Yilan Jiaoxi Linmei Shipan Trail

Linmei Shipan Trail is located in Linmei Village, Jiaoxi, Yilan. It is a low-altitude subtropical valley and canyon terrain. It originally had several sections of slippery undulating creek bed pavement and a 30-meter-long 70-degree rock wall slope. Now it has been renovated into a comfortable A safe walking space, perfect for parents and children.

The name of the Linmei Shipan Trail is a combination of the village "Linmei" where it is located, and the "Shipan" Waterfall, the key landscape of the trail. The old name of Linmei Village is "Linwei", which refers to the last reclaimed mountain village in the Jiaoxi area. The pronunciation of "wei" and "beauty" in Taiwanese are similar, so "Linmei" gradually evolved into "Linmei". This trail is 1.7 kilometers long. It enters from the right and exits from the left. It is arranged in a circle. It is an important water channel for early people's farming and livelihood. It is like a string of emeralds passed down by an old grandmother. It is full of historical traces of the ancestors' roads and the villagers. I have endless nostalgia for my childhood memories.

The terrain of Linmei Village is high and water is inconvenient. Therefore, water is diverted from the Shipan Falls in the upper reaches to the lower reaches to irrigate more than ten hectares of terraced fields in the lower reaches. This Shuizhen Road is the predecessor of the Linmei Shipan Trail. At the rock-jumping section across the stream starting at 400 meters on the trail, and in front of the water hole at 520 meters, you can clearly see the remains of the Shuizhen
and Channel Cave respectively.
