The walkway is part of the 'Linli Trail' system, which was renovated to improve ecological observation opportunities.
It is specifically designed to provide a vantage point for observing the diverse bird species found within the Guanyinshan forest.
The structure avoids the need for heavy foundations that would disrupt the local root systems of native trees.
The Treetop Walkway is an elevated pedestrian trail located within the Guanyinshan National Scenic Area in New Taipei City. It features a steel-framed structure that rises above the forest floor, allowing visitors to view the canopy at eye level. The path spans a segment of the forest terrain, providing views of the surrounding hilly topography and the Danshui River estuary. The walkway is integrated into the larger network of hiking trails that traverse the Guanyinshan mountain range. Its design focuses on environmental conservation by minimizing direct contact with the forest floor.
The highest elevated section of the walkway, offering a clear line of sight toward the tree canopy and the distant river estuary.

Bring binoculars for better bird-watching opportunities along the canopy.
Check the local weather forecast specifically for Guanyinshan, as mountain conditions can differ from the Taipei basin.
Avoid visiting during or immediately after heavy rainfall, as the trails can become slippery and visibility may be poor.
The walkway is subject to temporary closure during extreme weather conditions such as typhoons or heavy monsoon rainfall.
Stay on the designated path to protect the ecosystem; noise should be kept at a minimum to avoid disturbing wildlife.
