Dinghu Trail Introduction
Dinghu Lake, located beside Shizhao, is one of the key sites for ecological tourism planned by the Alishan National Scenic Area Administration in recent years. The Dinghu Lake Circular Trail features a Moso bamboo forest path, a natural primitive forest boardwalk, and fossil tracks, making it suitable for 1 to 2 hours of hiking and strolling. From the vicinity of 66K on Route 18, about 100 meters in front of the Mihu Trail, turn left and drive approximately 4 kilometers uphill to reach Dinghu. The open view reveals local farmers working in tea plantations, with mountain mist rising between the hills. Within the area, visitors can walk along the trail to a pavilion and the Moso bamboo forest. There is also a primitive forest boardwalk leading to Mount Dalong. In front of the pavilion, there is a large boulder known locally as Guanyin Stone, which bears traces of fossil evidence on its surface.
