JIANTAN HIKING TRAIL TO WENDE (劍潭山親山往文德)

/ taiwantrailsandtales / Leave a comment

img_7053 Sandwiched between the busy Zhongshan district and the more northern Shilin district rises a green ridge stretching from near Jiantan station in the west to Neihu in the east. A big network of trails of varying difficulties crisscrosses this area and offers the city explorer plenty of opportunities for fun.

This dreamy bamboo scenery is what awaits on the trail leading to Jiji Big Mountain (集集大山). Bridges, historic trails, streams, waterfalls, temples, paddling, coffee, cats and cake. I am a happy girl today. After a pleasant sojourn abroad, I’m back in Taiwan and here are some photos from the latest post on the site. The walk featured here is short and easy enough that my mother-in-law was able to complete it with us, and it also features a rather lovely historic temple in Taouyuan’s Daxi District.

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.
