Introduction
A good place to cool off in summer
The whole way of Pingxi Old Trail is shaded by plants. There are two places on the way that you have to wade across a stream. The stream flows slowly and is very clear. The depth is only to your calf. It’s a very good place for water play in the summer. You may also observe the stream ecology. Sometimes you can even see some of the fishes, shrimps or crabs. If you would like to walk through the stream to finish the whole old trail, we recommend you bring a pair of river tracing shoes or rain boots so you won’t get wet.
You can overlook Guishan Island at the end of the trail or continue to walk to Shekong Trail that connects to it.
At the end of the Trail, there is a viewing platform that has a good view. If the weather is clear, you can overlook Guishan Island and see the beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean. If it’s cloudy, you may enjoy the beauty of mist in the mountains. If you have enough time, supply, water and food, you can continue to walk to Shekong Trail, a branch line of the Tamsui-Kavalan Trail, which connects to it at the end of the Trail and goes all the way to Toucheng Waiao, to finish the last mile of the middle section of the Kavalan Trails.
