Cu-keng-kou Hiking Trail Introduction
The Cuikengkou Hiking Trail is located in the Shihjiao Pavilion area of Ruifang District. After passing the Shihjiao Pavilion bus stop on Route 8, turn right into the first entrance of Cuikeng Road Lane. The trail first leads to the Changxing Palace, which has existed since the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Not far from Changxing Palace, there is an abandoned Sanrong Coal Mine site beneath a roadside cemetery. It is said that the owner of Sanrong Coal Mining Company at that time was a woman, and the locals refer to Cuikengkou as "Chamo Pit." Although the trail has several forks, there are signposts making it easy to navigate. When you reach the upper end of the trail, don't rush to turn back; instead, walk about 3–5 minutes to the right along the production path, where you'll find a viewing platform that not only overlooks the Shihjiao Pavilion area but also offers distant views of Wufen Mountain.
