The "Zhinangong Hiking Trail," also known as the "Thousand-Step Trail" or the "Nagai Podocarpus Visiting Path," has been a significant pilgrimage route for believers since ancient times. Today, nagai podocarpus line the trail, and people have restored the damaged stone lanterns and pillars, allowing the trail to once again showcase its centuries-old splendor.千階步道▲Zhinangong Hiking Trail
