Taoshan Trail

The Wuling National Forest Recreation Area is located on both shores of the Qijiawan Creek at the upstream of the Dajia River, surrounded by the Snow Mountains, Pintian Mountain, Chiyou Mounatain and Kelaye Mountain. Taking the Taoshan Trail, one can reach the main peak of Tao Mountain, Chiyou Mountain and Puintian Mountain. The scenery changes through the seasons. The cherry trees blossom between February and April and the maple leaves turn red between October and December. The Taoshan Waterfall and Qijiawan Creek are important natural resources.
