Hsinchu Xiakaluo Ancient Trail 2-Day, 1-Night Camping Tour | Qingquan → Retirement Home

Age limit: 18+ to 65+.

The Hsinchu Xiakaluo Trail opened in full in 2019, with a total length of 22 kilometers. This is a professional hiking route and requires personal equipment. Those with a certain level of physical fitness or hiking experience are advised to assess their footing and fitness before signing up.

The Xiakaluo Trail's A-B-C route is arranged as "enter at Qingquan (Shilu) and exit at Yanglao." Compared to the "enter at Yanglao and exit at Qingquan" route, the slope is gentler and easier to walk.

This two-day, one-night Xiakaluo Trail itinerary will primarily depart from Banqiao Train Station, with optional pickup and drop-off at the Taoyuan Daxi Interchange or Hsinchu Guanxi Interchange. The actual pickup time will be announced later. Please fill in the "meeting location" in your booking information for arrangement.

During registration, please ensure you provide an emergency contact. This contact cannot be a fellow traveler. Mountaineering experience must include the name of a mountain successfully climbed within the past two years.

This two-day, one-night Xiakaluo trip provides free utilities (gas, cooking utensils), rations (breakfast and dinner), tents, and sleeping bags. Please bring your own personal gear (including sleeping mats).

Tent capacity will be allocated based on the number of participants and gender. If you are traveling with separate travelers, please inform our customer service in advance so we can arrange your group.

While hiking the Xiakaluo Trail, lunch will be served in the forest. Please prepare your own rations for both days (e.g., bread, dried meat, digestive biscuits, bacon, etc.) for easy portability and immediate consumption.

Vegetarians will primarily consume hot pot vegetables. Please understand that mountain food may be difficult to obtain.

The extent of the maple leaves on the Xiakaluo Trail is unpredictable due to climate change. Please note that the actual scenery at the time of departure is not guaranteed.


This two-day, one-night Xiakaluo Trail trip will be confirmed within three business days after the registration deadline, 14 days prior to departure. A notification will be sent via email, along with a list of equipment and precautions. If the group cannot be completed due to insufficient participants, rescheduling or a full refund are available.


If you have any questions about the itinerary before departure, please contact the mountain guide in the group's LINE group chat.


The mountain guide may make adjustments during the trip based on the group's availability, weather conditions, and other factors.


Please disclose any special or chronic medical conditions so that they can assess your suitability for the hike and avoid any unforeseen consequences.


Please pay attention to safety during the trip and follow the instructions of the tour leader or guide. Unauthorized risk-taking and leaving the group are strictly prohibited. Due to the inherent risk and unpredictability of outdoor activities, participants bear full responsibility for their own actions and consequences.
