Departing from Gongliao Train Station and walking along Yuanwangkeng Street towards the mountain, you will find the entry of Caoling old path—Beikou. Before Beikou, the road is blacktop and concrete road, but after entering Beikou, you will have to walk up stone steps and slope. Walking through the underpass in front of Gongliao Elementary School, you will find yourself in Desing Palace, which was originally a place used for rice solarization.

　　 Standing at the entry to Yuanwangkeng Street, you will see a nice view of farm houses, temples and paddyfield. Walking up the slope, Broussonetia papyrifera, Morus australis Poir and Medinilla formosana welcome you on both sides of the footpath. If you visit the place in June, you might be able to see all kinds of beautiful butterflies, including Cyrestis thyodamas and Papilio polytes. Golden eagles are visitors of the area. In the summer, a lot of visitors enjoy fishing and swimming in the stream.
