Shanzhu Ditch
山豬溝
A deep ravine split from coral reef, with old banyan roots wrapped around the cliff walls, a dense tropical rainforest feel and a narrow passage known as 'One Line Sky'.
Shanzhu Ditch lies on the west side of Xiaoliuqiu. It is a valley formed when blocks of coral reef cracked and collapsed. The ravine is shaded and damp. Banyan trees and Barringtonia plants with tangled roots cling to the cliff walls, giving it the feel of a tropical rainforest. Where the gorge narrows, it forms a 'One Line Sky' passage, and wartime air-raid shelter remains can also be seen. A wooden boardwalk covers the whole route, which takes about 20–30 minutes. The site shares a combined ticket with Beauty Cave and Wuigui Cave and is open about 08:00–17:00. Mosquitoes are common in summer, so bring insect repellent.
