The hiking event offers two different routes: the 9-kilometer "Yulong River landscape leisure route", suitable for families and beginners, and the more challenging 18-kilometer "Yulong River landscape highlights route", favored by experienced hikers.
Cultural interaction points along the routes, including lion dances, folk song performances, traditional ball-throwing, and water chestnut digging, enrich the hiking experience.
The activity has driven sales of agricultural products, homestay operations, and related businesses along the routes, achieving a dual promotion of social and economic benefits.
