About Guizikeng Trail:

Guizikeng is located on the south-west part of Mt. Datun and is famed for its geological landscapes. There used to be a ceramic material mine in Guizikeng. Soil erosion was serious due to the overexploitation. Efforts have been made by the government since 1980’s to improve water and soil conservation. The education park has been established in 1994. 

Taipei Grand Trail is a 92-kilometer long-distance urban hiking trail in Taipei and Guizikeng Trail is one of the trails in section 1.
