The Camphor Tree Trail is approximately 1.1 kilometers long and is a gently sloping trail. Every spring and autumn, fallow land along the trail, covering an area of 1.5 hectares, is planted with either lupine or cosmos as rotation crops. When the flowers are in full bloom, they resemble a colorful carpet laid out along the trail. Currently, the large cosmos flowers are gradually coming into bloom, so don’t miss the chance to head up the mountain during the flowering season. Visitors can take the Maokong Gondola to the “Maokong Station,” or take bus routes 小10 and 棕15 to the Maokong Gondola Station, then walk about 100 meters to reach the entrance of the Camphor Tree Trail.
