It has taken me a while to get around to writing about this hike. It’s not that QiLuZhiKeShan – 耆路知可山 was particularly difficult, but because I attempted it three times. Writing about it feels like I’m going back for a fourth try! Wouldn’t you feel the same way? Ok,...
After last hike’s battle with what I thought were shin splints, I decided I needed some rest. But two weeks of rest was all I could take; I was itching to get back out in the mountains. I didn’t know for a fact that I had shin splints–they’re new...
WeiLiaoShan 尾寮山 is a popular hike in southern Taiwan. It’s listed as one of the “Top 100 Lower Mountains” (小百岳). Expect a fair amount of hikers if you’re planning a weekend hike. The WeiliaoShan peak is located on the border of Kaohsiung and Pingtung counties. The first half of...
September was a month of backup plans and failed hikes for me it seems. First I couldn’t make it to MuDanLuShan 牡丹路山 and went to ShiMenShan 虱母山 instead. Then the following week I had a problem with my hike to QiLuZhiKeShan 耆路知可山 and decided to turn back. Last week...

XinZhiShan 新置山 is a small mountain that sits directly behind Laiyi 來義 village in Pingtung. I’ve driven by it countless times and have always wanted to hike to its modest 619 meter peak. The end of last January, I decided to give it a try. In my mind, XinZhiShan...
BeiHuLuShan is a nice hike for anyone looking to do something that isn’t too easy but not too hard. There are ropes, ribbon markers, and a trail that is easy to follow. Located in Chunri Township 春日鄉 in Pingtung 屏東, BeiHuLuShan is the north peak of the mountain I hiked...
A couple weeks ago I decided to try hiking to NanHuLuShan 南湖呂山 again after a failed attempt several months back. I was prepared for a tough hike of hacking and slashing, but as it turns out it was the exact opposite. With me I brought two machetes–one for the...
