Heavenly Ladder Trail Introduction
Named the "Heavenly Ladder," it refers to the steep mountain terrain and carries the connotation of a path to enlightenment. It is a loop trail, which means you don’t have to return the same way. Because it’s a loop, some say it symbolizes the process of seeking wisdom from above, going through a cycle. At Shuanpi Pond, there is also a weekend farmers' market. Nearby attractions include Yuqing Temple, Tiangong Temple, Lingshi Water Park, Qiedong Bogong, and Liuli Guang Temple. When visiting the Heavenly Ladder Trail, it is recommended to consider including the Shuanpi Pond Agricultural Area in your itinerary, which not only offers natural surroundings but also the Dongshi Agricultural Specialty Park. Additionally, there are limited accommodation and dining options within the Shuanpi Pond area, so it is suggested to dine in nearby Dongshi or Xinshe before entering the park. Furthermore, the months of April and May are particularly suitable for firefly watching.
