本山地質公園 英文

JINGUASHI to BENSHAN GEOLOGICAL PARK LOOP (金瓜石/本山地質公園O型)

The area around Jiufen and Jinguashi is absolutely riddled with hiking trails — many of which can be found on this site. This latest addition to the collection details an easy-to-moderate walk that takes in some sites of historical and geological interest.

This is one of the weirder natural creations I’ve come across during my Taiwan trail adventures. I spotted it clinging to the underside of a screw pine leaf on Green Island’s Cross-Island Trail. It was maybe 3 centimetres in length and cotton-candy-like in texture but with a fine outer layer of pink threads. The internet seems to think it is a spider’s egg sac, specifically, some type of twig spider (weirdly wonderfully creatures). Seen in a smallish temple Chishang: a bouquet of rice in place of the usual lilies. Good evening Taipei.

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.
