This short loop on the outskirts of Changhua City can be walked on its own or paired up with the western loop for a slightly longer adventure.

Spreading out from the central hub of Sanqing Temple are several trails known collectively as either Taoyuanli Forest Trail, or Sanqing Temple Forest Trail depending on where you look. This post covers the western side of Sanqing Forest Trail.

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. The ridgeline behind New Taipei’s Zhonghe District is crisscrossed with a network of trails where you can find all kinds of small shrines, statues and other interesting sights.  One that I’d been interested in exploring for a while was the one that started from Yuantong Temple. I’d been drawn to it by the “thread of sky” feature — a path that cuts straight through a narrow gap between rocks, but as the pictures attest, it also held plenty more interesting details to make the trip worth my while.

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.
