【Reach Hehuanshan by public bus】Firstly, there is no direct bus line to Hehuanshan; therefore, all passengers starting their trip from Taipei, Taichung, or Kaohsiung have to transfer to a public bus going to Qingjing Farm at Puli Station (operated by Nantou Bus Company); afterward, take the bus that runs between Qingjing Farm and Hehuanshan. Besides, passengers traveling on the bus from Hualien, the county on the east coast of Taiwan, the bus route ends at DaYuLing. There’s no bus running between DaYuLing and Song Syue Lodge.【Taichung – Qingjing Farm Seamless Shuttle between Taichung Gancheng Station or THSR Taichung Station and Hehuanshan】In Taichung, travelers can find the shortest path to Hehuanshan – the bus ride takes about 2.5 to 3 hours. Nantou Bus Company provides a seamless shuttle service. At Taichung Gancheng Station (near Taichung Railway Station (TRA), a 10-minute walking distance) or Exit 5 of Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR) Taichung Station, travelers can claim the transit pass (a queue number) for the seamless shuttle that runs from Taichung to Qingjing Farm. By taking the seamless shuttle bus, travelers can take the same bus on the routes from Taichung to Puli and from Puli to Qingjing Farm. Passengers on the seamless shuttle bus don’t need to transfer to another bus at Puli. Once getting off at Qingjing, travelers transfer to bus 6658A going to Hehuanshan. (It’s suggested to make a reservation in advance.)【Bus 6658A is the only bus going to Hehuanshan】Bus 6658A is the only bus going to WuLing, Song Syue Lodge, and Xiao Feng Ko of Hehuanshan. Due to the limited availability of seats on the three round trips per day, online reservations or telephone reservations should be made before the date of travel. Online reservation is available earlier than 4 to 7 days before the date of travel while telephone reservation is available earlier than 1 day (before noon) to 7 days ahead. For online reservations to Hehuanshan, the options of the pick-up point are “Bus Stop” and “QingJing Guest House,” and the options of the drop-off point are “WuLing,” “Song Syue Lodge,” and “Xiao Feng Ko.” Passengers who plan to get on/off the bus at any stops in the middle of the route can’t make an online reservation. No fee will be charged when making an online reservation, passengers pay the bus fare by EasyCard upon getting on the bus; one-way fare is NTD95. Besides, if you plan a one-day trip, you may buy a one-day pass priced NTD160 from the bus driver for unlimited trips on the day of purchase – it offers the best value. Passengers are reminded to make reservations for their return trip as well.

When we go to Ching Jing, we hire a taxi for day trip, I am no ideas the start point/end point. I am sorry cannot give advance to you.
