Xianrenji Trail Introduction
The Xianrenqi Trail has three entrances and exits, located near "County Road 162甲" at the 14-kilometer mark, and two entrances along "County Road 154." In addition to retracing the trail, visitors can also take nearby roads to circle around. The trail features waterfalls, streams, and traces of water erosion on rocks, which are a major highlight of the landscape. Entering from the entrance at the north end near the bridge, you'll immediately see the potholes on the boulders beneath the bridge. Following the steps down, signs of water erosion can be seen on the rock walls and stones. Among these, the most famous are the "Yuluo Cave," resembling a seashell fossil, and the "Fairy Footprints," which have given rise to legends of fairies visiting this place. Descending to the junction near the creek valley, one path crosses the creek, leading to an exit approximately 0.5 kilometers away on "County Road 154"; another path extends southward toward the starting point of "County Road 154." Entering the wooden plank path that extends southward, you'll soon be surrounded by a vast forest of cedar trees. In addition to the welcoming cedars on both sides, various Taiwanese shrubs and ferns can be found. Although this segment of the trail seems long, except for a small uphill section at the starting point, the elevation changes are minimal, making it quite easy to walk. It takes about 30 minutes to reach the southern exit, making it a suitable route for family outings. If you choose to return to the starting point by circling along "County Road 154," it's also enjoyable to look back at the winding path through the forest and observe the changes in the landscape. This segment, less than 500 meters long, won't take up much of your time or energy, and you can reach the exit about 0.5 kilometers from "County Road 154." From here, descending the steps leads you back to the original trail junction.
