Among the various trails in this area, this one is superb, thanks to the particularly comfortable and obvious stone path. The path is in the shade of the trees, it's short (967m) and it is not particularly steep. It starts very close to the highway and heads towards the tea plantations above Hukou. From the heights of Hukou, it is then easy to reach the Golden Lion temple and return to the start thanks to the...

Read more緊鄰國道1號,須穿越地下道才會到停車場(車道狹小,會車注意),車位蠻多的,但就是塊空地沒特別規劃(雜草有點長)
步道在地圖上並未顯示路徑,一旁的金獅步道才有,但其實兩條步道與山頂的茶香步道可連成O型一圈(停車場右方為金獅步道登山口,另一頭為仁和步道口),一般腳程悠閒晃晃拍個照,約莫可待個1-2小時;整體路標指示覺得不夠清楚,第一次到訪會搞不清楚步道路線
金獅步道 步道較原始,約15分鐘即可抵達涼亭與產業道路,階梯是由大顆石頭堆疊而上的,坡度略陡,雨後可能較易濕滑;穿過涼亭後方有一條人工石階步道,可繞回接近登山口的步道處,桐花不到非常密,但還算多(土城還是略勝一籌);產業道路左方往寺廟,有洗手間可以使用,視野不錯,可以小歇一下,產業道路右方斜坡往上走一小段左側會看到人工水泥地,沿此道路即可抵達茶香步道,才會再接到仁和步道口
茶香步道 此處栽種綠茶及苦茶,佔地不算很廣,但風景優美,有長板蹬可供歇息,茶園繞一圈原入口出來繼續往前走就會到仁和步道口,若從茶園另一頭可接祥湖步道
仁和步道 為人工石階梯,階梯數較多,但坡度緩,桐花數量不比金獅步道多,步道環境比金獅明亮一些,下至路口處會看到國道1號,沒多久就抵達停車場,約莫也是15分鐘的路程
*算是親民的步道路線,階梯居多,4月底至5月可以前來賞桐;指標不太清楚,若從金獅步道啟登,要記得登頂後走產業道路右方斜坡上去再接茶香步道才會抵達...
