The Bitou Cape Trail in northern Taiwan features scenic coastal landforms carved by erosion. The 3km trail runs along cliffsides and passes a 120m tall lighthouse, where one can see the East China Sea and Pacific Ocean meeting. Hiking the trail, visitors can explore rugged sea caves, platforms, and enjoy ocean vistas. The route consists of the Lighthouse, Valley, and Coastal trails, each offering unique views of the eroded coastal landscape.

From afar, Bitou Cape looks like the nose of a kitten leaning by the sea. The total area
of the cape is about 4 to 5 km2, whose tall abrasion caves, platforms and other eroded
landforms are clearly in sight on the cape's hanging cliff. With an elevation of about
120m, the famous Bitou Cape Lighthouse is at the end of the trail along which one can
enjoy the endless ocean scenes and the eroded landforms. Standing in the lighthouse,
waves from the East China Sea and the Pacific are meeting and flapping right in front
of you.
從遠處看起來，鼻頭角像似小貓的鼻子傾向著大海。鼻頭角的總面積大約 4 到 5
平方公里，在海角懸垂的峭壁處，可以清楚地看到耐磨性的蝕穴，平臺，和其他
侵蝕地貌。海拔大約 120m ，沿著享用不盡的海洋風光和侵蝕地貌，著名鼻頭角
燈塔就在步道的末端。站在燈塔附近，海浪從東海和太平洋會合，拍打在你的面
前。
