When mentioning Tehuayo, most people naturally think of the Tehuayo Old Trail, but the Tehuayo Trail and the Tehuayo Old Trail are actually two different paths. In comparison, the Tehuayo Trail is easier to walk. This trail starts at the Dabang Suspension Bridge and circles around the Tehuayo village, forming an O shape, connecting the Tehuayo and Dabang settlements. From the pavilion at the trailhead, one can overlook the Iskianani River Valley. Walking along the brightly colored Dabang Suspension Bridge and entering the trail, most of it consists of steep wooden boardwalks, but the ups and downs are not significant, making it smooth and easy to walk, with shade provided by trees to prevent excessive sun exposure. At the highest point, there is a broad view of the nearby Dabang village and distant green mountains, with bamboo forests and camphor trees scattered along the way, creating a beautiful landscape and rich ecology. Deep in the bamboo forest, there are several Tsou-style thatched pavilions where travelers can rest. Some sections (the camphor tree section) and the Dabang Suspension Bridge are closed, with the closure expected to continue until March 31, 2026. For safety reasons, please do not enter the closed sections.

When it comes to Tefuye, most people naturally think of the Tefuye Ancient Trail, but the Tefuye Trail and the Tefuye Ancient Trail are two different paths. In comparison, the Tefuye Trail is much easier to walk. This trail starts from the Dabang Suspension Bridge, loops around the Tefuye Tribe, and forms an O-shape connecting the Tefuye and Dabang settlements. From the pavilion at the trailhead, one can overlook the Iskianna Valley. Entering from the colorful Dabang Suspension Bridge and connecting to the trail, most of it consists of steep wooden plank paths, but the changes in elevation are not significant, making it a smooth and easy walk, all shaded by trees to avoid excessive sun exposure. At the high point where the view opens up, the nearby Dabang Tribe and distant lush mountains come into sight, with bamboo groves and giant camphor trees scattered along the way, creating a beautiful forest landscape rich in ecology. Deeper into the bamboo forest, there are several thatched pavilions in the style of the Tsou tribe for travelers to rest. Some sections (the camphor tree section) and the Dabang Suspension Bridge are closed, and the closure is expected to last until March 31, 2026. For safety reasons, please do not enter the closed sections.
