EASY WALK NEAR JIUFEN

KEELUNG MOUNTAIN NIGHT HIKE (基隆山夜爬)

/ taiwantrailsandtales / Leave a comment

Keelung Mountain offers great views at either end of the day, and who doesn’t want to see the sight of Jiufen snuggled into the hills as it beds down for the day?

JINGUASHI AQUEDUCT TRAIL (山尖路步道)

/ taiwantrailsandtales / 2 Comments

This short trail linking the two popular tourist villages of Jiufen and Jinguashi takes you past aqueducts that were used during the area's industrial past. It's a great way to stretch your legs after sampling the edible delights of Jiufen Old Street.

Whether in glorious sun or gloom, I will never tire of the scenery found in New Taipei’s Ruifang District.  This newest post on the site details a walk we did there in murky conditions earlier in the year, which was beautiful despite the weather’s best efforts to make it not so. A crested goshawk caught in this morning’s downpour. When the stonemason’s skill set doesn’t do you justice…

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.

After a decade of running Taiwan Trails and Tales, I’ve come to the conclusion that it is time to make some changes. From now on, the trail details on some new guides (maps, transport and difficulty info) will be made available to members only. Don’t worry, though: all 500+ existing guides will stay completely free, as will the stories and photos on every new post.
