Ah Min is an amazing guide, friendly and responsible. Takes very very good photos and is patient with those who are hiking a bit slower. I felt very safe and enjoyed the hike at every moment. Highly recommended. Will do this again if I’m ever back in Taiwan
The one-way trip is about 3.1 kilometers and climbs about 550 meters. The first 2.5 kilometers are all uphill and almost all are stairs. After 2.5 kilometers, there is the relatively gentle Zhuilu Cliff. There are ropes next to the cliff to pull up. In fact, the cliff is not as scary as it looks in the photo. The resting space is quite large and shaded by trees. You can take a good rest before returning.
The scenery is amazing and worth the trip. Even if it’s not sunny, the fog is very atmospheric. It is relatively safe to have a team guide for the first time. There are two guides leading the team, which is very reassuring. The guide was very kind and did not rush me when I was not strong enough in the early part. He kept chatting to divert his attention. Finally, he managed to see the beautiful scenery at the end. It was very worth it. However, the descent was a bit rushed.
I took the train to Hualien, stayed one night and was connected to a hotel for hiking the next day. The tour guide was very enthusiastic and allowed me to use trekking poles. I also ate rice balls and biscuits to replenish calories. I took a rest when my feet were sore. I took a lot of beautiful photos. It was really Yes, after climbing we took us to the train station, rented a motorcycle to eat Yuli Stinky Tofu, watched the sea in Pacific Park, returned to the train station to eat a railway bento, then got on the train and headed home.
Highly recommend Coach Xiaoyu, he is sincere and responsible ~ I made a special trip to walk the Zhuilu Ancient Trail! The challenge was successful 🏆 He took photos for us attentively and the car drove smoothly.
Thank you Xiao V for your leadership. I went to Zhuili today to take a lot of photos, which is a good memory.
It was a perfect day though it was drizzling but the tour was so smooth specially we got the awesome tour guides like eric and his friends who brought us the the to the trail... anyway we didn’t make it to the top coz of knee problem so we decided to go back and leave our other hikers go on the adventure. But the good thing was eric won’t let us just like that so he brought us to the other trail which is not stepped elevated but still beautiful place in taroko.. still want to go back..
Tour guide was nice although they did not speak English, but there were other tour members that helped us with translation!
After ordering the Klook itinerary, all questions will be answered as soon as possible. I am sure of this. In addition, I am ordering the Zhuilu Ancient Trail this time. In addition to reminding the members of the important notes, the tour guide is also enthusiastic to help the members prepare for climbing The stick will also introduce the history of the Zhuilu Ancient Road and the historical sites along the road during the climbing process. The most important thing is to help take pictures enthusiastically. The guide An Gu is really good and very responsible. On the whole, I am quite satisfied with the Klook platform for this trip.
For this activity, you can pick up and drop off from hotels in Hualien city and then return to hotels in Hualien city. It is really convenient for tourists without transportation. You can also provide replenishment in supermarkets before departure, so you don’t have to worry about forgetting to prepare water and food. The scenery along the Zhuilu Ancient Road is very magnificent, plus the excellent weather on the day of the event, no matter how you take pictures. The guide and the leader of the car provide historical introduction along the way, always pay attention to the status of the team members, and provide rice balls to supplement energy when they arrive at the turning point. Although the other team members participating together do not know each other, they are kind and energetic. They can meet friends and make the journey. There are more memories, it is really recommended.
