獨立山國家步道

September 27, 2025March 3, 2026 / taiwantrailsandtales / Leave a comment

獨立山國家步道從樟腦寮車站一路攀升至獨立山車站,途中多次與阿里山林業鐵路交會,還可以繞道前往一座寺廟裡的大型登山客廚房。

觀音山步道

觀音山從新北市八里和五股區的淡水河岸拔地而起。它的綽號是硬漢嶺,因為攀爬此山以前被用作軍警人員的強化訓練活動,對於不熟悉台灣陡峭階梯的人來說,很容易理解原因。

Tung season is currently bringing its white, green and blue colour palette to the hills of northern Taiwan. These photos are from Daqiong Trail in Taoyuan — a popular spot with blossom chasers. Although I’m dreading the return of summer temperatures and mosquitoes, this time of year is one I look forward to — it brings fireflies and tung blossom. I haven't been out on any firefly-watching expeditions yet, but in anticipation of the season, I've just added a new trail guide to the Taiwan Trails and Tales site. It covers a popular firefly viewing spot that I visited last year. Some 16x9 aspect ratio shots from a short stroll up to Pingjing Street this afternoon, where the second wave of cherry blossoms are very much still in bloom.

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.
