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...
ZhenLiShan 真笠山 and its Northeast peak 真笠山東北峰 are hikes suitable for most anyone. If you’re game, you can rather easily add two other nearby peaks, LiDingShan & ZhenLiShan Southwest Peak (笠頂山 & 真笠山西南峰) to your hike. Since I have already hiked to those two peaks, I skipped them to...
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...
CaoBuHouShan and BaShiMoShan are two peaks that were low on my list to hike in Taiwan. But with the high chance of rain forecasted for most everywhere down south that day, this area in Shihzih with a low chance of rain offered me the only chance to stay dry....
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...
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...
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....
