For the seasoned hiker, starting the trail at Fushan and heading south uphill is a more challenging alternative. Bring plenty of drinking water, a box lunch, and a raincoat with you. The trail is in a veritable no man's land, so a tour guide or an experienced hiking companion is recommended. If you drive from Taipei, exit the freeway at Taoyuan and take Highway 112 to Tahsi, or exit the Northern Second Freeway at Tahsi, and from Tahsi pick up Highway 7 the rest of the way to Paling. At the other end of the trail, by the grocery store in Fushan, you can hire a cab to Wulai, and from there take a bus to Taipei.
Departures are frequent.
