Taiping Bat Cave, Hundred Bat Suspension Bridge and Mountain Trail (Closed) Introduction
The Bat Cave Trail in Taiping District is undergoing post-disaster reconstruction due to heavy rains caused by Typhoon Danas and the southwest airflow in July this year. To avoid any dangers, this trail has been closed, and the public is advised not to visit during the repair period. We apologize for the inconvenience. The Bat Cave Trail is 880 meters long and is the most famous recreational spot in Taiping District, rich in cultural atmosphere. With the opening of the Hundred Bats Bridge rest area, it has attracted many travelers. The trail offers two scenic views with beautiful landscapes, combining mountains and water. The Bat Cave extension trail stretches 460 meters, leading into secluded mountains filled with lush trees behind the Bat Cave. It is vibrant with life, as colorful insects and butterflies flutter through the air. Along the way, the sound of cicadas mixes with the calls of hawks and colorful birds overhead, creating a stunning atmosphere. As the trail ascends to the ridge of the bamboo forest, glimpses of the majestic Qingliang Temple can be seen, surrounded by green mountains and clear waters. The descending valley features crystal-clear pools and unique rock formations that make up the picturesque canyon. Hidden within is a rustic water bridge built half a century ago, marking a wonderful end to the journey on the extension trail. With the irrigation channel gradually disappearing on the other side of the river due to changes over time, the Hundred Bats Bridge, opened in 2014, reconnects both ends. The Bat Cave extension trail in Taiping District will once again feature a waterway crossing the river and a bamboo shoot transport path for easy harvesting.
