Bihu Trail Introduction
Located between Lane 131 of Dahu Street and Lane 60 of Neihu Road Section 3, Bihu Trail is a beautiful pathway hidden among residential areas. Rich in ecology and with historical industrial significance, it has been planned as a mountain trail with educational and recreational functions. It connects with the Dago Creek Riverside Trail, Yuanjue Temple Trail, and Liyu Mountain Trail, making it easily accessible for visitors of all ages. At the trailhead on Lane 131 of Dahu Street, there is a realistic representation of a mine, complete with an antique mine, railway tracks, and coal carts, giving visitors the impression of being in an actual mine. This area once thrived with coal mining, as it was the site of "Xinfuben Mine," which wrote a chapter in the local industrial development. The trail is mostly flat with just a small section of steep incline, and there is a small platform for exercise and stretching. The path features a variety of surfaces including wooden planks, gravel, granite blocks, and red bricks, with a few small vegetable gardens along the way. The trail weaves through residential homes, with ferns, acacia trees, and large-leaved camphor trees visible everywhere. If you're lucky, you might even see a Formosan Blue Magpie flying through the trees, a White-bellied Sea Eagle soaring in the sky, or a Formosan Squirrel scurrying past. The last segment of the trail is particularly delightful; visitors from afar will surely envy the residents living here, as they can hear the rustling of the bamboo forest from their windows. If you're not ready to head back, continuing to visit Yuanjue Temple, Bihsiang Rock, or Baishi Lake are excellent choices, allowing you to enjoy nature while experiencing the solemnity and tranquility of the temples.
