The Tonghou Traversing Trail is a famous historic trade and hunting route traditionally used by the Atayal People. The Tonghou Traversing Trail 桶后越嶺古道 is a long hike, but the trail is not technically challenging. The first 12km are mostly flat and on a hard-surfaced forest road (桶後林道) managed by the Hsinchu Forest Bureau. The remaining 6.8km is the actual Tonghou Traversing Trail. The guests will hike a total of 19km from drop off in Wulai to Yilan County.
There is no public transit to the trailheads on either side. This point-to-point trail or thru-hike is a perfect Parkbus Taiwan destination. We'll take care of the transportation, so you can enjoy a day out on the trail.
