Harbour and shoreline
The roughly four-kilometre Huhai Road (湖海路) section links Waimushan Fishing Harbour (外木山漁港) with Dawulun Aodi fishing village (大武崙澳底漁村). Seafood restaurants and cafés are scattered along this stretch. Around Huhai Bay (湖海灣), long exposure to seawater has sculpted the coastal rocks into unusual shapes. Keelung Islet (基隆嶼) and ships entering the harbour are visible from the coastal path.
The coastal cycle route
The wider cycle route continues from Waimushan harbour to Wanli Happiness Plaza (萬里幸福廣場), covering about five kilometres. It combines the Waimushan and Huhai Bay sections, with asphalt paving and zigzag steel walkways. A coastal leisure plaza near the route’s far end occupies a converted swimming pool, with seating areas.
