Happy faces all round. I love hiking in Ruifang District. On this occasion, we didn't end up where we had intended because the trail hadn't been walked in too long and had become overgrown to the point of being invisible, but there was still lots of interesting scenery. A shit detective story

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.
