TAIWAN: HIDDEN TREASURE OF ASIA

November 4, 2020November 16, 2024 / taiwantrailsandtales / 1 Comment

After four years of calling Taiwan my home I found myself taking part in a group tour to visit some areas with special natural characteristics. This is my journal of the experience.

SANDIAOLING WATERFALL TRAIL (三貂嶺瀑布步)

February 9, 2018February 28, 2024 / taiwantrailsandtales / 4 Comments

img_8841 This trail is one of the most popular day hikes in northern Taiwan, and for good reason. You'll enjoy waterfalls, a shaded walk by a stream and a dash of adventure...and all easily accessible using public transport.

FENG QI SUNSET TRAIL (鳳崎落日步道)

November 27, 2017October 4, 2023 / taiwantrailsandtales / Leave a comment

An easy and leisurely afternoon walk taking in military relics. Bring your significant other and aim to finish the walk around sundown so that you can watch the sunset together as you gaze out over the Taiwan Strait.

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.
