Starting October 31st, weekend shuttle buses will be "free to ride" and no reservations are required!
In late autumn, the grassy slopes of Caoling Ancient Trail are covered in silvery-white reeds swaying in the wind, resembling waves of silver rolling through the valleys, ushering in the most romantic season for appreciating the reeds each year. The Northeast Coast and Yilan Coast National Scenic Area Administration of the Tourism Administration, Ministry of Transportation and Communications, has been organizing the "Caoling Ancient Trail Grassy-White Reed Festival" since 2002. This year marks its 25th anniversary, and a special free shuttle bus service is offered on weekends, allowing the public to avoid transportation costs and the burden of walking, easily stepping into the autumn mountain trails and enjoying the limited-time autumn snow of Caoling Ancient Trail.
To facilitate travel to and from the Caoling Ancient Trail, a free two-way shuttle service will be provided every Saturday and Sunday from October 31st to November 29th during the silvergrass season, connecting the Fulong Visitor Center and Yuanwang Kengkou. The service will run from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, approximately every 15 minutes. Reservations are not required; visitors can board the shuttle in the order of their queue at the Fulong Visitor Center. Whether you are a hiker planning a mountain climb or a family enjoying the autumn holidays, this service makes it easier and more convenient to plan your silvergrass viewing trip.
As autumn winds blow and silvergrass blooms, the 25-year-old autumn promise continues! People across the country are invited to take advantage of the silvergrass season from October 31 to November 29 to visit the Caoling Ancient Trail by taking a free shuttle bus and experience the romantic scenery of silvergrass covering the mountains like snow, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Caoling Ancient Trail Silvergrass Season.
