There are a lot of trails to choose from in Taroko National Park, each with its own characteristics and beautiful scenery.
Even novices can ride it - "Xiaoludangdang" Xiaozuilu & Shakadang Trail
Xiaozuilu Trail
- Xiaozuilu is at the east entrance of Shakadeng Tunnel
- It is called this because you can enjoy the terrain similar to Zuilu Cliff at the east end entrance.
- But it's definitely more than that. Here you can overlook the archway of the east-west section of the highway.
- You can also admire the valley downstream of Liwu River and the Jinwen Bridge on the stream.
- Another feature of the Xiaozuilu Trail is the two completely different valley suspension bridges.
- "Exploration Suspension Bridge" and "Plank Suspension Bridge", the former is made of knotted ropes
- The limit is 5 people, and the latter is 20 people. Here you have to walk two at a time!
Shakadang Trail
- The original name of Shakadang Trail is "Mysterious Valley Trail"
- However, in the upper reaches of Shakadong River, there is a well-known Taroko tribe-"Datong Tribe"
- Because the tribe's old name was "Skadang", the name of the trail has been adopted.
- This trail was built at the end of the Japanese colonial period and was originally used to repair dams and large water pipes.
- After some renovation, it is now open to tourists.
- It also gives everyone the opportunity to see the canyon landscape and rich natural ecology along the way.
- The ecological environment of Shakadang Trail is very rich
- The terrain of river valleys and rock walls allows the plants here to be divided into dry and wet types, giving each section of the road a different scenery.
- It looks like a fern stone wall or a group of banyan trees. The most impressive thing is the "big folds" on the rock wall, which are like layers of layer upon layer of cake.
