Changhua County's popular "Gua Shan Grand Traverse" hiking event is back for its fifth year, this time with a novel "Gua Shan Infinite Travel Agency" theme designed to engage participants more deeply.

This year, hikers are invited to join the "Gua Shan Infinite Travel Agency" online, transforming from mere visitors into members. By completing specific trail tasks, they can accumulate a personal travel resume, with opportunities to advance to "manager" status. This gamified approach aims to make each hike a unique achievement.

A key attraction is the limited-edition "Little Mountain Monster" scented handmade soap, which serves as a completion gift. Each of the eight unique scents corresponds to the natural scenery and local characteristics of the eight featured trails. These soaps are designed to capture the essence of the mountains, offering a sensory experience that can be collected, shared, or integrated into daily life.

The event, running from September 1 to November 30, will feature eight distinct trails in the Bagua Mountain range, spanning Changhua City, Huatan, Fenyuan, Yuanlin, Shetou, Tianzhong, and Ershui townships. Each trail offers unique natural landscapes and cultural features, making them suitable for family outings. Participants who complete all eight trails will also receive two chances in a lottery for prizes including a 65-inch LCD television, iPads, and Garmin sports watches.
