ST. MARIAN’S HIKING TRAIL (聖母山步道)

January 28, 2017May 8, 2022 / taiwantrailsandtales / 2 Comments

St. Marian's Hiking Trail, also known more recently as Matcha Mountain is a well known trail in Yilan's Jiaoxi District. It's a big climb with views that are guaranteed to make you glad you made the effort.

Close to the remains of Gongziliao Fort, walkers can find the summit of Mount Gongziliao, an easy one Xiao Bai Yue. At only 162 metres above sea level, it’s not one of Taiwan’s most magnificent peaks, but if you include a trip to see the first, this is a great half-day outing.
