Walami Trail Introduction
The Walami Trail is located in Nan'an, Yuli, Hualien. The trail stretches approximately 13.5 kilometers from the entrance to the Walami Mountain Hut, with gentle slopes along the way, making it an easy and enjoyable hike. "Walami" is derived from the Bunun language, meaning "fern," and the environment here is humid, providing a refreshing experience in the summer. In winter, the broadleaf trees begin to turn red and yellow, creating a rich and vivid palette in the forest that is truly beautiful. Scenic spots along the Walami Trail include the Shanfeng Waterfall, where visitors can enjoy the coolness of the waterfall and take a break at the nearby pavilion. Continuing to 4.5 kilometers along the trail, hikers will reach the five-star camping area known as "Jiaxin," which currently offers completed pavilions, wash basins, and restroom facilities for free use by campers. Further along the trail, hikers must obtain permits for entry to the mountain and park in order to continue to the Walami Mountain Hut, which also requires an application. Therefore, hiking enthusiasts can plan a two-day, one-night trip to deeply experience the Walami Trail.
