👍👍 Incredible hike! Definitely a must in the southern parts of Taiwan. To me it's one of the most beautiful trails thanks to the amazing trees. Camping is also solid, tents are big and worth the rental price, which also saves you some weight carrying. I suggest two day one night trek. Don't let the ra...
