HIKING TAIWAN – Great day hike if you're ever in Taipei – CAOLING OLD TRAIL (草嶺古道) （有中文CC）
The Caoling Old Trail (草嶺古道) is an historic path that leads from the Taipei area beach town of Fulong over the hills to Dali in Yilan County. Join Richard and Hugo as they take a stroll on this picturesque route, taking in stunning views of Turtle Island and the Yilan coast along the way. Then end the day with a classic Taiwanese meal! A must-do activity if you ever have a day to kill in Taipei.
You can now buy prints of some of my photos on the Website:
The Trail
There are so many options for this trail that there really is no excuse not to do it.
You can start from either end (Fulong or Dali) and there is nothing difficult about it whatsoever.
From the Fulong side it is a gradual slope up to the pass at around 350m above sea level.
Start at the Dali side and you will hit the steep section first.
On a sunny day you will need to take a hat or sunscreen as large sections of the hike have no shade.
Finish the hike off with a lunch box and a cooling dip in the ocean at Fulong!
Travel Logistics
Getting to the trailhead at either end is simple. Most east coast train services running from Taipei stop at Fulong (福隆), although you will need to catch a local or commuter service to get to and from Dali (大里). Train information can be found here (
To save time and a few kilometres you can catch a taxi from Fulong Station to the trailhead. This will cost around US$5.
If you are driving there is a car park at the trailhead on the Fulong side. Fulong is around an hour from Taipei.
Drones
There are currently no known restrictions on the use of drones in the Fulong or Dali area. A useful reference tool and map on drone restrictions in Taiwan can be found here (

從貢寮火車站開始走可以買阿生便當，比福隆便當好吃，相信我絕對不會騙你的。(阿生便當在貢寮火車站旁，是火車站附近唯一的一個店家)
I didn't know Fulong lunch box until I had a business trip to Yilan 15 years ago. My colleague introduced it to me and it was very good. Fulong is probably the only station in Taiwan which sells lunch box directly on the platform.
它還有一條桃源谷內寮支線和大溪支線可以走到內大溪火車站也非常美
Hello Sir.
May i know how to go there? I’m currently living here in Taiwan because of work. And if i have a rest day, I went to hiking to release stress. I just want to know how to get there? Where I can ride a bus or taxi?
Thanks for answering.

You missed out the Daxi section, an unfortunate miss. But wouldn’t do it in summer but winter. Too hot.
山與海之間，如此的靠近、食物如此的方便與美味便宜，台灣真的是很方便的國家。
也曾走過，那天風大雨大，好玩
Love your ☂️. It is normal to have umbrella to help cover the sun in Taiwan. Don't worry. I like your using it. It is smart to protect yourself from sun burn.
This is a really good channel,subscribed and notifications on👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻keep it up and stay safe🙏🏻
我住南部，福隆印象中去過一次，所以也只吃過一次，還不錯，
奮起湖便當也不錯吃喔，有機會來奮起湖玩，順便去爬大棟山（小百岳之一）
草嶺古道真的好美哦
Good
You look so happy in Taiwan, I am happy for you. ^^
雨傘功用很大可以當手杖，打草驚蛇，洋傘，雨傘，遮風
台灣真的很漂亮
這是一條清新古道。最喜歡虎字埤的這一段，當然最後福隆便當堪稱完美結局。👍🍻
Richard please do not walk with a brolly again! 🤣
