The trail begins at Renai Township in Nantou County, runs through the Qilai Series and Nenggao Series in the middle section of the Central Mountain Range, and reaches Tongmen Village in Xiulin Township, Hualien County. It parallels with the Taluowan Creek and meanders in the endless mountains. 90% of the trail passes the Danda Major Wildlife Habitat. It used to be the path the Seediq Tribesmen took to go hunting and travel and also an important defense line during the Japanese Rule. Since the recovery of Taiwan until today, it has been Taipower’s high voltage cable maintenance route. The subtropical high-mountain grassland, the magnificent formation of the Central Mountain Range, the virgin forest with gaint trees, the waterfalls and mountain springs running down the cliffs, the landslides and ravines, the high peaks and deep gorges, and the peaceful and beautiful Qilai Mountain Lake offer different high-mountain views through the seasons. It has been a very popular hiking route since the Japanese Rule Period.
