These two trails are connected. Starting from the Park headquarters and walking from Xiaozhuilu to Wujianwu (5D Cabin) of Shakadang trail is about 5.6 km / approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Please go to our Taroko Visitor Center service counter and request for a brochure and the detailed map of these two trails. Or consult our website for details by clicking Tourism Info> Trails.
