One-Day Pingxi Historic Trail

Highlights:

The Pingxi Historic Trail is located at the intersection of Shuangxi in New Taipei City and Toucheng in Yilan, belonging to the Pingxi section of the Tamsui-Kavalan Trails, which was used a century ago as a logging road. The ancient trail is flat and spacious, surrounded by beautiful Chinese hemlock forests on both sides. Following along the Pingxi Stream, the water is clear and gently flowing, with fish and shrimp leisurely swimming beneath. The lush greenery of the surrounding woods creates a picturesque and tranquil scene, accompanied by the soothing sound of the stream, making it a refreshing and pleasant experience.

There are two river crossings along the way, with the water reaching up to the calves, making it an excellent route for hiking and water activities during the summer. With water shoes or creek shoes, you can return along the Pingxi Stream, enjoying a different kind of pleasure. At the trail’s end, there is an observation and rest area where you can appreciate the breathtaking panoramic view of the sea and sky, including Guishan Island (Turtle Island).

Forking from the trail’s end are two diverging paths. One connects to another branch of the Tamsui-Kavalan Trails, the Xiangliao Historic Trail, leading directly to Wai'ao in Toucheng. Alternatively, you can ascend to the 705-meter-high Mount Taihe, where a small tin temple at the summit offers a 360-degree view of the Pacific Ocean, Guishan Island, the Wushibi Coast, Yingziling, Yanzangshan, and more.
