Walked the trail on 10 November, 2019 during the above which happens in November every year and it was lovely. It was free and no registration was required. I would recommend to start from Dali as its easier to find the entrance to the trail just behind the temple which is a short 5mins walk from Dali train station. Lots of signages in english. Take the longer and more gradual road up instead of the steeper stairs if not super fit. Trail had wonderful views of the coastal areas & the silver grass was everywhere. Took about 1.5hr at a slow pace to reach the top before another hour downhill to Fulong.I took the local train from Taipei Main Station to Dali (about 2hrs, NTD94) & from Fulong back to TMS (1.5hrs, NTD83). I used Easycard for the train rides. Local trains function like the mrt ie. no reserve seating & no need to book in advance. Just tap on/off at the platforms.

From 28 December 2019 through to 14 January 2020 my wife and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary on an 18 day Asian tour enjoying short visits to Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Laos and Singapore. Our 6 night private tour of Taiwan arranged through Wendy Wu Tours had hotel stays in Taipei, Taroko Gorge, Sun Moon Lake, Tainan and Kaohsiung. On the last day of our tour we travelled on the west of the island from Kaohsiung (Taiwan’s third largest city and its largest port) back to the capital Taipei; a 350 kilometre easy drive on an excellent highway. On the way we visited the charming old town of Lukang (formerly known as Lugang) at the halfway point. Lukang was one of the really surprise stops on our tour boasting some really wonderful attractions. Our itinerary took us to two excellent temples – Xinzu Temple and Long-shan Temple and to get to both of these we enjoyed a very pleasant stroll along the Lukang Old Street. Lukang Old Street is essentially the narrow, curved, red-tiled lanes of today's Putou, Yaolin, and Dayou streets. Both sides of the street are lined with old-style, renovated shop buildings featuring interesting room layouts and old-style exteriors. There are many shops selling well made handicrafts and lots of street food vendors selling a wide range of novel, local food specialties. We enjoyed our walk passing the many shops and by keeping our eyes opened we were rewarded with some pleasant unexpected surprises. We were fascinated by one shop which had very salty dried cod roe for sale. There were around 70 of these in orderly rows on a rather crudely assembled but effective wooden table. They were elongated heart shaped and parted down the middle by a defined line and brightly coloured orange. Another store was selling a range of candies and biscuits and yet another was offering an eye catching display of what my research for this review has determined to be Tanghulu. Tanghulu, I discovered, is a traditional Chinese cuisine made by stringing wild fruits with bamboo sticks and dipping them with maltose and tasting sweet and sour. The red and wild mountain plants are arranged on bamboo sticks according to their size, and they are covered with crystal clear sugar. They make for a very colourful and tempting display. Finally my wife, who is an ardent cat lover had to take a photo in the store that had its ginger and white cat cheekily making its home in its own cat basket amongst a range of toys for sale. Visitors to Lukang should not miss the opportunity to take a stroll down the Lukang Old Street and share in its unique, old charm. I understand that it can get very crowded on weekends, which is not surprising, given the immense atmosphere of the place. How fortunate then that we were here on a weekday (Monday) when very few people were around. This was a memorable experience.

This district has preserved buildings from the period of Japanese occupation. They have mixed flavor of pre-war Japanese architecture with Taiwanese modification. They are truly remarkable and worth visiting. The line of shops are mostly herbs and dried foods, but there are some souvenir shops in between.
