easy hike in Taiwan

GUANDAO MOUNTAIN (關刀山)

December 30, 2023December 26, 2024 / taiwantrailsandtales / Leave a comment

Guandao Mountain is located in Miaoli's Dahu Township and is number 36 of Taiwan's 100 Minor Peaks. The walk is exceptionally pleasant and offers hikers a shady forest trail with occasional views and the chance to sample the region's famous ginger tea.

QINZI PEAK TRAIL (親子峰步道)

December 27, 2023December 11, 2024 / taiwantrailsandtales / Leave a comment

This easy walk in Dongyanshan National Forest Recreation Area takes you through some lovely forest scenery, and the location is perfect for indulging in a spot of bird or wildlife watching.

SANDIAOLING TUNNEL BIKEWAY

September 16, 2023March 26, 2025 / taiwantrailsandtales / 4 Comments

Since it reopened in 2022, Sandiaoling Tunnel has become a top spot for people wanting a short half-day adventure from Taipei.

RENHE TUNG BLOSSOM TRAIL (仁和步道)

May 6, 2023December 2, 2024 / taiwantrailsandtales / Leave a comment

This short trail in Hsinchu is a good place to do a spot of tung blossom viewing. What makes it even more appealing is that the walk starts and finishes at sleepy Hukou Old Street, where you can enjoy a few Hakka dishes and/or a cup of coffee.

LINSHAN CAPE BOARDWALK (麟山鼻木棧道)

April 29, 2023December 2, 2024 / taiwantrailsandtales / Leave a comment

This gentle boardwalk trail on Taiwan's north coast is short and flat enough for strollers and wheelchair users.

Happy faces all round. I love hiking in Ruifang District. On this occasion, we didn't end up where we had intended because the trail hadn't been walked in too long and had become overgrown to the point of being invisible, but there was still lots of interesting scenery. A shit detective story

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.
