Shattered by the torrential storm brought by Typhoon Soulik on July 13th, 2013, many sections of the road leading to the Sheijian Retreat Area of Sheipa National Park were ruined by collapsing terrain. After careful investigation of the road by the Sheipa National Park Administration, the “Reconstruction Plan of Simaxianlin Road” to fix damage caused by the typhoon was enacted immediately. Now the reconstruction of the road is about to be completed. After investigations of the road by related units, Simaxianlin Road will reopen to the public on December 7th, 2013, to meet the demand of people in the area.

The structure of Simaxianlin Road, a main road leading to the Sheijian Retreat Area, is fragile. The terrain around the road tends to collapse after heavy rain. Lin Qin, Chief of the Administration, advises that visitors should pay extra attention when using temporary roads and should avoid going to the mountain areas during a typhoon or torrential rain.
