#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The Tianmu Water Pipeline was a water transport route opened during the Japanese colonial period. In order to draw spring water from Yangming Mountain, water pipes were laid here to supply the Tianmu area, and footpaths were set up along the way, which are commonly known as the "Water Pipeline". Along the trail, you can see the Sanjiaopu Power Plant, large black water pipes and adjustment wells left by the Japanese (Figures 14-15). Along the way, there are dense trees, beautiful scenery, primitive forests and rich ecology. Walking along the trail makes people feel cool and comfortable. When people mention the "Tianmu Historic Trail", they usually mean the Tianmu "Water Pipeline Trail", a popular trail on the southern edge of Yangmingshan National Park, which runs from Huagang (Cultural University) to Tianmu (Alley 232, Section 7, Zhongshan North Road) and is about 2.6 kilometers long. This section is relatively easy to walk, all downhill. It is more difficult to start from Tianmu. You must first climb 1,300 steps. After reaching the adjustment well, there is a flat forest bathing trail (Figure 17-18). In addition to breathing fresh air, you can also hear the gurgling water in the large black water pipes and the chirping of birds and insects. Here you can wander in the lush water source protection forest, experience the tranquility and primitiveness of nature, and learn about the various cultural and historical features of the Tianmu Ancient Trail. I walked this section, and the end point was Culture University, because it was more physically active. The scenery along the way was beautiful, with all kinds of plants, flowers, vegetables and fruits everywhere. I happened to see a cat standing on a water pipe, which was super cute.

#Taipei Attractions The Tianmu Historic Trail is surrounded by lush forests. The towering trees on both sides of the trail are like natural barriers, exuding a faint tree fragrance. The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows, embellishing the scenery along the way into a poetic and picturesque scene that makes people yearn for it. As you walk deeper, the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers interweave in the air, and a fresh breath blows on your face from time to time. The brook gurgles, flowing leisurely between the stones, making light notes. This green field is like a moving painting. Every detail exudes the vitality of nature, making people unable to help but stop and immerse themselves in this tranquility. As we continued to walk upward along the trail, the worries in my heart seemed to fade away with the rhythm of my breathing. Occasionally we meet enthusiastic climbers and greet each other with smiles, as if we are sharing this beautiful moment of coexistence with nature. #Tianmu Ancient Trail #Mountain Trail #Fresh Green Fields #Natural Beauty #Soul Cleansing

#Taipei Attractions The Tianmu Ancient Trail is a green tunnel in the mountains. The intertwined branches create a shaded path under the sunlight. The winding stone steps beside the stream spiral up through the woods, exuding a pristine and fresh atmosphere of nature everywhere. 🌳🏞️ On the ancient road, there is only a moss-covered stone path extending under your feet. Ancient trees stand tall on the side of the road. The towering treetops block out the sun, and it looks particularly dark and elegant under the broken morning light. 🌄🍃 #mossywindingroad #darkshade The brook is filled with gurgling spring water, and the rocky riverbed is stacked with layers of small waterfalls, which appear so cool and brewing under the shade of the trees. ☘️💧 #StreamSound #ForestWaterfall Occasionally, you can hear bursts of melodious bird chirping coming from the branches and leaves on the trail, accompanied by the accompaniment of the gurgling water, as if the most primitive and pure sound of nature is being played here. 🐦🎶#birdsong #sounds of nature in the forest
