Tonghou Creek

The natural environment here is rich and complete, attracting dozens of species of birds to inhabit. Along the way, there are natural landscapes such as rapids, bays, deep valleys, and waterfalls. The end point is the Tonghou Ancient Trail across the mountain range, with a total length of 17 kilometers and leading to Jiaoxi, Yilan County. It is an ancient trail used by the Atayal people when they migrated in the past. It is also due to this unique natural environment that it was selected as the shooting location for the movie ‘Seediq Bale’. Open all day (entry mountain application needs to be made at the Wuyu checkpoint before going). Tips: Vehicles entering the mountain need to apply for a mountain entry permit online in advance.
