While exploring Google Earth I found what appeared to be an old road network that split off the Shaxi Forest Road (沙溪林道), which is located in Pingtung county, Taiwan. It appeared to be an old farmer road that possibly wound its way down the mountain, crossed a stream, then...
This was originally going to be a combo post of two hikes I did a couple weeks apart. But I realized halfway through writing this that it would be quite a long post; so now they get their own posts! The original plan had been to hike to BaiBinShan,...
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...
ShiMenShan (Also known as ShiMuShan – 虱母山 or 蝨母山) is located in Mudan township 牡丹鄉 in Pingtung County. Despite only being 384 meters in height and taking about one hour to hike, I highly recommend you consider this interesting little peak. Other Peaks I’ll admit, ShiMenShan wasn’t on the...
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)....
At the top of a massive landslide you’ll find DaWuCang 大武藏山. It’s not a particularly popular peak by any means; there isn’t even a marker for it. Most people just pass it on their way to other prominent peaks. But last week I made it my main objective. DaWuCang...
