Little Cukeng Ancient Trail

For a wonderful spot to admire tung blossoms in late spring, the Little Cukeng Ancient Trail is unparalleled! This tranquil path, connecting the Cukeng and Shimen areas, annually attracts numerous visitors during the Hakka Tung Blossom Festival from March to May. They come to admire the stunning scenery of white blossoms scattered among layers of lush green forest. Walking along the century-old stone steps, you might unexpectedly discover a heartwarming sight on a corner platform: a heart-shaped wreath meticulously arranged by travelers using tung petals – a truly therapeutic moment! A summer night visit offers different surprises; fireflies express their love, their tiny lights flickering like myriad stars, adding a captivating charm to the dark mountain wilderness. This moving spectacle, impossible to appreciate in the city, is absolutely worth your anticipation to ascend the mountain and explore under the cover of darkness!
