It took me a while to write about this hike because the hiking portion of it wasn’t all that interesting; it was rather boring, truth be told. That’s a great opening line, huh? It really engages you, the reader – encouraging you to read on! But I cannot tell...
If you’re looking for an interesting day hike and don’t mind a bit of a drive, then give WoDanShan East Peak – 我丹山東峰 a try. By my guess it’s not particularly popular, but it holds some features that make it somewhat unique in my opinion. So let me tell...
“Three peaks to rule them all,” they said. No, they didn’t say that. I said it. Because this hike features three peaks, two of which aren’t terribly difficult to reach. One of them has a view that will make you not want to visit the other two. But you’ll...
Just north of the 9 (台9線) down south in Shihzih Township (屏東縣獅子鄉) you’ll find a couple overlooked little peaks by the names of ZhongXinLunSheShan and ZhongXingLunSheShan Southwest Peak – 中心崙社山 & 中心崙社西南山. I’ll be honest, there’s probably no reason for you to want to hike these peaks. I hiked...
If you live in southern Taiwan, chances are you’ve heard of the popular RiTangZhenShan – 日湯真山 – everyone and their grandma has been there. Heck, I’ve even taken my son. But its “little brother” RiTangZhenShan Southwest Peak – 日湯真山西南峰 on the other hand, I bet few know (or care...
A few days ago I decided to head out to BeiHuLuShan 北湖呂山 to attempt to hike it for the third time. If you know me, then you know this is odd behavior. I never hike a peak twice, no less three times, unless… A New Route! The second time...
BaCengBaMoShan 巴層巴墨山 is a somewhat popular peak with great views at the top and along the way up. I hiked it a couple years ago and I’d recommend it. While I don’t usually hike a peak twice, I made an exception for this one after finding a possible route...
On the other side of the mountains just north of Provincial Highway 24 in Sandimen Township lies a tiny little peak named DeSheShan – 德社山. Abandoned and overgrown mountainside farmland is the only thing keeping you from a nice little mountain ride and easy hike. Unfortunately, the land was...
The hike to LiAYanShan – 里阿岩山 was one of the best hikes I’ve had in a while. I enjoyed it a lot. It had most of features I like in a hike. It’s a lesser-known/hiked peak Has a long (mostly offroad) scenic drive to the trail head A “pre...
Earlier this year I decided to do something I had never done before: solo off-trail hiking. Most of the hikes I do are solo; and I’ve hiked off-trail a good deal. But I’ve never purposely set off to hike off-trail for the entire hike. This would all be new...
