48 Highland
四八高地
A coastal highland at the southern end of Qixingtan that was once a military outpost, offering views over the crescent bay of Qixingtan and toward Qingshui Cliff.
48 Highland sits at the southern end of the Qixingtan Scenic Area. It was once a military outpost, and tunnels and pillboxes from that era remain, though the site is now open as a lookout trail. From the top you can look over the crescent-shaped pebble bay of Qixingtan, the Pacific Ocean, and the Central Mountain Range in the distance. On clear days, you can see the coastline toward Qingshui Cliff to the north. It's also a great spot to watch the sunrise. Admission is free, and the walk takes about 30 minutes. From Qixingtan Beach, follow the bike path south to reach it. It pairs well with a visit to the Qixing Bonito Museum.
