taiwan hot spring hikes

WULAI SHAN TO DATONG SHAN (烏來山 / 大桶山)

July 15, 2018October 2, 2023 / taiwantrailsandtales / Leave a comment

This challenging, but exceedingly fun route leads you from one of northern Taiwan's most scenic hot spring villages up some steep scrambles with great views over the valley. Remember to bring a towel and you can treat your tired feet to a soak in Wulai's mineral-rich waters at the end of the hike.

Seen in a smallish temple Chishang: a bouquet of rice in place of the usual lilies. Good evening Taipei. This year’s silvergrass season has definitely arrived. These photos were taken at Sanjiaopu Peak (三角埔頂山), a popular New Taipei spot for silvergrass photography, and this week, I’ve also seen photos showing Mount Qixing’s Lengshuikeng Trail, Qingtiangang, and Mount Bangping all covered in the fluffy plumes.

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.
