Guests will get picked up from Chiayi High-Speed Train Station and will be driven to the trailhead in Ruelli. A brief washroom break on the way to the trail will take place as there are no services available for the entire duration of the trail. Guests will have the opportunity to experience the 7km Fenrui Historical Trail between the mountain villages of Fenqihu and Ruelli in Chiayi County in Taiwan. This trail was originally built by the local indigenous communities as a way to transfer agriculture and other goods between communities.

This is a moderate one-way hike and is characterized by the incredibly tall and dense bamboo forests that lie between the two villages. The trail traverses through tea farms and offers guests the chance to see the famous Sea of Clouds. Once arriving in Fenqihu, guests will have a few hours to explore the historic mountain village and old street as well as hike one or several of the other local trails in the area before getting on the bus and returning to Chiayi High-Speed Train Station.
