Shui She Bicycle Trail Introduction
The entrance to the Shuishah Aquatic Trail is located to the left of Shuishah Wharf, serving as an important pedestrian route connecting Shuishah Wharf to Jiulongkou. The entire trail features accessible ramps, making it very suitable for family outings. It is flat and easy to walk, following the wooden plank path along the pond and directly reaching Jiulongkou via Chaowu Wharf. The trail is lush with greenery, ensuring a pleasant experience even in the heat of summer. There are rest points along the way where visitors can take a break or lean over the railing to enjoy the view of yachts cruising in the pond. On the calm lake surface, the sunlight reflects on the water, creating a shimmering effect, as if thousands of gold and silver coins have fallen into the lake. When fog appears, the Xuangzang Temple on the Qingshan Mountain looks like an ancient mountain temple in traditional Chinese painting, evoking nostalgic feelings. Meanwhile, the Cien Pagoda on the Shabalan Mountain can always be seen standing on the hill from any angle of the trail, resembling a sword that protects Sun Moon Lake at all times. Upon reaching Jiulongkou, there is an artificial floating island covered with wild ginger flowers on the lake surface, where one might occasionally spot a night heron hiding beneath the foliage, ready to hunt for food. If energy and interest allow, one can continue walking to the Wenwu Temple's step trail or ascend to the opposite side's Zhushiyuan to continue another segment of the journey. At night, the lights of the hotels and restaurants at Shuishah Wharf twinkle from the trail, resembling colorful jewels against the backdrop of darkness, making the scene even more brilliant.
