Dawu National Forest Trail Introduction
The smallest trail in Taiwan, Dawu National Forest Trail, is located in Dawu Township, Taitung. It is a circular path with gentle slopes and low elevation, making it suitable for leisurely outings for families. The diverse and rich primitive natural ecology here ranks it among the best in national parks, earning it the nickname "Dawu's Backyard Garden." The entrance to the Dawu National Forest Trail is next to the Forestry Bureau’s Dawu Work Station. Following the wooden steps upwards, you will reach the trailhead, where you can stroll amidst lush greenery, listen to the sounds of insects and birds, and enjoy the crashing waves on the beach. Your views will include dense forests, varying heights of rural cottages, and the inaccessible beauty of nature in daily life. Along the trail, there are information boards detailing plant species and terrain descriptions, as well as scenic pavilions for relaxation and picnicking.
