TEMPLE IN A CAVE

MOUNT DAGANG and PANLONG CANYON (大崗山/盤龍峽谷/天靈洞)

/ taiwantrailsandtales / 2 Comments

This easy trail in Kaosiung's Alian District is full of interesting details. There's a twisty slot canyon, a temple in a cave, and one of Taiwan's 100 Minor Peaks.

TAIPEI SKYLINE TRAIL SECTION 4 (Short Version)

/ taiwantrailsandtales / 2 Comments

The highlight of this section of the Taipei Skyline Trail is unquestionably the exceedingly cool temple cave close to Mount Hongdan. That aside, it involves some pleasant wandering over less-travelled paths, and passes plenty of historic spots.

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.
