Bihu Trail Introduction
Located between Lane 131 of Dahhu Street and Lane 60 of Section 3 of Neihu Road, the Bihu Trail is a beautiful path hidden among residential areas. Due to its rich ecology and historical industrial significance, it has been planned as an educational and recreational mountain trail. It connects to the Dago Creek Riverside Trail, Yuanjue Temple Trail, and Liyushan Trail, making it convenient for visitors of all ages. At the entrance of the trail on Lane 131, there is a realistic representation of a mine, complete with vintage mines, railway tracks, and coal cars, resembling a real mining site. In its early days, the coal mining industry thrived here, making it the site of the "Xinfuben Mine," which played a significant role in the local industrial development. The trail is mostly flat, with only a small section of steep uphill, and features a small platform for exercise and stretching. The ground consists of a variety of pathways, including wooden planks, gravel, granite boulders, and red bricks. Along the way, there are one or two small vegetable gardens, and the trail winds through residential areas where ferns, Acacia trees, and large-leaved Nanmu trees are commonly seen. If you're lucky, you might even spot a Formosan Blue Magpie flying through the trees, a Black Eagle soaring in the sky, or even a Red-bellied Squirrel scampering past. The last segment of the trail feels particularly pleasant, making visitors envious of the residents living here, who can hear the rustling of the bamboo forest from their windows. If you still wish to explore more, continuing on to Yuanjue Temple, Bishanyan, or Baishihu is a great option. Here, you can enjoy being in nature while also experiencing the solemn serenity of the temples.
