Sky Ladder Trail Introduction
The trail known as the "Heavenly Ladder" refers to the steep terrain and symbolizes a path for gaining wisdom from the heavens. It is a loop trail, which means no backtracking is necessary. Because it is a loop, some say it represents a process of gaining knowledge from above, going through a cycle. In the area of Ruiping Keng, there is also a weekend farmer's market. Nearby attractions include Yuching Temple, Tiangong Temple, Lingshi Riverside Park, Qiedong Bogu, and Liuliguang Temple. When visiting the Heavenly Ladder Trail, it is advisable to consider incorporating the Ruiping Keng Agricultural District into your itinerary. This area not only offers a natural environment but also features the Dongshi Agricultural Specialty Park. Additionally, there are limited accommodation and dining options within the Ruiping Keng area, so it is recommended to have a meal in the nearby Dongshi or Xinshe before entering the park. Furthermore, every year in April and May, the area is quite suitable for firefly watching.
