Lyudao Trail Introduction
The Liulang Trail, located in Ruifang District, New Taipei City, is one of the routes of the Ancient Dahan Road North. The entrance is next to Parking Lot No. 9. "Liulang" is derived from the homophone for "liulong" (流籠). This scenic trail has been renovated from the ancient path at the bottom of Liulang Road, which was originally used by mountain residents to descend for shopping. In the past, mining and transporting goods relied on a liulong rail system to address the steep sections that were difficult for human labor. This trail, renovated from the old liulong road, was created by our ancestors for their trips down the mountain to buy goods. Years ago, Jiufen was also a mining site that fell into decline due to low output. However, once the footpath was reconstructed, it provided a refreshing experience for visitors. At the summit, two observation decks offer a view of Keelung, the Ruifang mountain city, and the coastline, which is expansive and beautiful.
