QIXING SHAN NIGHT HIKE (七星山夜爬)

June 24, 2022May 16, 2025 / taiwantrailsandtales / Leave a comment

Qixing Shan attracts walkers year-round for its expansive views, bamboo-lined paths and volcanic geology. As Taipei's highest mountain, it is a must-climb for the city's population of avid hikers, but how many of them can say they have climbed it in the dark?

An exciting hike through the uplands of Yangmingshan National Park with the promise of a hotspring soak for your feet at the end.

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.
