Experience its powerful water flow during the rainy season, attracting many visitors to play. Rest at Longmen Pavilion, the first stop on your hike, where Formosan macaques often gather for close observation. —When observing Formosan macaques, ensure your safety and that of your belongings, and do not feed them.
Marvel at the U-shaped canyon formed by elevated coral reef rocks, bathed in sunlight filtering through the crevices, releasing the fatigue of hikers. The Zhuilu Old Trail, a narrow path measuring just 30 meters long and 30 centimeters wide, runs along the cliffside, reminiscent of the Zhuilu Old Trail in Hualien, hence its name.
Explore Thailand Valley, featuring towering cliffs formed by elevated coral reef rocks, adorned with ancient banyan trees whose aerial roots create a natural barrier.

Inside, a curtain of colorful climbing vines creates a dreamy scene, making it a must-capture spot for social media enthusiasts.
