About Xianjiyan Trail:

According to legend, Lu Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals, left his footprints on the top of a large rock here. The name "Xianjiyan" combines "Xianji," meaning "Footprints of the Fairy," and "yan," meaning rocks. Visitors frequently see squirrels leaping and butterflies fluttering in the forest on both sides of the trail. This area is an excellent spot for urban dwellers to enjoy holidays and relaxation, as well as to savor the Taipei snacks available at the nearby Jingmei Night Market.
