What there is to do here
3 routes Day trip Gukeng: Huashan and Zhanghu・Gukeng: Caoling and Shibi・Linnei
One township, coffee at 400 m and high-mountain tea at 1,200. Gukeng lets the two get on with their own business: Huashan and Zhanghu turned to garden cafés and hill trails, while Caoling and Shibi kept making high-mountain tea. Linnei sits lower still, 200 to 400 m.
