"Northernmost Frontier" Monument

國之北疆

A stone monument and trail on the sea-facing north tip of Dongyin, inscribed “Northernmost Frontier.” It is regarded as the northernmost landmark under the actual jurisdiction of the Taiwan authorities.

The “Northernmost Frontier” lies on the north coast of Dongyin Island (West Dongyin). A stone marker inscribed “Northernmost Frontier” faces Beigu Reef and the open sea, and it is a must-see landmark for visitors to Dongyin. A stepped trail leads down to the sea, where you can get a close look at granite reef shores eroded by waves. The scenery at sunset is excellent. Admission is free all day. The trail is steep, so take care when it rains or in strong winds. It is about 15 minutes by bike from Dongyin Pier.
