YOULUO MOUNTAIN (油羅山O型)

Located in Hsinchu’s mountainous Wufeng District, Youluo Mountain Trail is a wonderfully compact day hike. With its mist-cloaked paths and tall, quiet trees, it’s a complete escape from the city.

Yesterday's night hike turned out to be rather fruitful. We spotted two greater green snakes, two mock vipers, a bamboo pit viper, and a red-banded snake — six snakes in total. A tip for aspiring snake spotters: look up. Five of the six were in trees, two of them much higher than I'd have expected. Big thanks to Kristel from Rewild Taiwan for showing us where to look. It took me nearby a decade, but I’ve finally gotten around to walking and writing up my final Guguan Hero, Mount Baimao. I guess it’s time to go back and revisit some of the earlier ones now… We had no bananas to hand, so went with the tried and tested finger-for-scale approach.

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.
