- Itinerary -
・Qiandao Lake is located in the upper reaches of Feicui Reservoir. Numerous mountains and lake water form a collection pool. Looking from a fixed point into the distance, the mountains are emerald green and the lake water is clear. The winding and intertwining of mountains and water, as well as the interaction with tea fields, add a fairyland color to Qiandao Lake.
・Bagua Tea Garden There is a viewing platform next to Bagua Tea Garden, where you can overlook the nearby tea garden scenery and the scenery of Beishi River. Walk along the industrial road and enjoy the scenery of the nearby tea gardens along the way. With the blue waters of Beishi River in the distance as a backdrop, the tea garden scenery is picturesque.
・Shiding Old Street is divided into east and west by the Wanshou Bridge, which is built with stone piers. West Street developed earlier and was the former tea market neighborhood. Most of the houses are adobe houses and are very tall. There are also several three-story old houses connected to each other. Jishun Temple is the local faith center, and its square is the location of the former tea market.
・Jingualiao Fish Fern Trail The renovation of the Jingualiao Fish Fern Trail adopts the ecological wisdom of our ancestors, mainly using local materials, supplemented by natural materials, and carrying out design and improvement based on local conditions, with drainage and environmental safety as the top priority. In order to avoid damaging the environmental ecology and impacting the landscape, only necessary rest landscape platforms, cross-stream bridges and safety facilities are provided in the trail area. In addition, environmental interpretation facilities will be strengthened to highlight the value of the environment and inspire people to pay attention to ecology. For modern people who are busy with their lives and under great pressure from work, the Fish and Fern Trail in Jingualiao Creek should not be just a path in the mountains. Please make time to take a walk there, temporarily get rid of the shackles of civilization, walk slowly with a relaxed mood, listen quietly, look carefully, breathe deeply... and enjoy the most primitive physical sensations of human beings. I believe that after completing this trail trip, you will definitely feel the wonder, joy and grace of nature, and it will also achieve the multiple effects of fitness, spiritual cleansing and energy replenishment.
