Shibi Village - Wooden Horse Ancient Trail Introduction
Located in Gukeng Township, Yunlin County, it is the highest mountain village in Yunlin. The Shibi Muma Ancient Path is known for its breathtaking views, but it is a hidden gem for only a few visitors. The vegetation along the ancient path is dense and protective, which is why low-impact development has been adopted to promote unique, in-depth tourism methods that reduce the impact on the local environment. The Muma Ancient Path is divided into the following zones: Muma Ancient Path Entrance Area (0-450 meters): This area serves as the main recreational spot, currently featuring the renovated Wuyuan Erjiao Pavilion, Nongchi Pond, and a bamboo charcoal kiln for enjoyment. Native Broadleaf Forest Restoration Area: Located between 450-1000 meters along the trail, this area is primarily comprised of Moso bamboo forest. Moso Bamboo Management Area: Continuing from 1000-2000 meters along the trail, this area remains a Moso bamboo forest. After community bamboo thinning and the establishment of viewing platforms, the area presents a new atmosphere. Cypress Management Area: Positioned between 2000-2400 meters along the trail, this area features a mixed forest of cypress, Moso bamboo, and broadleaf trees. At the end of the path, there is a high-altitude bamboo boardwalk that allows visitors to view the cypress forest from above. Overall, the remnants of the Muma Ancient Path follow a winding journey through the forest.
