OVERVIEW

http://taiwan-adventures.com/hikes-and-trips/high-mountain-hikes/nenggao-historic-trail/

This June 2017 we’ll be hiking the Nenggao Trail and camping near the Tianchi Cabin

The Nenggao Historic Trail is wonderful hike deep into the Taiwan’s Central Mountain Range. The trail was first used by aboriginal tribes for travel and trade. As the Japanese began to expand their influence in Taiwan during the occupation era, the trail was expanded and garrisoned. Finally in the 1950s the trail was used by the Taipower Company to build the east-west transmission lines. Nowadays the trial has been given over to hikers and cyclists alike and makes for a great 2/3 day hike.
