Welcome to a Little Pavilion here at the parking lot near the trailhead for Thousand-Person Cave!
It's always nice to see a little makeshift parking lot here in the mountains pretty close to the trailhead, right? But before you begin the hike of all hikes, why not walk on over to that pavilion and casually tie your shoe near the corner to make the grab? (See spoiler photo for more details.)
Info About Road Condition (from Shih Gu Pan Villa (石鼓盤山莊) to Trailhead Parking Lot for Thousand-Person Cave)
Please note: The road (beginning at Waypoint 1) to the parking lot is a very narrow road that is only wide enough for one car and has very few spots to allow enough room for another vehicle to pass, so please drive this route very carefully. If you meet oncoming traffic, pulling off to the side is very difficult to virtually impossible as there is way too much plant overgrowth on either side to allow for safe parking so please note that you may have to back up to a wider area somewhere along the road to allow for oncoming traffic to pass. With that said, this route is usually not busy so it is unlikely you will run into any oncoming traffic but still be prepared. Please park your vehicles at the parking lot referenced in Waypoint 4.
