Lushui Trail, Xiulin

Such a gorgeous walk - highly highly recommend! You’re walking high in the gorge with gorgeous views of the river and the surroundings. You also walk through a little tunnel. There’s also a forest you walk through, so listen out for all the birds and wildlife. Enjoy it!

Fantastic walk, takes approximately 30-40 minutes one way with stops for photos etc. I got off the bus at Lushui and got back on at Heliu Campground. There is a short tunnel but a torch isn’t really necessary. Highly recommend adding this walk (and extending it to Yuefei Pavilion & Cimu Bridge, for an extra 30mins) to your Taroko Gorge trip.

Very beautiful and amazing view, easy walking about 2km with 30m cave.

Simple but beautiful trail. 20/30 minutes maximum. If you are a good hiker you can go on with the harder one: Lushui to Wenshan trail (3 hours if you are average hiker).

The trail is currently only partially open. From the 綠水 Lu Shui bus stop, you can only walk a good 5 minutes before you reach the section currently closed. At the start of the trail, one could turn left and hike the Lu Shui - Wenshan trail which takes considerably longer with its 5.5km length. Currently certainly not worth stopping here, which is a pity - the short part accesible is actually quite fun!
