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...
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 my list. Why?...
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 special about it....
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 as Kaohsiung city...
I don’t think I have a ton of visitors lurking about, but for anyone interested, I decided it was time for a fresh look. Well, sorta fresh. I enjoyed the layout of my last theme and wanted to find something similar but updated. This theme won. I also had...
For quite some time I’ve had this trail on my to-do list. But because of certain logistical issues, I’ve made it a low priority. That all changed after a message from a friend about a trip he was organizing. The JinShuiYing Historic Trail is very well known and documented...
Last year I learned about the existence of the Liugui Security Path – 六龜警備道, and I’ve been wanting to hike it ever since. At over 53 kilometers in total distance it’s said to take 6~8 days to complete. I only had two days, so my plan was to hike...
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 dangerous.
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 were gone.
