Bihu Trail Introduction
Located between Lane 131 of Dahu Street and Lane 60 of Section 3 of Neihu Road, Bihu Trail is a beautiful path hidden among community residences. Due to its rich ecology and historical industrial significance, it has been planned as a mountain path with educational and recreational functions. The surrounding area connects to the Dagou Creek Riverside Trail, Yuanjue Temple Trail, and Liyushan Trail, providing convenient transportation, making it suitable for visitors of all ages. At the trailhead of Lane 131 of Dahu Street, there is a realistic image of a mine, featuring a replica of an ancient mine, railway tracks, and coal cars, making it feel like a real mining site. This area was once prominent in the coal mining industry and was the location of the "New Fuben Mine," contributing to the local industrial development. The trail is mostly flat, with only a small stretch of steep incline and a small platform for exercising and stretching. The path offers a varied experience with wooden planks, gravel, granite blocks, and red bricks underfoot. Along the way, there are a couple of small vegetable gardens, and the trail weaves between houses, where ferns, acacia trees, and bigleaf magnolias can be seen everywhere. If lucky, one might glimpse a Formosan Blue Magpie flying through the trees, a Crested Serpent Eagle soaring in the sky, or even a Formosan Red-bellied Squirrel running by. The last segment of the trail feels particularly pleasant, with visitors likely envying the residents living here, who can hear the rustling of the bamboo forest from their windows. If still not satisfied, continuing to Yuanjue Temple, Bishan Rock, or Baishi Lake are great choices, allowing one to immerse themselves in nature while experiencing the solemn tranquility of the temples.
