Passing by the Jixi Coastal Recreation Area on the southbound route, the roadside parking lot is the entrance to the Dashibishan hiking trail.

The Dashibishan hiking trail is a total of 910 meters long, mostly made of wooden sleepers and stone steps. There are mileage markers and pavilions with seating along the way. If the weather is hot, you can go to the newly opened south entrance first to use the vending machine to replenish cool drinks before heading to the trail. The Dashibishan Rest Area is well-planned overall, and the scenery from the viewing platform is very healing. The key is that it only takes about 15 minutes of walking to see the beauty of the horizon where the sea and sky meet. The continuous and spectacular wooden boardwalk, with blue sky, mountain layers, and the sea as its background, is one of the must-take photos for many internet celebrities and influencers. You can easily take beautiful photos even without a professional camera and skills. After finishing the trail, you can go to the indigenous seafood restaurant opposite the parking lot to enjoy a fresh and delicious specialty meal before continuing your journey.
