爬基隆山是九份旅遊體驗中不可或缺的一部分。大多數遊客在品嚐小鎮各式美食之餘,會挑戰那考驗大腿肌力、讓人氣喘吁吁的階梯步道。但較少人知道的是,還有一條秘密後山路線可以通往山頂,途中會經歷一系列刺激的攀岩路段。

KEELUNG MOUNTAIN EAST PEAK (基隆山東峰)

December 13, 2025October 14, 2025 / taiwantrailsandtales / 2 Comments

Climbing Mount Keelung is part and parcel of the Jiufen experience. Most visitors take a break from sampling the town’s many and varied treats to climb the thigh-testing, lung-burning steps. Far fewer people know that there is a secret back-route that reaches the summit via a series of thrilling scrambles.

Taiwan barbets (五色鳥) announcing the end of winter. Breaking news: Allosaurus* spotted on the loose somewhere in the mountains around Taoyuan. This week’s post details a short walk encircling Qingquan Tribal Village in Hsinchu’s Wufeng Township. Along the way, it takes in hot springs, historic figures, and a little peak into life in an Indigenous village.

Note: Taiwan Trails and Tales has been going for over eight years now, so there are a fair few dead links and bits of information that need updating on the site. If you find one, I would greatly appreciate it if you let me know either by commenting on that post or by dropping me a line in the contact form (on the "About" page) so that I can remove or update it.
