After stumbling upon the abandoned Paiwan village Vuri’ilj last week, I decided to look for another abandoned village to visit. My search led me to Kulalangau (sometimes written as Kulalangaw) in Chunri – 春日. It’s located very near BeiHuLuShan 北湖呂山. In fact, there are two alternate trail heads you...
I bought a new camera a couple weeks ago and have been anxious to try it out in the mountains. With the recent plum rains, only the mountains to the south of Kaohsiung looked to be a safe bet. WuLiYi Northeast Peak – 霧里乙山東北峰 (1026m) was low on my...
After a failed attempt that resulted in me being violently pulled down by a snare, motorcycle on top of me for about 40 minutes, I felt it was time to head back to HuYaYuShan 戶亞宇山 for one more try. HuYaYuShan is located in Laiyi 來義 between and Neihe (佳興 & 內社)....
I usually don’t post about hikes that were unsuccessful. But I thought this odd little peak was worth a mention; especially since I doubt I will try it again any time soon. QiJiaXiaShan 七佳溪山 is located far up the Lili River 力力溪河 in Chunri Township. At an elevation of 470 meters,...
Dayuan mountain 大原山 is a small peak located just east of Liugui 六龜. It’s fairly easy to get to and ideal for a half day hike or a full day ride and hike. I had been cooped up in my house for the past month because of all the...

Have you ever decided to do something and thought “Yeah, it should be ok.” And at some point while doing it you realize you made a bad decision? Well, today was that day… I had put new valves in my motorcycle and really wanted to go the mountains to...
I contemplated not posting about this tiny peak. But figured it IS a peak, and has a nice view. So here goes… I had just installed new suspension valves on my motorcycle and was itching to try them out, so I headed out to the mountains to see what...
Day 06 This was my last day before bike trouble… It started out decent enough. Waking up in a motel room, albeit there wasn’t a bed, and the blanket was way too short – but I’m not complaining. Sure as heck beats a tent. The place only had an...
Day 05 I woke up on the Dawu riverbed and made my way over the mountains to the next river. The road over was in decent shape most of the way, so it didn’t take long to make it over. And then made it to the river… There was...
