Neigou Mountain Cuihu Trail Introduction
The Cuihu Trail is connected to the Neigou Mountain Trail in Xizhi and attracts numerous visitors during the tung blossom season for flower viewing and hiking. The trail mainly consists of gentle and easy-to-walk dirt paths, which can be accessed from the second entrance of the Neigou Mountain Trail. Originally, the Cuihu Trail served as a connector for mining activities in earlier years, but after the mining site was closed, it fell into disrepair. After repairs, it transformed into a hiking trail. Along the way, visitors can see the ruins of the Beigang No. 2 Mine, which was an important coal mining site in Xizhi in the past. After being abandoned, vines gradually covered the original traces of the mine, and now one can only catch glimpses of its former glory through the remaining walls. Additionally, the "Cuihu," which once served as a reservoir for miners, may now appear small and quaint but was an extremely important water source for miners back in the day.
