This is Taiwan’s longest cable-car system, stretching just over four kilometers. It takes around 10 minutes for a trip (Traveling speed: 6 meters per second).

After a short hiking, we go to the Tea Exhibition Center of Taipei City Government (previous Taipei Tea Promotion Center for TieKuanyin Tea and Paochung Tea) to know Taiwan local teas, tea making tools, reprocessed products, tea-making process and slope-land conservation through a film and narration in the T.E.C.

After the educational trip and lunch, we turn back to the intersection of Sanxuan Temple Hiking Trail and Zhanghu Hiking Trail to continue our trip. Zhanghu Hiking Trail begins at a corridor of Sweet Osmanthus trees, offering a gentle climb. After a 20-minute walk, we go uphill to intersections of Erjiaoge Mountain, Degao Peak (Dailaokeng Mountain), Erge Mountain and Yin He Cave. You can go to Hsintien via the route to Yin He Cave.

After a few minutes’ break, we go downhill on the Zhangshan Temple Hiking Trail, around 1km of stone steps. The trail resembles a flying dragon, so it is also called Feilong, flying dragon, Trail.
