The typhoon in 2009 destroyed a village, the entrance bridge, and most parts of the national park. Constructions are still carried on today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maolin is also difficult to travel around, given that public transportation is less frequent. Having said that, travelers without private transportation must trek or hitchhike to town and sightseeing points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in Kaohsiung, Mt. Maolin is home to Rukai, Paiwan, and other indigenous tribes. Maolin&#8217;s terrains are marked as deep gorges and high mountains. The mountain sceneries are magnificent and provides a unique experience of indigenous cultures. Given the largest concentration of traditional Rukai, slate houses are preserved in <strong>Duona village<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guide explores the surrounding areas of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/g.page\/deengorge-guesthouse?share\">\u5f97\u6069\u8c37\u751f\u614b\u6c11\u5bbf (<\/a>Deengorge Guesthouse)<\/strong> that can be done on foot.

It makes traveling to the national park accessible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Lumusu Creek Trail <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A pleasant day trek takes about 1:20 minutes. Two newly built suspension bridges look over rocky rivers. At the end of the trail, you will be rewarded with a refreshing waterfall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Strolling the Park <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s 3.3 KM from <strong>\u5f97\u6069\u8c37\u751f\u614b\u6c11\u5bbf (Deengorge Guesthouse)<\/strong> to the nearest town, and it takes about 1 hour. On a cool, sunny, low-traffic morning, this walk takes you to the Zhuokou River. Look out for snake eggs! We have done this walk twice during our stay in town to get food. You will be rewarded with bamboo rice, wild vegetables, and stone meat. Don&#8217;t forget to buy snacks and takeaway dinner if you stay in this guesthouse, unless you are having dinner at Deengorge. They make fluffy, delicious bread and locally sourced food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Time to Visit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>November to March <\/strong>is the best time for the Purple Butterfly season, and free transportation to sightseeing points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Duration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>2 to 4 Days <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Stay?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u5f97\u6069\u8c37\u751f\u614b\u6c11\u5bbf (Deengorge Guesthouse) NT$2500 Double Room +886-989579751<br>Owned and managed by a local family, they know the area very well.
