Linshao Trail Introduction
The starting point of the Linshao Trail is located on the left side of the entrance to the Guanyin Mountain Ecological Park, and it ends at the Lingyun Zen Temple's founding hall. The trail is approximately 800 meters long and is constructed entirely of steel framework bridges, providing a smooth and enjoyable walking experience. This small yet beautiful trail resembles an aerial corridor meandering through the forest, allowing visitors to observe the secrets of the forest canopy above while gazing down at the layers of green waves of trees below. The vibrant new greenery immerses visitors in the forest's phytoncide, inviting leisurely strolls. The first section of the trail is about 400 meters long and is an accessible path with elevated terrain, offering distant views of the high-rise buildings clustered on the Linkou Plateau. Along the way, the lush greenery includes species like mountain ramie, banyan trees, the duck palm (a tree historically used for making wooden clogs or lunch boxes), and the well-known tung tree. During the blooming season, tung flowers fall like snowflakes, creating a romantic scene on the ground. The second section of the trail is situated in lower terrain, requiring visitors to descend a flight of stairs approximately two stories high to reach the boardwalk. The dense greenery of the forest and the swaying branches of large trees seem to greet and wave at every visitor, welcoming them warmly.
