RAKNUS SELU TRAIL B ROUTE – LONGTAN LAKE to SANKENG OLD STREET (樟之細路B線:龍潭大池/三坑老幾)

November 9, 2024December 11, 2024 / taiwantrailsandtales / Leave a comment

The Raknus Selu Trail's B route kicks off with a gentle wander around Longtan Lake. In fact, water is a running theme through this day's walking. There's a lake, streams, and the fast-flowing torrent of Shimen Big Canal.

Day 12 on this version of the route starts off at Ginger Garden, climbs up to Guandao Mountain via a lovely historic trail before following a winding road above Liyutan Reservoir on its way back to join Provincial Highway 3.

This post details one of two options for day 11 on the Raknus Selu Trail. It takes walkers on some lovely trails through the hills of Dahu Township and ends at the touristy Ginger Garden.

This post and the previous post detail the easier of the two options. This version of day 12 is both short and easy.

There are two possible routes for days 11 and 12 on the Raknus Selu Trail. This post and the next post detail the easier of the two options. At 18.5km, this is a pretty long day, but an easy one.

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.
