(Central News Agency reporter Chao Li-yen, Taichung, 30th) The wooden bridge at the 1.4-kilometer mark of the "Butterfly Valley Trail," a branch of Tangmadan Mountain, one of the "Guguan Seven Heroes" in Heping District, Taichung City, was impassable due to structural damage. The realignment and renovation project has now been completed, and the trail will reopen today.
The Taichung Branch of the Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency announced today in a press release that the wooden bridge at the 1.4-kilometer mark of the Butterfly Valley Trail was severely damaged and impassable due to unstable geology on the right slope and long-term heavy impacts from falling rocks.
To address the recurring risk of falling rocks in that section, the Taichung Branch of the Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency invited experts for multiple on-site surveys. They ultimately decided to abandon the original route, which had safety concerns, and re-planned a new route that avoids hot spots for falling rocks. The new route was constructed with new terrain adaptations and protective facilities, hoping to ensure the safety of hikers.
The construction team minimized disturbance to the surrounding natural vegetation during the project, preserving the original broadleaf forest landscape of Butterfly Valley. The realignment and renovation project of the Butterfly Valley Trail has been completed recently and is fully reopened starting today. (Editor: Chen Ching-fang) 1150430
