Mt. Xin-Mt. Malun Trail

From the middle of Sihkeba Trail, one can go southeast to reach the Xinshan Malun Mountain Trail which was originally a mountain path built by workers at the Xinshan Lumber Yard to transport daily commodities. Later, it was widened before Former President Chiang Kaishek visited the Xinshan Tree Farm. The forests along the trail are beautiful, including broadleaf forests at medium altitudes and conifer forests at high altitudes. There are also many deserted lumbering sites. It is a popular hiking route in central Taiwan.
