Stretching more than eight kilometers, Alangyi Historic Trail is a section of coastline with abundant animal and plantation resources. It takes four to six hours to complete the whole journey.
If you start from the Taitung end, the route is relatively flat at first. After passing Tawa River, the county border of Taitung and Pingtung, you will come to a beach full of round stones. Many tourists will stack the stones into a small tower, which is said to be an act of blessing.
Climb up the steep uphill section, and in front of you is the vast Pacific Ocean. The rich ecological resources and the well-preserved historic sites along the ancient trail enrich every step of the way with intriguing surprises.
“Alangyi” is actually the old name of the Aljungic village of the Paiwan people. Today, the Aljungic tribe is located near the Taitung entrance of the historic trail, which history is also closely related to the culture of the indigenous people.
