Tiao Shui Ancient Trail Introduction
The Water Carrying Ancient Path is one of the six ancient paths of porters in Bagua Mountain, dating back to the Qing Dynasty. It currently consists of stone steps, brick paths, cement roads, and dirt paths, which have been planned and organized as a walking trail. The Water Carrying Ancient Path can be accessed from No. 159, Yuan Cao Road (County Road 148), where a Japanese-style torii gate and a parking lot are set up. Along the way, there are many resting points to pause. In April, visitors can enjoy not only the beauty of the tung blossoms but also the dancing butterflies. Halfway along the ancient path, there are two natural springs called Longfeng Spring, which is the best spot to admire tung flowers. The path is generally flat and easy to walk, although some sections can be steep and require caution. It is a suitable route for families to enjoy tung blossoms and butterfly watching. ▌Trail Length: 2.01 kilometers. ▌Walking Time: 1.5 hours ▌Facilities: Entrance feature, parking lot (motorcycles and cars), restrooms, pavilions, plaza, seating, signage, interpretive signs.
