Tamlan Trail – Central Route: Where History Walks with You
Looking for a hike that weaves together nature, culture, and the footsteps of history? The Central Route of the Tamsui–Kavalan Trail (淡蘭古道中路) is a quiet, winding journey through Taiwan’s northern mountains, once walked by merchants, officials, and villagers journeying between the Tamsui and Kavalan (Yilan) regions during the Qing Dynasty.
Among the three traditional routes (coastal, central, and mountain), the Central Route was the busiest in its heyday — linking towns, tea farms, and trade stations along forested ridgelines and lush valleys. Today, it’s a favorite among hikers who crave both scenic beauty and a sense of place.
