Little Cilai trail (小奇萊步道) entrance is in front of Ski Villa (滑雪山莊). A 1.3 kilometers trail is about 3-hour return hike. Through Taiwan White Fir forest and Arrow Bamboo grove, coming into sight is multi-layer mountains, like rise and fall waves of ocean. Standing on the highest point, 3,150 meters, looking back and one can see Hehuanshan. In good weather condition, Yushan (玉山), the highest mountain in Taiwan, is able to be seen.
Better to hike before noon since getting foggy easily in the afternoon. No special equipment is essential for adult. But it is recommended to take a trekking pole and wear hiking boots for elders.
No need to worry while getting lose or in any trouble. Along the trail, stones with sign "points of cell phone accessibility" are the points available to access cellular network. However, experience and equipment are required if going further after Little Cilai trail.
