Xianrenpu Trail Introduction
The Xianrenpu Trail has three entrances, located near the 14 km mark on County Road 162甲 and two entrances on Township Road 嘉154. In addition to returning along the original trail, visitors can also take a detour around nearby roads. The trail is characterized by waterfalls, streams, and traces of water erosion on rocks. Entering from the northern entrance near the bridge, one can immediately see the potholes on the large rock beneath the bridge. Following the steps down, traces of water erosion can be seen on the rock walls and stones. Among them, the most famous are the "Yuluo Cave," which resembles a conch fossil, and "Xian's Footprint," leading to legends of immortals visiting here. As you descend to the intersection near the river valley, one path crosses the stream, leading to an entrance about 0.5 kilometers from Township Road 嘉154; the other extends south towards the starting point of Township Road 嘉154. Walking into the southward wooden plank path, visitors are immediately surrounded by a large cedar forest. In addition to the welcoming cedars on both sides, there are various endemic shrubs and ferns of Taiwan. This section of the trail, while appearing long, has only a slight uphill at the northern starting point and is quite easy to walk, taking about 30 minutes to reach the southern entrance. It is a suitable route for family outings. If you choose to detour back to the starting point along Township Road 嘉154, you can enjoy the trail weaving through the forest, observing the changes in the woodland and landscape, which is quite interesting. This segment, less than 500 meters, won't take much of your time or energy to reach the entrance about 0.5 kilometers from Township Road 嘉154. From there, descending the stairs leads back to the original trail intersection.
