★ Hiking in Taiwan with 523：2012/12/22 (Sat.) ~12/23 (Sun.) Taroko: Baiyang Trail+Zhuilu Old Road（白楊步道+錐麓古道）
★ Deadline to register：November 21st (Wednesday) or when fully booked (Limited: 10 persons)
(Zhuilu Old Road is Entry Permit Required, please register before November 21st (Wed.) )
The Baiyang Waterfall Trail is characterized by the number of tunnels. Beginning with the entrance tunnel of 380 meters (by the Central Cross-Island Highway 900 meters west of Tianxiang) to the last tunnel before Water Curtain, you will pass through seven tunnels along the 2 kilometer trail ( the 4 km round trip will take about one hour and a half).
The Zhuilu Old Trail is the most breathtaking super private spot in Taroko Gorge area, which offers a bird-eye view of the gorge. Imagine yourself looking down from the top of Taipei 101 (Taiwan’s tallest building), but the scenery below is the magnificent view down into the Taroko Gorge. The Zhuilu Old Trail could definitely offer you such a brilliant experience. Built by Japanese in 1914 in order to fight with local indigene, therefore so many historical traces were left on this trail. The trails sticks to the rim of the gorge along the way, part of it is cut into the vertical cliff by the Liwu River for nearly five hundred meters high. If you adore adventuring and hiking, never miss the Zhuilu Old Trail.
「多隧道」與「多水」是白楊步道的兩大特色。 「多隧道」，從入口到水簾洞，短短2.1公里的路程就有七個隧道，建議攜帶手電筒備用；「多水」，為建水壩而開的白楊步道，整條步道沿溪而行，前段遇見的是立霧溪的支流瓦黑爾溪，後段所見則是立霧溪上游的塔次基里溪，一路極景不斷，愛壯闊者可賞峽谷溪流，喜微美者可觀山壁苔流，還有隧道中小似雨滴、大至水簾樣的大水在黑暗中傾洩而下，可滿足與眾不同的心思。
錐麓古道是在太魯閣峽谷中一處令人屏息的超級私房景點，它提供一處鳥瞰峽谷的絕佳視野。想像您從101大樓(台灣最高樓)向下俯瞰，而景緻卻是壯麗的太魯閣峽谷。錐麓古道確實可以提供您這樣偉大的感受。1914年日本人為了與原住民打仗而開拓錐麓古道，因此在這條古道上有很多古蹟，位處花蓮縣立霧溪北岸，山徑鑿闢於陡峭山壁之中，路寬僅約一台尺所能立地僅能容足。若您是個喜愛探險及健行者，千萬別錯過錐麓古道。
