Ruifang to Shuangxi forms part of the northern road of the Tamsui-Kavalan Trails. It passes through several rural communities and is a relatively easy route, since much of it follows established roads. It also passes the famous Jinzibei steele.

XIU QI SHAN TRAIL (秀崎山登山步道)

November 1, 2018February 20, 2022 / taiwantrailsandtales / 3 Comments

A short and easy meander over some of the less frequented hills of the northeastern coast. Given how convenient the trains are, this would make a good place to come for a quick half-day adventure out of Taipei.

STEGOSAURUS RIDGE (劍龍稜/茶壺山)

March 6, 2017February 21, 2022 / taiwantrailsandtales / 5 Comments

August 15, 2016February 21, 2022 / taiwantrailsandtales / Leave a comment
