camino, a Kumano? What's stopping you?
THE TRAIL

Longdong Bay Cape Ridge
龍洞灣岬岩稜

Longdong · Northeast Coast · 6 hr

One of Taiwan's most dramatic coastlines — walking along the cape ridge with the Pacific on your right the entire way. Moderate difficulty, this is the trail for people who want to find out if they can go a little further than they thought.

Trail highlights

Sun-exposed sandstone ridge × wind-carved sculpture × sea cliffs
Short rocky scrambles (no technical climbing)
Mountain and ocean in the same frame
Back to Taipei in time for dinner
WHY

For international walkers, age 15–25

  • A trail with views you'll absolutely photograph — but where you'll actually want your phone away
  • Taiwan's geographic gift: mountain and ocean walked in a single day
  • Just enough challenge to feel like you did something — without scaring off newcomers
  • The right entry point if you're curious about ridgelines but not ready for the Alps
