Tengping Trail
Wood-oil Tree
As the land here was opened up more than a century ago, the settlers developed the camphor, tea, forestry, coal mining and silicon sand quarrying industries; and, in the process of this development, established numerous old trails.
The Lion Mountain, Tengping, Liouliao, and Danankeng trails of the Lion's Head Mountain area; the Daping Forest Trail and Penglai River Ecology Trail of the Nanjhuang area; the Mt. Wujhih Historic Trail; and the beginning and intermediate Mt. Jiali mountain trails all record traces of history.
Walk along these trails and you will be amazed to discover natural forests of ancient trees, flourishing vascular plants such as the large sea bean, and unique species of ferns. You will also be delighted by sights of eroded riverbank forms and the abundance of water plants.
