ShiKeJianShan 石可見山 is a peak located behind Laochijia Village 七佳村. I had always thought you needed permission to hike there. But a facebook friend recently completed the hike and told me permission wasn’t necessary. As you can imagine, it was immediately bumped to the top of...
WenDingShan 文丁山 is a lower peak on the way up to NanDaWuShan 南大武山. I saw it when I was at the HuYaYuShan 戶亞宇山 peak last February and really wanted to hike it. I believe most people wouldn’t make a special trip to WenDingShan. There’s really nothing...
I’ve been wanting to hike to JingBuShan 井步山 for quite some time. But, to be honest, I’ve put it off because I thought it would be too easy. Located in Wutai Township 霧台鄉, JingBuShan is a flat-topped peak that can easily be seen from as far...

(中文版請按台灣國旗) Last year’s post about getting stuck in the mountains during a thunderstorm brought to mind the time I was stuck deep in the mountains on a riverbed while it was raining. I’d like to follow up with that story, which may have been even more...
A couple weeks back I hiked BaCengBaMoShan 巴層巴墨山 and really enjoyed the area, especially the watermelon river. While researching that hike I learned of WaiMaLiBaShan 外麻里巴山. It didn’t look particularly interesting, but I thought it would give me the chance to go back and see the watermelons before they...
LiLongShan is a peak I saw when I visited BaCengBaMoShan 巴層巴墨山 the week prior. I knew nothing about it, but I had to climb it. As it turns out, it was a relatively easy hike AND it is also one of the XiaoBaiYue (小百岳) according to...
BaCengBaMoShan 巴層巴墨山 is an unassuming little peak in south Taiwan that hides a big secret during the dry season.
