First and foremost, let me tell you that this route to WeiLiaoShan North Peak – 尾寮山北峰 is one that I created myself. You won’t find this hike anywhere else…probably. So take that as a warning. Having said that, it was a damn fun hike! And it had a little...
If you’re visiting Duona Village – 多納, Duona Suspension Bridge – 多納高吊橋, or just looking for a quick hike with great views, then head on up to DeDeShan – 德德山 in Maolin District – 茂林區. A quick hike like this isn’t my usual type of thing. I’ll sometimes bundle...
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...
Behind the village of Duona 多納, which is located at the end of road 132 in Maolin District 茂林區, is a peak hiding a secret: an abandoned fire watchtower. Ok, it’s not much of a secret really. But it’s something you can’t see from below. Unless you’re satisfied with...
RiTangZhenShan 日湯真山 is a peak near southern Taiwan’s famous BeiDaWuShan 北大武山. The hike to RiTangZhenShan begins at the same trail head for BeiDaWuShan but splits after about a 1.2 kilometers. I knew this would be a relatively easy hike, so I tasked myself with trying to reach the next peak,...
In the past three months I’ve hiked only once because of the rainy season. The rain finally calmed down a bit last week. I couldn’t wait any longer. I had to get out there to hike again! But I knew I needed to get a couple easier hikes under...
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...
This has to be one of the coolest places I’ve ever stumbled upon. With over 65 structures to explore, walkways and stairs throughout, and a back trail to a river, this abandoned village is something special to experience. Ok, now that I got my tour guide spiel out of...
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...
Last week I had planned to climb ZuMuShan 足母山, but quickly realized I had brought far too much in my pack to make the climb in a reasonable amount of time. That and it was REALLY hot. About 30 min into the climb I turned around and headed towards...
