[Difficulty: Suburban Hiking] The entire route is approximately 10 kilometers, with some sections requiring climbing rope ladders. It is suitable for those who have a habit of exercising.


Nestled within the beautiful mountain town lies a hidden trail, the "San Diao Ling Crossing Houtong Trail." Enjoy the breathtaking scenery of three beautiful waterfalls, a plethora of negative ions, and the magnificent, curved mountain walls. Gazing up at the perfectly cut, sweeping curves, you'll marvel at the power of nature! The trail involves climbing vertical wooden ladders, hanging bridges, and a variety of trail experiences, including crossing a streambed – a truly enjoyable experience. Finally, upon exiting the ancient trail and arriving in Houtong, you can visit the Rui San Ben Mine, the remains of the mine entrance, and the coal transport bridge, reminiscing about the heyday of coal mining. Of course, you'll also want to take a photo with the cats of Houtong, known as the "Cat Village"!
