The first 13 kilometers of the old Japanese trail, which follows the winding path of the Lakulaku River, are open to ordinary travelers, and we passed many vacationing hikers along the way, exchanging traditional New Year greetings. The waterfalls and fern plants along the way were reminiscent of Jurassic Park. Once you pass Walami Cabin, you enter the ecological conservation zone.
沿著拉庫拉庫溪蜿蜒而上的日據古道，前段 13 公里開放給一般遊客，春節假期中登山客絡繹於途，碰面互道新年好，沿途飛瀑流泉，蕨類遍佈，宛如侏儸紀公園；過瓦拉米山屋後就是生態保護區，人煙稀少，咬人貓和螞蝗三不五時讓人繃緊神經，葉片落盡的山胡桃枯枝佇立雲霧中，為漫長山路增添幾許詩意。
