Located in Pingxi District, New Taipei City, the Lingjiaoliao Hiking Trail stretches about 3 km and offers a refreshingly cool atmosphere filled with waterfalls and bamboo groves. The trail features diverse flora such as acacia trees, large-headed tea trees, and snake-root grass. Along the way you’ll encounter the “Three Treasures of Lingjiao”: the Tsai Family Western-style House, Wanggu Waterfall, and Lingjiao Old Bridge. While enjoying the falls, coal heritage, and stream crossings accompanied by the murmur of running water, you can fully immerse yourself in the tranquil mountain setting—one of the city’s rare hidden paradises. This natural beauty has even gained international attention, being featured in the authoritative travel guide Lonely Planet, which praised it as “rich in natural scenery and cultural-ecological charm, easily accessible, and ideal for city dwellers seeking a cool mountain escape.” Hiking time: about 1 hour 40 minutes Trail highlights: waterfalls and bamboo scenery
