Published: 2026-09-25 👁 101 views
Last updated 2026-09-25 — The "Lishan Eco-Friendly Trail," set to open on January 1 of the 100th year, is located in a pristine forest behind the Chiang Kai-shek Guesthouse–Lishan Guesthouse. It boasts rich local ecological resources. After overcoming numerous engineering challenges, the trail has been renovated by the Shei-Pa National Scenic Area Administration, Tourism Bureau, Ministry of Transportation and Communications, and will officially open on January 1 of the 100th year. A contest is being held to find a creative and memorable name for the trail, with cash prizes and special accommodation offers in Lishan up for grabs.

One of the features of the "Lishan Eco-Friendly Trail" is a steep slope section approximately 150 meters long, with gradients ranging from over 30 degrees to nearly 60 degrees. Originally designed for climbing using ropes and wooden stakes, the section has been completely upgraded to a steel-framed stairway with wooden decking to enhance visitor safety and reduce the difficulty of navigating the steep incline. Additionally, the original landslide area has been transformed with a lightweight rope bridge that preserves the slope and adds an element of fun. Finally, the trail surface utilizes locally sourced materials, replacing gravel with roof tiles dismantled during the renovation of the Lishan Guesthouse, significantly cutting construction costs while integrating environmental and ecological design principles.
