A loop hike in the Phoenix Ridge Scenic area that goes all the way up the stairs to the ‘Flying Stone Pagoda’ and then back down a different track to finish.
The park area contains a network of paved trails that pass by old shrines, caves, and precariously-perched pagodas. We'll follow the park stairs up to the ridge to take a look at the "Flying Stone Pagoda" perched at 728m above sea level, and then come back down a different path down the slopes.
It’s a big climb up to the Flying Stone Pagoda, with several false tops along the way to go with the ‘Ladder to Heaven’. If you’re up for the exercise, we’ll include the ‘Winding Trail to Cave’, another interesting section of the paths along the north side of the park area.
From the pagoda it gets easier—mostly flat, and then down all the way along the stairs on the southern side of the park.
Cost: ¥380 / ¥340 for members
