This route was built in the early days with fewer users. There have been numerous typhoons hitting the area in the past, so it is recommended that hikers take extra precautions when crossing suspension bridges and plank bridges. Some sections require crossing streams on foot, so extra precautions must be taken to avoid weather changes and on river-crossing skills. There have been landslides in several spots along the trail, making the move on the trail even more difficult.03
The eastern section of the trail after Dafen is located in a wet area, and there are plenty of weeds and bushes, leeches, venomous snakes, hornets, and stinging nettles, so hikers must be extra careful when trekking in the area.04
