位於南端的出入口，亦為步道最高點

The Taixingyan Trail is approximately 850 meters above sea level and stretches for 650 meters, winding through tea plantations and pristine forests. In recent years, with the promotion of trail hiking, the Taixingyan Trail has gradually become a major resting spot for visitors on their way to Ruijili. The trailhead is located alongside County Road 166, featuring a viewing platform and an information board that provide expansive views. The trail is nestled among broad tea fields, offering a serene and elegant landscape. Walking along the ridge lines of the trail, one can enjoy rich ecology and often spot endemic bird species such as the Formosan Blue Magpie; other flora, like the Taiwan Rhododendron, bloom in clusters during April and May. At the end of the trail lies "Taixing Rock," a solemn and tranquil site that serves as the spiritual center for the villagers of Taixing. Behind the temple, a century-old plum tree and a grove of Moso bamboo evoke a sense of ancient charm.
