ZhenLiShan 真笠山 and its Northeast peak 真笠山東北峰 are hikes suitable for most anyone. If you’re game, you can rather easily add two other nearby peaks, LiDingShan & ZhenLiShan Southwest Peak (笠頂山 & 真笠山西南峰) to your hike. Since I have already hiked to those two peaks, I skipped them to...
On my last hike past RiTangZhenShan 日湯真山 I saw a sign that read 舊萬安部落 or “Old Wan’an Tribe” in English. I later researched the tribe and its location and found that I’ve driven very near it a couple times a few years ago. I decided to visit the old...
RiTangZhenShan 日湯真山 is a peak near southern Taiwan’s famous BeiDaWuShan 北大武山. The hike to RiTangZhenShan begins at the same trail head for BeiDaWuShan but splits after about a 1.2 kilometers. I knew this would be a relatively easy hike, so I tasked myself with trying to reach the next peak,...
This post is difficult for me to write. I’m trying to find the words to make the hike to PenMaoLiShan & PenMaoLiShan South Peak – 盆貿里山 & 盆貿里山南峰 sound at least somewhat interesting, but I can’t. It was not fun. Not in the least. It has no redeeming qualities...
September was a month of backup plans and failed hikes for me. First, I couldn’t make it to MuDanLuShan 牡丹路山 and went to ShiMenShan 虱母山 instead. Then the following week I had a problem with my hike to QiLuZhiKeShan 耆路知可山 and decided to turn back. Last week I planned...
ShiMenShan (Also known as ShiMuShan – 虱母山 or 蝨母山) is located in Mudan township 牡丹鄉 in Pingtung County. Despite only being 384 meters in height and taking about one hour to hike, I highly recommend you consider this interesting little peak. Other Peaks I’ll admit, ShiMenShan wasn’t on the...
CaoBuHouShan and BaShiMoShan are two peaks that were low on my list to hike in Taiwan. But with the high chance of rain forecasted for most everywhere down south that day, this area in Shihzih with a low chance of rain offered me the only chance to stay dry....
In the past three months I’ve hiked only once because of the rainy season. The rain finally calmed down a bit last week. I couldn’t wait any longer. I had to get out there to hike again! But I knew I needed to get a couple easier hikes under...
Continuing on my run of exploring abandoned aboriginal villages, I set out to find the Paiwan village named Tanasiu – 丹林舊社. What I couldn’t have known was that it would be easily reachable and leave me with time on my hands. With that, my curiosity took me on quite...
Tjuqemadris is an abandoned aboriginal village located in south Taiwan in Shizi Township – 獅子鄉. Villagers there were forced to move to NanShi Lake – 南勢湖 in 1942, along with neighboring villages Tjuzanqau, Tjaljaviya, and Maljuqau. NanShi lake is roughly 62 kilometers away as the crow flies. It distance...
