Eighteen Bends Picking Salt Trail–Taiwan–Changhua

1. The northern end of Jiujiu Peak .
2. The end of the Great Wall of China.
3. The afforestation end of the Central Ridge.

Before writing this trail, I need to correct the previous Hengshan Trail . The 18-bend salt-carrying ancient road mentioned in it was wrongly planted by Red. The detour to the triangle point of Xiaobaiyue in Hengshan does not refer to this trail.

The salt-carrying ancient road of the 18th bend is here!

Because the starting point is the same as Qingshuiyan Temple, I am confused, hereby clarify!

There are several trails starting from Qingshuiyan: left and right at the entrance, which are different from other trails introduced by Red himself. Centered on the parking lot

one

1. Go left → Hengshan Trail, go directly to Hengshan Xiaobaiyue triangle point.

Second

1. Go right → 18 Bends Picking Salt Ancient Road
2. Turn right → Central Ridge Afforestation Trail

The above two trails can be used for circular climbing, depending on whether you need to pick the salt from the 18th bend and go under the central ridge; or go up the central ridge and pick the salt. This time, I chose the eighteen bends to pick up the salt and go down from the Central Ridge.

Climbing intersection: 5 kilometers of hiking trails.
Trail Type: Suburban Mountain Trail.
Road conditions: cobblestone trails, wooden trestle bridges, sleeper earth stone steps, steel frame iron bridges.
Walking time: about two hours back and forth Altitude: 120~320 meters.
Difficulty: low.

 The salt-carrying ancient road in Changhua County has twists and turns due to the twists and turns of the mountain. Locals call it "Eighteen Bends", so it is also called "Eighteen Bends Ancient Road". The main road for the residents of Mingjian Township to transport goods is also the only way for merchants in Lukang and Xihu to hire porters to buy and sell salt goods. It has a history of about three or four hundred years.

The above description is taken from the hiking notes

▲This road leads to the 18th Bend Salt Picking Road. It is marked by a road sign. There is a bridge on the right, and the bridge leads to the Zhongyangling Ancient Road.

▼The ecology of this ancient road is very good. As soon as you enter the door, you will see the welcoming butterfly. They are not on flowers, but on the ground~~

▼ Remember " cut "? This one is not pretty, hehe

Along the way, like the Great Wall trail, it has ancient appearance, history and years.

Later, let's take a look at this ancient road with photos~~

▲ Only after the photos were uploaded did I realize that they were all out of focus. However, full of green, out of focus is another kind of beauty. It can also be seen that it is indeed the eighteen bends that are curved and meandering!

After the photo is uploaded, don't care about the quality of the photo, the point is to record~

At this time, the convenience and convenience of the mobile phone record is better than that of the single-eye focus shutter, because my experience value is not enough; but to be honest, the mobile phone's phase and convenience records in this series are really better than the camera, for me to say.

Looking at the background of this family going up the mountain and sweating, I was surprised to find that I didn't wear clothes on the way down, haha~ Zhiling and the eldest pretended not to know me, and they were holding the camera because they were afraid of being mistaken for an exhibitionist, so I took a quick photo. Let's go.... (Allow me to find an excuse for the photo to be out of focus)

Eighteen bends, I only take these few scenes.

After climbing the bend, I was sweating profusely. I wore a non-sweat-absorbent shirt that day, so I simply took it off. After climbing the last step, I suddenly feel enlightened ^_^

This suddenly enlightened, not referring to taking off the shirt, but the scenery after boarding.

▲ At this time, the wide-angle lens has her use, but I didn't bring it, hehe, this scene is left for you to come and see in person~ The large tea garden and pineapple garden.

This is already the end of the ancient salt-carrying trail. Going in the other direction will reach the end of the Zhongyangling afforestation trail. We choose to go down here and make a ring.

▼ Looking at the stairs, the elder cheered: "Fortunately, we will climb this stairs from the other side, I will be exhausted."

▲ Did you see the workers constructing? After going down the long stairs, I wonder if I can move forward? I consulted the foreman, and the foreman said, "It is possible to pass through construction, but it is difficult to walk. It has long been suggested to seal it up, but the government will not listen..."

What? Another unfinished trail. What's even worse is the expression on the eldest son....... I want to climb up and go back the same way......

Thanks for watching~~

Get up on the weekend and sweat it~~

Originally the easter egg was to photograph my king's new clothes, but the "head" scared me last time, so I don't want it this time~~

You must look forward to it, hehe

Gone! !

Thank you for watching~~~ I'll talk about it when I develop my six-pack~~~
