Jiancing is on the right bank of Dowan Creek and is an excellent vista point, you can look far into the distance on a sunny day after a long rain, even seeing all the way to the Lanyang Flats and Lanyang River.
Looking at the skyline afar a series of ranges is in view, the immense expansion of the Hsuehshan, Taoshan, Dabajianshan and Shengling (or Holy Ridge). All together, a series of 3,000+ meters-tall peaks forms a fine spectacle, with kaleidoscopic sea of clouds. These are the reasons why this place is called "Jiancing" (or "seeing clear").
The mountains are covered with snow in the depths of winter, when the ranges give the illusion of a silver-and-powder world. Indeed, Jiancing shines with a brilliant, majestic splendor.
見晴懷舊步道
位於多望溪右岸,在久雨出晴之際,蘭陽平原和蘭陽溪美景可以一覽無遺,是絕佳的眺望點。
遠方天際線處可見峰峰相連的雪山山脈、桃山、大霸尖山、聖稜線等3000公尺以上的之壯闊景緻,及瑰麗多變的雲海景象,因之稱為「見晴」,在隆冬積雪時更顯得粉妝玉砌、壯麗巍峨。
