I have been putting off hiking to LaiYiShan & ZhenYaSheShan – 來義山 & 真雅社山 for quite some time. Somehow I had it in my mind that they would be super easy and leave me with a lot of extra time on my hands. Boy was I wrong! Yes, one...
This was a two-part hike that I have dubbed my “Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde” hike. One part yielded enjoyment and views a plenty, while the other…*shudders* yielded pain, misery, and no views to speak of. The choice is clear of which path to choose, but maybe you’re like...
Continuing with the theme of ‘easy hikes’ due to my knee injury, I chose to make an attempt to hike to an abandoned Paiwan village named Tjakuvukuvulj. While there, my secondary plan was to hike to NeiWenShan – 內文山, a nearby mountain peak that doesn’t appear on any newer...
ZhuoDiLuoLiuShan – 著地螺留山 is a mountain people will usually hike together with ShiKeJianShan – 石可見山 if they have the extra time and energy. But it can make an excellent day hike if you want to do something more relaxing without worrying about the time. It offers nice views of...

This is the first in a series of 60 seconds videos I plan to make of the more popular routes I hike. I chose JinShiuYing Historic Trail because it’s a relatively easy hike that covers a lot of ground and offers up lots of interesting sights, such as plants,...

On a clear day standing in Kaohsiung city you might notice a volcano-shaped mountain peak in the distance. That’s DaMuMuShan – 大母母山. It has been on my list of peaks to climb for a while now, and I finally got around to it. You can see DaMuMuShan in the...
With my leg giving me some problems the last hike, I wanted to try something easier this time; a trail with either little elevation gain or a gradual gain over a long distance. This led me to FanLiShan – 蕃里山. FanLiShan was previously off limits; though it seems that...
