You can reach Shulian Cave (Fanyin Temple) by turning right after leaving the gate of the tourist center (Hsinchu County Highway No. 41 4.55K), which is a natural arched cave. It is the northernmost, lowest (altitude 150 meters), largest and most eye-catching temple cave among all the temples on Lion's Head Mountain.
If you turn right after returning to the original path, you can walk across a trestle bridge and trail that stretches across the Shizi River. There is also a bridge made with glutinous rice completed in 1918 during the Japanese Colonial Era that has a rich nostalgic atmosphere.
Here you can overlook the great scenery of sky-and-valley-on-the-same line created due to river erosion. Greens and shelters are filled along the trail and it takes about 1350 meters to complete the trail.
