First time to the most challenging trail No. 4 on Dakeng Trail Because I was attracted by the wooden plank road Looking at other people's photos, it seemed very simple In fact, I went there myself to know Before taking beautiful photos for the Internet... You have to go through a very tiring process It is recommended to wear gloves because you need to pull ropes during the climb It can avoid injuries to your hands It takes at least 2-3 hours to complete the whole process It is recommended to save time to avoid the danger of dark when going down the mountain⚠️ It is recommended to carry a backpack on your back and try not to hold items Be careful to step on the logs on the wooden plank road, which really tests your leg strength Climbing the mountain, my feet are sore and my hands are sore~ It was almost 6 o'clock when I got down the mountain. It was already dark and the sunset was beautiful It is highly recommended to climb the mountain early in the morning. The scenery is really beautiful Navigation: Zhongzheng Camping Area Parking Lot🅿️ #Dakeng No. 4 #Dakeng Scenic Area #Nature Journey #Taichung Attractions Recommendation

In the early morning, facing the glimmer🌅, we set foot on Taichung Dakeng No. 4 Hiking Trail⛰️. The endless wooden stairs🪵 seem like a secret road leading to the clouds🌫️. Along the way, there is lush greenery🌿, butterflies🦋 are flying in the sun, and various wild insects🐛🪲 are hidden on the leaves, full of the breath of life. Suddenly, several Taiwanese macaques🐒 shuttled nimbly through the treetops🌳, looking at you curiously👀. At sunrise, the sun shines☀️, and the valley is shining with golden light✨; at sunset, the sunset dyes the sky red🌇, and everything returns to tranquility😌. Every step you take is an affectionate dialogue with nature🧘♂️. There is no commercial atmosphere, only pure mountains and forests and the rhythm of heartbeat❤️🔥. This is not just a mountaineering, but a journey where the soul is embraced by the forest🛤️🌺🍃. /Information/ Taichung Dakeng Trail No. 4 📍Address: 406 Beitun District, Taichung City #LeisureFarm #SunriseSunset #JulyGoodPlace2025 #TaichungHike #TaichungAttractionsRecommended

#2月好地方2025 Dakeng Scenic Area is located in Taichung and is a great place to combine natural landscapes with leisure and recreation. With fresh mountain air and beautiful mountain views, this is an ideal location for hiking.

There is also the famous "Tai Hang Painted Village" in the Tai Hang area. The painted walls and art installations in the village make people feel like they are in a colorful gallery. In addition, there are many specialty restaurants and snacks around, allowing people to enjoy the beautiful scenery while tasting local delicacies.

It is a challenging sleeper trail with plenty of shade along the way, making it very comfortable to walk on. After connecting to Trail No. 5, the scenery is beautiful. It is recommended to wear hiking shoes, which will make walking more comfortable. You can take a short rest at the Black Pine Pavilion before returning. #DaKeng No.1 Trail

#winhkflight Address: Lane 383, Section 1, Dongshan Rd, Beitun District, Taichung City, Taiwan 406. Highlights: The Dakeng Scenic Area is a great trail with steps of wood. All trails are covered by green. Few of them are short and easy to finish and few of them are more challenging, so everyone who like hiking can find here some beautiful walk. The pathing and nature is really nice, so you can enjoy that. I would really recommend you to go early in the morning or later in the afternoon as the crowds will be less. There are also tea and coffee shops all around the trails, and lots of stalls selling vegetables as well. I want to travel to Hong Kong for a hike and escape from the bustling city life. #Taiwan #Nature #awesomepic

Dakeng Scenic Area, known as the "Yangmingshan of Taichung" and the "Backyard of Taichung Citizens", is located in Beitun District, Taichung City. There are six natural streams in the area, including Dakeng Creek, Zhuoshuikeng Creek, Qingshuikeng Creek, Hengkeng Creek, Beikeng Creek and Buzikeng Creek. Although the altitude is not high, it is a water conservation forest with rich ecological and natural resources. In addition, the terrain is steep and there is little human development. The original scenery is charming. It is not only an important tourist attraction for people to go outing and relax, but also a popular choice for climbers to hike. Among them, the Fengdongshi Recreation Area is the most popular, as it has a pavilion and rope climbing, complete recreational facilities, and offers distant views. Dakeng Scenic Area was developed and established by the Taichung City Government in 1976. Its most distinctive attractions are the 14 hiking trails, with a total length of about 17.7 kilometers. There are leisure trails suitable for walking and hiking for all ages, as well as high-difficulty wooden hiking trails that require physical strength and equipment. There are various levels of difficulty for everyone to choose from to plan their itinerary according to their physical strength and leg strength. Although you don't need too much professional mountaineering equipment, you still need to prepare appropriate clothing according to the difficulty of the trail. For example, netizens suggest that when walking on the log trail, you should wear shoes with better grip and harder soles to avoid stepping on the round sleepers and hurting your feet; it is best to wear gloves to prevent the skin from being rubbed by pulling the rope or handrails when going up and down steep slopes. The climbing entrances of Trail 9, Trail 9-1, and Trail 10 are the same, and the end points of the three trails are also connected to each other. Trail No. 9 is the easiest hiking trail among all the Dakeng trails. It is about 1.6 kilometers long. The first part is mostly a gentle slope. There are many snack stalls or small vendors selling drinks along the trail. The steps of Trail 10 are quite steep, so we chose to go up from Trail 10 and then to Trail 6 on the right side of Guanyin Pavilion Public Toilet to enjoy the Acacia Forest Trail. Walk to the Fengdongshi Recreation Area to play with the ropes, then take the No. 7 Herb Trail, turn left to the Pinghe Natural Dirt Trail, go up the ridge, and walk back to the Guanyin Pavilion. Climb another short flight of stairs and follow the asphalt road of Trail 9 back to the parking lot. We walked along the 6th, 7th, 9th, 10th and Pinghe trails, taking in the scenery for about 3-4 hours. It is a very friendly hiking trail with shade all the way, many rest seats and sports equipment.

