HIKING IN MIAOLI

RAKNUS SELU DAY 10 (樟之細路D10)

Day 10 on the Raknus Selu Trail takes you from quaint Xindian Old Street to Chukuangken: the site of the world's second oldest oil field.

HUOYAN SHAN (火炎山)

Fire Mountain's flame-red slopes are an instantly recognisable landmark for motorists driving between Taichung and Miaoli. This formerly restricted nature reserve is home to a Minor 100 Peak, and has some of the most unique terrain that you're likely to find in Taiwan.

This week’s post covers Fulongshan Trail, a short and sweet walk in New Taipei’s Wugu District, which (in a couple of weeks’ time) should be looking pretty in pink. 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.

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.
