TAOYUAN CHALLENGING HIKES

MOUNT NAJIE (那結山)

/ taiwantrailsandtales / Leave a comment

The trail to Mount Najie offers some fun scrambling up through the tall forests of Taoyuan's Fuxing District. If you're looking for somewhere to escape the crowds, then this is the peak for you.

DATIELIAO OLD TRAIL to BAISHI SHAN and JINMIAN SHAN (打鐵寮古道/白石山/十三分山/金面山)

/ taiwantrailsandtales

This varied walk follows a beautiful reclaimed historic trail alongside a stream and then climbs to a ridge line with views over Taoyuan City as well as some of the county's more remote villages.

FUXING JIAN SHAN (復興尖山)

This trail in Taoyuan’s Fuxing District boasts dramatic mountainscapes, wonderful old forest scenery, some seriously tiring walking and just a touch of adrenalin-stoking danger.

Whether in glorious sun or gloom, I will never tire of the scenery found in New Taipei’s Ruifang District.  This newest post on the site details a walk we did there in murky conditions earlier in the year, which was beautiful despite the weather’s best efforts to make it not so. A crested goshawk caught in this morning’s downpour. When the stonemason’s skill set doesn’t do you justice…

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.

After a decade of running Taiwan Trails and Tales, I’ve come to the conclusion that it is time to make some changes. From now on, the trail details on some new guides (maps, transport and difficulty info) will be made available to members only. Don’t worry, though: all 500+ existing guides will stay completely free, as will the stories and photos on every new post.
