Xiaocukeng Historic Trail

A good place to appreciate Tongtong in late spring is the Xiaochukeng Ancient Road! This secluded trail that connects the rough pit and Shimen area, the Hakka Tong flower season from March to May every year always attracts many people to come to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the white flowers falling in the layers of green forest. Walking on the stone steps with a history of 100 years, I inadvertently found a love wreath arranged with tung petals on the corner stone platform, which is full of healing! Summer night visit, there are different surprises; Huojingu’s love story ing, the little fireflies disappear like stars, adding a charming style to the dark mountains and the moving pictures that cannot be appreciated in the city are definitely worth your anticipation Go up the mountain and explore the dark! The Xiaoshukeng Ancient Road is a cattle driveway built along the Xiaoshukeng River during the Japanese occupation. At that time, the ancestors of the mountains transported goods to and from Zhukeng Shiliao and Maowudu in Hsinchu Guanxi. They had to pass through Sankengzai (now Longtan) and Da Rongkan (now Daxi), and the Xiaochukeng Ancient Road became an important passage, and the scenery was temporary. However, with the development of the industrial road of Shimen Reservoir, the number of people decreased and gradually declined, but it also retained the rich original ecology, and water can be seen along the way. Plants such as Tongmu, Datura datura, ferns, Lauraceae, as well as rare species such as Papilio, Pangu toad, Svenhoe's red frog, etc., are now popular spots for outdoor outings. Near the entrance of the ancient road on Longyuan Road, there is a former Youfud Temple built in the Qing Dynasty, which enshrines the "Land Po Baozi Statue", which is quite rare. The entire trail is moderately difficult. The road conditions in the first section are gentle. You can enjoy the scenery of the tea garden while strolling. At the beginning of the middle section, it is turned into an earth and stone road. The latter section needs to climb a rope. If your physical strength allows, you can also challenge the Shimen Mountain Trail. Excerpted from Taoyuan City Government Tourism and Tourism Bureau

Climb from the ancient road and then climb Shimen Mountain. The ancient road is quiet and quiet in the front part of the valley. The water is flowing in the valley. The latter part is easy to climb. It is easy to turn to the Shimen Mountain mountain pass on the side of the industrial road. It is steep but the journey is short and not tiring. Too tired Xiaobaiyue itinerary

The Xiaochukeng Ancient Trail is a general hiking trail, and the trail is not bad for walking.
