The Ocean Park is built on Nam Lang Mountain. The Seaside Park at the foot of the mountain is connected to the Summit Park on the south side of the mountain by a cable car. However, not the entire Nam Long Mountain belongs to the Ocean Park. A section of the cable car rescue trail on the east side is owned by the government, so part of the trail was subsequently opened to the public. A sign was placed in the middle section indicating that it belongs to the Ocean Park and hikers are prohibited from entering.
