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. Cherry blossom under blue skies in New Taipei’s Xizhi District.

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.
