The Erlun Natural Trail is under the Ziqiang Bridge in Yunlin County on the south shore of the Zhuoshui River, in the 27-hectare protection forest west of Provincial Highway 19. During the Japanese Rule, the area was called Sifandi. The sand in the riverbed piled up over the years and became the lush green Shalun Hill today. The walk is on soft, golden sandy ground. The trail runs up and down along the hill. There are the Wenzhu Boardwalk, a suspension bridge, the Lake-watching Deck, an outdoor entomology classroom, a pavilion and rest stops along the way.
