Steps through the trees
Yixuekeng Trail (義學坑步道) runs for about 800 metres, with stone steps and raised wooden stairs shaded by old trees. Butterflies inhabit the surrounding vegetation, and a wooden birdwatching pavilion provides a place for ecological observation. The route lies on the Shanjiao Fault (山腳斷層) and has nearly 200 metres of elevation change.
A park above the city
The upper trail gives views across Taipei and New Taipei, including Xinyue Bridge (新月橋) and Taipei 101 (臺北101). Its hilltop park has exercise equipment and connects several walking routes: Qiding Historic Trail (崎頂古道) leads to Upper Taishan Temple (頂泰山巖), while Qingfengting Trail (清風亭步道) reaches Qiongzihu Fude Temple (瓊仔湖福德宮).
