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.

Seen in a smallish temple Chishang: a bouquet of rice in place of the usual lilies. 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.

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.
