Longting Historic Trail Introduction
Once a major route for trade between Yuanlin and Nantou, also known as the Tiao Salt Ancient Trail, the path is constructed using local stone materials, preserving its ancient character. The trail is approximately 1.7 kilometers long and is a gently rising shaded path, with only its branch sections featuring steep steps. Along the way, visitors can enjoy close views of starfruit, lychee, and other fruit trees, as well as low-altitude broadleaf forest landscapes. The trail has diverse routes extending to nearby temples such as Cihui Temple, Guangtian Temple, and Yuyi Temple, which provide parking spaces and drinking water (subject to changes due to the pandemic), making it very suitable for public leisure hiking. Trail length: 1.69 kilometers. Walking time: 1 hour. Facilities: parking lot (for motorcycles and cars), benches, interpretation boards, guideposts, and viewing platforms.
