SAVAGE VALLEY (野人谷)

March 21, 2026March 26, 2026 / taiwantrailsandtales / Leave a comment

This loop walk in New Taipei's pretty Pingxi District takes you through an abandoned pleasure park, past a couple of waterfalls, and past the odd landscape of Dahua's potholes.

DAGUI WATERFALL RIVER TRACE (大鬼瀑布溯溪)

September 13, 2025September 22, 2025 / taiwantrailsandtales / Leave a comment

With Taiwan's summers dragging on for a seemingly infinite length of time, there's nothing more appealing than immersing yourself in the nearest body of water and this easy river trace in New Taipei's Ruifang District is a top spot to stop off on a hot day.

ZHUKENG STREAM TRAIL (竹坑溪步道)

May 31, 2025March 13, 2025 / taiwantrailsandtales / Leave a comment

This pleasant walk in Chiayi County takes in several waterfals, including one which cascades dramatically over a rock face.

MENGHUAN FALLS (夢幻瀑布)

June 17, 2022November 16, 2024 / taiwantrailsandtales / 2 Comments

The hills rising to either side of the picturesque Pingxi Line are dotted with numerous mountain streams and waterfalls. Menghuan Waterfall is perhaps less well known than some of the others, but its secluded nature makes it a great spot to visit.

Some 16x9 aspect ratio shots from a short stroll up to Pingjing Street this afternoon, where the second wave of cherry blossoms are very much still in bloom. Taiwan barbets (五色鳥) announcing the end of winter. Breaking news: Allosaurus* spotted on the loose somewhere in the mountains around Taoyuan.

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.
