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.

LONGYIN WATERFALL and SUSPENSION BRIDGE (龍吟瀑布/龍吟吊橋)

November 25, 2023December 11, 2024 / taiwantrailsandtales / 2 Comments

Fuyuan National Forest Recreation Area—also known as Butterfly Valley—is a quiet tourist spot in Hualien. Visitors can enjoy the fresh air, take in the impressive river valley, walk the (almost too) exhilarating suspension bridge, and soak in the hot spring's restorative waters.

JIU LIAO CREEK TRAIL TO GABA WATERFALL (九寮溪步道/戈霸瀑布)

March 2, 2019October 21, 2023 / taiwantrailsandtales / 5 Comments

A gentle trail following Jiu Liao Creek up towards the 30m high Gaba falls. The path is dotted with information boards explaining various aspects of Atayal life and several interesting bridges carry you over the water.

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.

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.
