Dinghu Trail Introduction
Dinghu is located next to Shizhao and is one of the important ecological tourism sites planned by the Alishan National Scenic Area Administration in recent years. The Dinghu Lakeside Trail features a bamboo path lined with Moso bamboo, a pristine forest boardwalk, and fossilized traces, making it suitable for 1 to 2 hours of hiking and strolling. From near the 66K mark on Provincial Highway 18, turn left after about 100 meters in front of the Mimu Trail, then ascend for approximately 4 kilometers to reach Dinghu. The area offers open views where local farmers can often be seen tending to their tea gardens, with mountain mist swirling among the layers of hills. Within the park, you can walk along the trails to a pavilion and the Moso bamboo forest. There is also a primitive forest boardwalk that leads to Mount Dazhong. In front of the pavilion, there is a large boulder known as Guanyin Stone by locals, which has traces of fossilized remains on its surface.
