Illustrative Five Yuan Two Jiao is in Caoling, Gukeng Township, Yunlin County, at an elevation of about 1,600 metres, a natural landscape wrapped in Moso bamboo forest. The grounds are dotted with bamboo-woven pavilions; the cumulative count of their corners gave the spot its name 'five yuan and two jiao', and the scene evokes a hidden-away atmosphere reminiscent of Kyoto's Arashiyama. Summer temperatures run low, making it ideal for escaping the heat, walking and photo ops, and it connects with the neighbouring Wood Horse Old Trail and Yunlingzhi Hill trails, well-suited to a one-day hiking itinerary.
