Qingtonglin Ecological Area Trail Introduction
This trail is located in the Qingtonglin Ecological Park around the Beikeng River in Tonglin Village, Wufeng District, Taichung. The total area is approximately 180 hectares, with an elevation between 300 and 500 meters, and the highest point is Ao Mountain at 483 meters above sea level, also known as Qishan. Two rivers, Beikeng River and Nankeng River, flow through the area. In the past, it was leased to residents for planting fruit trees, but the tenants gradually moved to other farming locations, resulting in a long period without human development or destruction. This has led to the preservation of intact forest vegetation and landscape within the park, which is rich in rare and valuable ecological resources, and it is adjacent to the Jiufen Mountain Nature Reserve, characterized by the pebble-formed geology of the Touhu Mountain, showcasing a unique rock wall geographical landscape.
