Located in Gongliao, the Taoyuan Valley Trail offers four routes—Neiliao Line, Daxi Line, Caoling Line, and Shiguanyin Line—to reach the valley. Along the way, dense forests abound, and upon reaching higher ground, the endless emerald-green grassland is reminiscent of European countryside scenes. Gazing into the distance, you can even see Guishan Island, making it a truly refreshing experience.