Beautiful way to spend a day in Taichung. Loads of trails with varying difficulty levels that make it fun for the whole family. Mid-day it wasn’t too crowded at all. A bit difficult to get to the parking lot but once there all the trails were well labeled and led to great views of the city. Highly recommend if you are going to be in Taichung and are looking for a fun (not all day) long hike.#familytrip

I used to think that “Among the myriad things in this world, I love only three things: the moon and you. The sun is for the morning, the moon is for the evening, and you are for every morning and every evening.” But I never imagined that “Among the myriad things in this world, there are only three things: the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror, and you in the dream. The moon can be sought, the flower can be obtained, but you cannot be obtained.” Finally I understood that “Since ancient times, love has been left with empty regrets, and good dreams are the easiest to wake up from. Regret is the norm, letting go is life I used to think that the biggest regret in life is that the one I love is separated by mountains and seas, and mountains and seas cannot be leveled. Later I realized that there are boats to cross the sea and roads to travel through the mountains. Both mountains and seas can be leveled, but the human heart is difficult to level. No one is without regrets, but some people don’t cry out in pain. The character "人" has two strokes: the left stroke is used to describe the first half of life, which represents perseverance, and the right stroke is used to describe the second half of life, which represents letting go. Don't think about the past, don't fear the future

Today I had a #pork Centric gathering with old colleagues. We went to a western restaurant in Tai Hang. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and comfortable, a great place to meet friends. We ordered six lunches and German pork knuckles. Lunch included appetizers and main courses. I chose celery soup for the appetizer, which was very thick and creamy. In addition, every time the dishes are served, the staff explains the ingredients very carefully. I really appreciate their hospitality. This restaurant has homemade beer. Because it was noon and I had to work in the afternoon, I didn’t drink beer. There is a beer $88 free flow on the menu. If I don’t have to work, I will try the homemade Polish beer☺️

The Dakeng Trail has always been a popular mountain forest trail in Taichung. A new wind-moving stone forest experience space is built at the end of Dakeng Trail No. 8. According to the terrain, there are interactive recreation areas such as spider crawling webs, caterpillar hole loops, lion dance jumping piles, dragon bridges, step-by-step stairs, acacia slides, monkey climbing ropes, and Taishan climbing. Although there are no gorgeous large-scale facilities, the recreation area designed for different age groups is still a highlight in the forest. It is very suitable for parent-child travel on the Dakeng Trail! You can reach the Wind-Moving Stone Park from Dakeng Trail No. 6, 7, and 8. We chose the one with low difficulty, which is only 950 meters one way. It only takes 30-40 minutes to walk with children to reach the free forest playground. You can stroll in the forest and overlook the city of Taichung. You can also let your children experience various climbing facilities. It is highly recommended! #萌萌园长同游趣 #萌萌园长 #赏花攻略 #familytravel #台中 #台中大坑

Usually when you eat Teochew food, you will think of the old-fashioned layout of the restaurant, but in addition to the good Teochew food, the environment here is also excellent. I have never tried to eat Teochew food so upscale. 😎🤌🏻 〈Boutique Six Palace Grid〉🍅🥒🦆👅 The six-square grid refers to six different appetizers, including plum cherry tomatoes, soy sauce pork mince tofu, pepper and sesame beef belly, ginger golden preserved egg, flower okra, and duck tongue. I can only say that the models are beautiful and taste excellent, the first recommendation is plum cherry tomatoes, sweet and sour, bite open super juicy super Juicy. 〈Are Whiskey Goose Liver〉🦆🫁🥃 My friends and I have never seen such a big piece of goose liver. Usually we eat Western goose liver only in small pieces. Even the goose liver we eat in other Teochew shops is not as big as here. The staff also very attentively reminded us to remember to eat the cucumber together, it will be less greasy! 〈Secret Saliva Chicken〉🐔 The portion of this mouth-watering chicken is super large. The soup is very flavourful. The chicken is smooth and meaty, and it's not tough at all. I didn't expect that Teochew restaurants make mouth-watering chicken so good. 〈Teochew dim sum platter〉🦆🦆🦆 This dim sum platter has root hoof, goose slices, goose meat, tofu, goose kidney and pork ears. It's really satisfying to try so many kinds. I have to mention that the restaurant's homemade dim sum is really well seasoned and excellent. 〈Signature Goose Oil Bibimbap〉🦆🍜 I believe many people have heard that IKEA goose oil with noodles is very famous, I did not expect to eat here, more unexpected is the taste here is even better, the taste of goose oil is more fragrant, the point is that there is still a lot of goose meat here can be mixed together to eat, eat to the end really holding the stomach away 🤣 #LocalTour
