The trail towards Dali begins next to the public restrooms at the Taroko Terrace Bus Parking Lot. It overlaps Dekalun Trail and then ascends via steps. A one-way hike to Dali takes about three hours, and then two and a half hours from Dali Village to Datong Village. The trail features information signboards along the way.
 
 Dali Village, formerly known as Xoxos, is above the left bank of Shakadang River, located on a 915-meter-high terrace.
 
 Datong Village, formerly named Shakadang, is located on a 1128-meter-high terrace above the left bank, near the middle section of Shakadang River. These two villages were relocated in 1980 to the Minle Community in Xiulin Township’s Fushi Village. They were the last villages in Taroko National Park to be moved from the mountains.
