Taiwan Long-distance Trail

MOUNTAINS to SEA GREENWAY DAY 8 (山海圳國家級綠道D8)

July 5, 2025September 22, 2025 / taiwantrailsandtales / Leave a comment

Day eight on the MSTW was when things start to get really, properly scenic. This day completes the last couple of sections of the Tribal Trail as the route makes its way ever onwards towards the high mountains. The highlight of this day's walking is the charming and forested Tefuye Historic Trail.

Day one on the MSTW is an easy bike ride inland over ground formerly covered by Taijiang Inner Sea.

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.
