Day 13 on the Raknus Selu Trail is a gentle day spent following mostly rural roads between the Hakka town of Zhuolan and the Tayal village of Shuangqi.

Day seven on the Raknus Selu Trail links the temple complex at Miaoli's Lion's Head Mountain with the sleepy town of Sanwan.

RAKNUS SELU TRAIL DAY 6 (樟之細路D6)

December 9, 2023June 27, 2025 / taiwantrailsandtales / Leave a comment

Day 6 on the Raknus Selu was a special one. Leaving Beipu behind, the trail climbs towards the border with Miaoli, passing numerous temples along the way. For me, the highlight of this day was watching the sunset from the courtyard in front of Quanhua Temple.

Seen in a smallish temple Chishang: a bouquet of rice in place of the usual lilies. Good evening Taipei. This year’s silvergrass season has definitely arrived. These photos were taken at Sanjiaopu Peak (三角埔頂山), a popular New Taipei spot for silvergrass photography, and this week, I’ve also seen photos showing Mount Qixing’s Lengshuikeng Trail, Qingtiangang, and Mount Bangping all covered in the fluffy plumes.

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.
