Shakadang Trail (Chinese: 砂卡礑步道; pinyin: Shākǎdàng Bùdào) or Mysterious Valley Trail is a trail in Taroko National Park, Xiulin Township, Hualien County, Taiwan.
History
The trail was originally constructed as Shenmigu Trail during the Japanese rule of Taiwan as a path for the construction of Liwu Power Plant. In 2001, it was renamed to Shakadang Trail.[1] The trail was closed on 23 September until 1 November 2019, except on 10–13 October 2019.[2] In April 2024 during the Hualien earthquake, seven people who were hiking along the trail were found dead due to rockslide.[3]
