HSINCHU EASY HIKES

FEIFENG SHAN, ZHONGKENG SHAN and SHIBITAN SHAN LOOP (飛鳳山/中坑山/石壁潭山O型)

October 8, 2021November 16, 2024 / taiwantrailsandtales / 3 Comments

This fun, half-day trail in Hsinchu County will take you to one of Taiwan's Minor 100 Peaks. There are a few scenic views along the way and you can even have the odd experience of seeing Taipei 101 from a different county.

18 PEAKS MOUNTAIN PARK (十八尖山公園)

August 14, 2020May 31, 2025 / taiwantrailsandtales / Leave a comment

18 Peaks Mountain Park is one of Hsinchu's most easily accessible outdoor leisure spots. Not only does it draw outdoor fans in search of a scenic place for a stroll (or a jog), but its layered past means it also has much to attract history buffs.

FENG QI SUNSET TRAIL (鳳崎落日步道)

November 27, 2017October 4, 2023 / taiwantrailsandtales / Leave a comment

An easy and leisurely afternoon walk taking in military relics. Bring your significant other and aim to finish the walk around sundown so that you can watch the sunset together as you gaze out over the Taiwan Strait.

QILONG HISTORIC TRAIL (騎龍古道)

Road walking with a view in Hsinchu County.

LUBI MOUNTAIN THERE-AND-BACK (魯壁山)

This climb is a great way to stretch your legs after getting carsick on all those windy mountain roads.

Some 16x9 aspect ratio shots from a short stroll up to Pingjing Street this afternoon, where the second wave of cherry blossoms are very much still in bloom. Taiwan barbets (五色鳥) announcing the end of winter. Breaking news: Allosaurus* spotted on the loose somewhere in the mountains around Taoyuan.

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.
