Syakaro Historic Trail: 22km National Trek from Wufeng to Jianshi
A full-day hike across Hsinchu County's remote National Trail, featuring Japanese-era ruins and a 140-meter suspension bridge
The Syakaro Historic Trail is a 22-kilometer thru-hike that traverses Hsinchu County between Wufeng and Jianshi townships. Named for "black heart stone" in the Atayal language, the trail has been designated a National Trail in Taiwan and counts among the country's most established long-distance hiking routes. The route climbs between 1,247 and 1,507 meters in elevation, gaining 260 meters total across moderate-to-challenging terrain that includes ladder sections, scrambling over uneven ground, and several suspension bridges. Hikers pass through abandoned Japanese-era police stations and cross the 140-meter-high Baishi Suspension Bridge spanning a forested valley. The trail is remote, well-maintained, and takes approximately eight hours to complete. Private transportation departs Taipei Main Station before dawn and returns late in the day, making this a full commitment but removing the need for logistics planning at either trailhead.
