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...
After stumbling upon the abandoned Paiwan village Vuri’ilj last week, I decided to look for another abandoned village to visit. My search led me to Kulalangau (sometimes written as Kulalangaw) in Chunri – 春日. It’s located very near BeiHuLuShan 北湖呂山. In fact, there are two alternate trail heads you...
I bought a new camera a couple weeks ago and have been anxious to try it out in the mountains. With the recent plum rains, only the mountains to the south of Kaohsiung looked to be a safe bet. WuLiYi Northeast Peak – 霧里乙山東北峰 (1026m) was low on my...
Last year I learned about the existence of the Liugui Security Path – 六龜警備道, and I’ve been wanting to hike it ever since. At over 53 kilometers in total distance it’s said to take 6~8 days to complete. I only had two days, so my plan was to hike...
A couple weeks back I hiked BaCengBaMoShan 巴層巴墨山 and really enjoyed the area, especially the watermelon river. While researching that hike I learned of WaiMaLiBaShan 外麻里巴山. It didn’t look particularly interesting, but I thought it would give me the chance to go back and see the watermelons before they were gone.
LiLongShan is a peak I saw when I visited BaCengBaMoShan 巴層巴墨山 the week prior. I knew nothing about it, but I had to climb it. As it turns out, it was a relatively easy hike AND it is also one of the XiaoBaiYue (小百岳) according to this list. I recommend...
Deep within the mountains on the Baolai riverbed you’ll find two popular hot springs, Qikeng and Shikeng (七坑 & 十坑). Situated roughly between the hot springs is the mountain HsiaoTienYuan – 小田原. At 1335 meters, I thought I would have plenty of time to make it to the top...
BeiHuLuShan is a nice hike for anyone looking to do something that isn’t too easy but not too hard. There are ropes, ribbon markers, and a trail that is easy to follow. Located in Chunri Township 春日鄉 in Pingtung 屏東, BeiHuLuShan is the north peak of the mountain I hiked...
This has to be one of the coolest places I’ve ever stumbled upon. With over 65 structures to explore, walkways and stairs throughout, and a back trail to a river, this abandoned village is something special to experience. Ok, now that I got my tour guide spiel out of...
MengDanShan North Peak – 虻彈山北峰 is located behind the Wan’an Riverside park 萬安親水公園. It’s a hike that you should not attempt. For real, I’m not kidding. There is no reason for you to hike this at all. However, if you’d like to learn about my pain to reach this...
