The Zhi Gao Zun Walking Trail is a family-friendly trail built along the Wangtian Canal, with a gentle slope. Shortly after entering the trail, people will see a large banyan tree; its roots encasing the rocks create a spectacular sight and a popular photo spot. Along the way, an "aqueduct" is built to accommodate the terrain's elevation changes, forming a unique aerial walkway.
Shaded by trees, the sound of the trail's flowing water makes it cool and comfortable to walk in the summer.
