This 16-kilometer back-and-forth trail rises from more than 800 meters above sea level to 1,690 meters. At an ordinary pace, it will go from morning to evening. Although there are many shades in the middle, I personally think the scenery is not very beautiful. There are so many zigzag trails that you can get tired of the world, so people who go there should prepare water and food. The advantage is that parking is too convenient, and the parking lot of Guguan Avenue is very large and satisfying!

The entrance of the trail is from the west side of Guguan Avenue. The trail is about 7K in length (excluding the section to the parking lot). It is a five-star trail in the Seven Heroes of Guguan. The asphalt road from the parking lot of Avenue Courtyard to the entrance of the mountain is not as steep and difficult to walk as Baimao Mountain. The trail rises slowly after passing 3 iron towers, it is soft and easy to walk, the vegetation is diverse and changeable, and there is almost no exposure to the sun throughout the whole process. When approaching Dongmaoshan about 300-500 meters, there is a Dashi area to pass but the distance is very short. When my team descended the mountain, there was no crowd, and we saw blue-bellied pheasants.

Dongmao Mountain, 1692 meters above sea level, is the oldest of the seven heroes of Guguan. It was originally the road of Taipower's protection line. There is a third-class triangle point number 321 cornerstone on the top of the mountain. At the spring equinox of 111 years, climbing Dongmao Mountain The Guguan Avenue Courtyard can park cars and motorcycles. Rarely has such a large free parking lot at the starting point of mountaineering! There is an industrial road of more than 1 km from the avenue to the mountain entrance. The locomotive can be parked in a small open space next to the mountain entrance. However, the road is potholes, so you need to drive carefully, and it is more difficult for cars to drive due to the narrow road. Along the way, walk among the bamboos in the forest, zig-zag slowly, climb about 800 meters, the trail is about 6K in length, and its ecology and rich vegetation, such as Puli Rhododendron, Honeysuckle Leaf Holly, Taiwan Mountain Osmanthus, Wuzhang Nan, Taiwan Mountain Fragrance can be seen. circle and so on. On the way, you can see some shortcuts taken by people, but they are steep and dangerous. It is not recommended to walk on them, so as not to damage the environment. About 1K left, there are stone waterfalls, winding and twisting, the slope is slightly steeper, and the stones are getting bigger and bigger, and even become huge stones at the end, so you need to pay attention to the safety of your feet. The trail is sometimes narrow, so you need to pay attention. On the top of the mountain, the hinterland is wide and unshaded. It is equipped with a large microwave reflector and has a wide field of vision. The 360° field of view overlooks the mountains. The place is as noisy as a vegetable market, bustling, and crowded with people, which may make people unable to stay for a second. Specifically, the trail is a little longer, but it is very friendly and comfortable to walk, and it is also maintained, so it is worth visiting. If you have enough time, you might as well give it a walk, wander around, and the insects and birds in the mountains will sing, and the flowers will sing.
