‘At the foot is the green grass like a carpet. In front is a deep valley of thousands of meters. Looking around, the mountains are like a belt. Looking up, the clear sky is blue.’ This is an impressionistic description of the Qingjing High-altitude Observation Trail. Experiencing it in person and taking 2,000 steps on the observation trail at an altitude of 1,700 meters is another kind of charm.
The dozens of hectares of green grass on Qingjing Farm’s Green Green Pasture feed hundreds of sheep and cattle. The snowmelt from the deep valleys of Hehuan Mountain and Qilai Mountain flows with clear streams that nourish the waves of Sun Moon Lake. The peaks of the northern section of the Central Mountain Range, including Qilai North Peak, Qilai Main Peak, Nanhua Mountain, Nenggao Mountain, Antongjun Mountain, and the Hehuan Mountains, form a high wall like a belt.
The Qingjing High-altitude Landscape Trail is at an altitude of about 1,700 to 2,000 meters. It is 1.6 kilometers long and 2.5 meters wide. It connects the existing old trail starting from the Qingjing National Hotel to the end of the Green Green Pasture Story Hall. The trail is based on a friendly natural environment and landscape and adopts a concealed elevated design. Away from the roadway, crossing the grassland, and passing through the treetops, tourists can safely hike while enjoying the ecological scenes of sheep foraging on the green grass and wild birds jumping on the treetops.
