A magnificent multitude of mushrooms. This spectacular colony had moved in to grow on the body of a tree that had fallen in a dry creek bed. While this week’s post isn’t visiting somewhere I hadn’t been before, it does offer a new (to me) way of experiencing it. The Qixing Mountain Three-Way (yes, I took some liberties with that translation of the Chinese name because it entertains me to do so), is the best way to ensure you see all aspects of Taipei’s tallest mountain. Another Xiao Bai Yue ticked off! This time, it’s Mount Dadong in Chiayi’s Zhuqi Township. The walk starts close to the old railway town of Fenqihu, climbing to a high of 1,976 metres before heading back down more or less the same way.

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.
