The Luchanglienling Trail is located in the northwest of the Shueba National Park and it links the hot springs in Erbensung, Guanwu, KuAli Mountain, Genben and Taian on the Ximingshan Island in Taian, Miaoli. This Historic Trail with close connection to the Taiya Tribe used to be a mountain trail the Taiya Tribe aboriginal by the Dajia River took for migration and hunting. When the Japanese government, the trail that used to be an access for hunting, banned it or migration was later widened and reorganized by the reigning government into a road for the control of the aboriginal. Major attractions by the trail are Digang Cliff, Daan River Valley and the Shuejian Fall. Other historical ruins are the police stations at Genben, Sato, KuAli Mountain, Shuguang, Beikeng, Shuejian and Erbensung as well the one at Wantian, all of enriched cultural touches.

There are a few reptiles and amphibious species, such as Papilio xuthus, ????, ??? and botflies among others.
