The Saguer trail is the most accessible trail in the suburbs of Hualien City. It is built with gravel and natural soil paths in a way that respects natural ecology. The slope is gentle and easy to walk on. There are shade trees along the way. You can listen to the chirping of insects and birds and feel the smell of the forest while walking. It is quite pleasant.
The trail is designed in a circular shape. No matter which side you start from, you can easily reach the viewing platform at the middle of the trail and watch the 18-meter-high Sagoer Waterfall up close. The stream water under the waterfall is clear and the high-energy negative ions wash away the hustle and bustle of the city.
