Datongshan Hiking Trail

Datongshan, 237 meters above sea level, is a hill situated on the ridge extending southeast from Dadongshan, directly north of Shanjia Station. It is known as the 'backyard garden' of Shulin District. The Datongshan Hiking Trail consists of stairs, natural paths, and paved concrete paths, with three main routes that eventually converge at Qinglongling. Two of the trailheads are not far from Shulin Station and Shanjia Station, making it accessible by Taiwan Railways for hiking. The trail is densely shaded by trees, with a gentle ascent and descent throughout. The viewing platform at the summit offers excellent panoramic views, providing a full cityscape of Taipei and New Taipei (Shuangbei).
