The Longguomai Forest Trail connects Linzhong, Linnan and Pingding Villages in Linnei Township. There are three entrances, respectively at Linnei Park (Shenshe Park), the Tieguankeng Section and the Pingding Section. Visitors can walk from Linnei Park to the Tieguankeng Section to connect to the Bukeng Section or from Kaifu Temple to the Tieguankeng Section and then Bukeng. The part from Pingding to the Tieguankeng Section was built along the ridgeline. From there, the view is excellent. There are century-old acacia trees, purple crow butterflies that come in particular seasons, trenches dug out to fight Japanese, and other rich and diverse natural and cultural attractions.
