Little Chihbi Introduction
On the western bank of the Xindian River, the gorge is filled with towering boulders, formed by the erosion of the river waters revealing steep cliffs that stretch endlessly. Due to its resemblance to the red cliffs of the Yangtze River in mainland China, and because it has been compared by scholars to the "Red Cliffs" in Su Shi's poem, local residents refer to this area as the "Little Red Cliffs." Xindian, blessed with beautiful mountains and waters, offers numerous accessible trails for enjoying both the water and the mountains. Whether it's the Hemei Mountain Trail near the suspension bridge or the Lion's Head Mountain Trail close to the MRT station, these paths are perfect for family outings. For those wanting to explore further, renting a bicycle to follow the well-planned riverside bike path allows you to fully appreciate the scenic views of the Xindian River. Hiking enthusiasts can take a bus or the free sightseeing shuttle to tackle multiple hiking trails in Xindian, including the Galaxy Cave Trail, Lion's Head Mountain Trail, Erbazi Botanical Garden, Shuangcheng Trail, and Guangxing Wetland Eco-Trail, enjoying the rare phytochemicals of the city and indulging in the fresh forest air.
