[Reporter Zhang Xuanzhe/Taichung Report] Affected by the epidemic in recent years, the China National Travel Service has exploded, and tourists in the Dalishan area have increased. In order to enhance the characteristics of the Huanshan Tribe attractions, the ring line of the Huanshan Hunter Mountaineering Trail with a total length of about 2.5 kilometers was completed on February 6 this year. It has been fully opened in March, and recreational nodes have been built with Atayal elements such as semi-cave ruins and hunters' archery arena, allowing visitors to experience traditional Atayal culture, which has been well received.

The Tourism Bureau of Taichung City Government pointed out today that the investment of 31.64 million yuan in the project and the subsidy of 27.36 million yuan from the Tourism Bureau of the Ministry of Communications totaled 59 million yuan to build the "Hunter Mountain Hiking Trail".

Chen Meixiu, director of tourism and tourism, said that the Huanshan tribe in the Lishan area is located in the valley surrounded by Nanhu Mountain, Central Jianshan Mountain and Snow Mountain. It is the largest Atayal tribe in the Zhongheng Yilan branch line. It has always been a private scenic spot for landscape lovers; the Tourism Bureau has created mountaineering trails with tribal cultural heritage significance through reduced-volume design and environmentally sustainable methods, adding new highlights to the tourism construction of the Lishan area.

The Bureau of Tourism and Tourism pointed out that the project will build trails along the ancient hunting trails of the Atayal people. The originally partially collapsed wild trails will be constructed with the lowest ecological interference. The construction method widens the narrow and difficult-to-pass dangerous road sections to improve recreational safety; the too steep road sections are rebuilt with log steps to increase safety, and the railings are also designed with reduced volume and constructed with three-cable railings. The rope bridge is crossed, making the ancient hunting trails that originally required professional mountaineering equipment to be accessed safer.

The trail combines the elements of the Atayal tribe to set up distinctive recreational nodes, such as building a place of purification and blessing with logs and tribal totems; rebuilding the abandoned semi-cave ruins with wooden structures; listening to the needs of the tribe, setting up a hunter archery arena; Stacked stones, weaving patterns, and the imagery of a white-eyed thrush create an indicator system that allows tourists who come for recreation to not only experience the mountains and forests, but also better understand tribal culture.

The Huanshan Tribe is surrounded by mountains and has a quiet scenery.
