TAMSUI-KAVALAN TRAILS: FULONG to DALI (淡蘭古道北路:福隆/大里)

/ taiwantrailsandtales / 2 Comments

This stretch of the northern Tamsui-Kavalan Trails connects the relaxed beach town of Fulong with the fishing villages of Shicheng and Dali. On the way it takes you past the old Caoling Tunnel, and perhaps even follows the route taken by Wusha - the immigrant credited with being ‘the pioneer of Yilan’.

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.
