Paoma Historic Trail is located in Jiaoxi, a hot spring town in Yilan, which is the last section of Danlan Historic Trail South Road. It was previously an important route connecting Taipei and Jiaoxi and facilitated commerce and the transportation of materials.

The ancient trail is wide, gentle and easy to trek, with only the stone steps on the Shipai section steeper and a little more challenging. Most of the route is a gravel path, and it ends at Shipai County Boundary Park, which is the highest point on Beiyi Highway. In addition to the eye-catching golden Daguan stone monument, visitors can climb up to the unique wooden viewing platform for a bird's-eye view of Jiaoxi town and the Lanyang Plain. When the weather is good it is possible to make out Guishan Island in the distance and after trekking hikers often choose to visit the hot spring town of Jiaoxi.
