Located in Taoshan Tribe, Heping District, Xueshankeng Ring Trail is a natural trail planned along the ancient hunting trail of the Atayal people. The trail adopts eco-friendly construction methods such as wooden boardwalks and stairs, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in the primitive mountains and feel the purest natural atmosphere while walking.
The first phase of the trail is about 400 meters long, with the entrance set next to the well-known check-in spot "The Giant's Hand," which welcomes every visitor with a striking stone tiger sculpture.
