FIREFLY SPOTTING at YUANJUE WATERFALL (圓覺瀑布螢火蟲)

/ taiwantrailsandtales / 3 Comments

If you check online for the best places to see fireflies in Taipei, then one of the locations that appears in many of the lists is Dagouxi Waterfront Park. In fact, this is a little misleading since - while the walk does start there - you need to head a little further into the dark to spot any fireflies.

This dreamy bamboo scenery is what awaits on the trail leading to Jiji Big Mountain (集集大山). Bridges, historic trails, streams, waterfalls, temples, paddling, coffee, cats and cake. I am a happy girl today. After a pleasant sojourn abroad, I’m back in Taiwan and here are some photos from the latest post on the site. The walk featured here is short and easy enough that my mother-in-law was able to complete it with us, and it also features a rather lovely historic temple in Taouyuan’s Daxi District.

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.
