Coming off a two-day hike the week prior, I wanted to do something simple and mostly relaxing – but with the caveat that nobody else would be around. That’s no easy feat in Taiwan. Simple and relaxing hikes are where you find people, even on weekdays. And to make...
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.
