PINGLIN HIKING

MOUNT KAIYANLUN and TEA TERRACE TRAIL (開眼崙山/茶園步道)

January 14, 2023May 24, 2025 / taiwantrailsandtales / 2 Comments

This short loop in New Taipei's Pinglin District offers a lot of beauty for not much leg work. After a steep (but short) climb to the peak, you are then treated to stunning views of Pinglin's neat tea plantations as you make your way slowly back to the start.

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.
