Thank you for this good description. Very well done!
Directly from the international airport I take the train to Fulong:
Thus, my first time in Taiwan 4 hours after landing I arrive in Saturday crowded Fulong: Buses carry tourists over there and they are nearly all renting bikes…
A few minutes later I am alone when I walk in the direction of the hiking trail. From the Great Banyan Tree (last place to access by car) I met only a dozen hikers.
On the pass you have a very scenery on Taiwan’s brand new nuclear power plant.

I’ve taken a photo of a very good map for this hike including photos, English and Chinese description.

Todd, would you like to include this in your blog?

Mark – Given the number of stairs and the number of people who walk it on the weekends I wouldn’t recommend cycling it. It’s roughly 8.5km and takes about 3-4 hours to walk.

Excellent report on the trail, although it’s not always available some info’ on exact distance or time it is likely to take would be useful, would also like to know if the trail is rideable or if you are even allowed to take a bike on it.
