Director You Liyu of the Northeast and Yilan Coast National Scenic Area Administration said that the Caoling Historic Trail and the mountain and sea scenery in the Northeast attract many tourists every year. The film "The Pulse of Mountains and Seas on Caoling Historic Trail", which won the Golden Gate Award at the International Travel Fair (ITB) in Berlin, Germany, is based on the scenery and beautiful mountains and seas along the Caoling Historic Trail in the Northeast Coast, and links up with the special attractions of the surrounding Cinque Terre villages, hoping to lead the public to visit the Caoling Historic Trail and explore the local nature and cultural life in depth. In addition, at this Berlin Travel Fair, the National Center for Traditional Arts Yilan Campus (Quanlian Shanmei Cultural Arts Foundation) won the third place in the Green Destination Story Culture and Tradition category of the Berlin Travel Fair in Germany with the story "The Art of the Mandarin Turtle - Reviving the Lost Folk Art and Recreating the Classics", jointly promoting Northeast Coast tourism and the vitality of the Greater Northeast Coast tourism circle industry.
Caoling Historic Trail is 8.5 kilometers long and has a century-old history and natural mountain and sea scenery. This video begins with an aerial view of the century-old mountain trail, leading the audience into Caoling Historic Trail. The camera also captures historical sites such as the Xiongzhen Manyan Moshi and the Tiger Stele, the beautiful scenery of the autumn silvergrass, and the sea view of Guishan Island from the top of the pass. It also connects Dali Tiangong Temple, Cliff House (No. 9 Coffee Stone City Hall), Beiguan Haichao Park, Daxi Fishing Port, Waiao Service Area, Lanyang Museum and Guishan Island, which are popular recreational attractions in Northeast Corner and Toucheng. The overall tour allows the public to know and feel the humanities and natural customs of Caoling Historic Trail and surrounding attractions in the video. We hope that by participating and winning awards, we can attract more domestic and foreign tourists to travel to the Northeast Corner and experience the charm of Caoling Historic Trail and the mountains and seas of the Northeast Corner for themselves!
In addition to the attractions in the video, there are many attractions around the Northeast Coast that are worth your careful appreciation. The National Center for Traditional Arts Yilan Traditional Arts Park, which participated in the Northeast Coast Management Office's "Green Travel Seal (GTS)" assistance project and obtained the seal, has rich traditional cultural experiences and tours. In order to inherit the weaving skills and culture of the "Ganzi Turtle", a sacrificial offering in Jiaoxi, Yilan, it leads professionals to inventory and preserve the stories and cultural relics of the Ganzi Turtle, invites craftsmen to replicate the Ganzi Turtle, and invites the public to participate in the ceremony of begging for oranges from turtles. It is very suitable for adults and children to experience together. Everyone is welcome to arrange a trip to Toucheng and visit the National Center for Traditional Arts Yilan Traditional Arts Park to feel the mountain and sea time of Kailan's capital city and experience Yilan's local traditional life and stories.
