Linsao Trail Introduction

The Linshao Trail starts from the left side of the entrance to the Guanyin Mountain Ecological Park and ends at the Lingyun Zen Temple's founding hall. The trail is approximately 800 meters long and is constructed entirely of steel elevated walkways, making it a small yet exquisite trail that offers a smooth and pleasant walking experience. The entire trail resembles an aerial corridor weaving through the forest, where one can admire the canopy above and see the lush layers of green trees below, fully immersing oneself in the forest's phytochemicals. The first segment of the trail is about 400 meters long and is an accessible walkway with elevated terrain, providing distant views of the towering buildings in the Linkou Plateau. Along the way, the woods are lush and verdant, featuring plants such as mountain ramie, banyan trees, and the duck foot tree (Jiangmu), which was once commonly used for making wooden clogs and lunch boxes, as well as the well-known tung tree. During the flowering season, tung flowers fall like snow, creating a romantic atmosphere. The second section of the trail is located at a lower elevation within the forest; visitors need to descend about two flights of stairs to reach the walkway. The dense green forest, with its swaying branches and trunks, seems to wave and greet each visitor warmly.
