Walami Trail Introduction
The Walami Trail is located in Nan'an, Yuli, Hualien. The trail stretches approximately 13.5 kilometers from the trail entrance to the Walami Mountain Cabin, featuring gentle slopes, making it a very easy and accessible trail. The name "Walami" comes from the Bunun language, referring to a type of fern, and the environment here is damp, providing a cool experience during the summer. In winter, the broadleaf trees begin to change color, turning red and yellow, resulting in a rich and vibrant scenery in the mountains. Along the Walami Trail, there are beautiful sights such as the Shanfeng Waterfall, where visitors can enjoy the refreshing cascade and take a short rest at the nearby gazebo. Continuing along the trail, at the 4.5-kilometer mark, hikers reach the five-star camping area known as "Jiaxin," which currently has pavilions, wash basins, and bathroom facilities available for free use by campers. To venture deeper into the trail, visitors need to apply for entry permits for both the mountains and the park, which allows access to the Walami Mountain Cabin located 13.5 kilometers away. Reservations for the Walami Mountain Cabin are also required. For hiking enthusiasts, a two-day, one-night itinerary in the Walami Trail can provide a comprehensive experience of this beautiful area.
