Details
This event has been canceled for many times due to the raining season of northeast. I hope this time the weather is OK.
This trail is located in northeast of Taiwan which you can always appreciate the view of ocean and grassland on the ridge. It is famous for Front Teeth Rocks, great view and unique rocks!
