I was looking to do an easier hike after a rather tough hike the weekend prior. The hike to Sandishan fit the bill, but unfortunately my decision to hike further on to Dewenshan&nbsp;\u5fb7\u6587\u5c71 turned an easy hike into something much different.<\/p>\n<p>Getting to the Sandishan trail head is pretty simple. About a kilometer after leaving the village of Sandimen there&#8217;s a road on the left. A car can make it most of the way; a motorcycle can make it right up to the trail head. It&#8217;s a nice well-worn trail, and chances are you&#8217;ll encounter someone along the way.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4194 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/outrecording.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_9099-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.outrecording.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_9099.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.outrecording.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_9099-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.outrecording.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_9099-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4195 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/outrecording.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_9103-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.outrecording.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_9103.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.outrecording.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_9103-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Right off the bat I had a nice view of the city below.

I would like to go back there on my bike one day to see where it leads. There&#8217;s a trail on the other side of the mountain I have ridden, and an abandoned house and farm that&#8217;s pretty close to where this road could lead. I&#8217;m real curious of these link up.<\/p>\n<p>Not long after returning to the trail I came to a &#8220;perfect spot&#8221; to sit and relax. The trail leads to the edge of the ridge that offers what must be a spectacular view of the river and mountains to the north. As my luck would have it, the weather still wasn&#8217;t playing nice. Regardless, the view was nice and there was plenty of wind to cool me off.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4230 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/outrecording.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_9218-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.outrecording.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_9218.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.outrecording.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_9218-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.outrecording.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_9218-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As a bonus, there&#8217;s a &#8220;perfect&#8221; rock for sitting, right there on the edge.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4231 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/outrecording.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_9220-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.outrecording.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_9220.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.outrecording.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_9220-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.outrecording.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_9220-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I would have thought someone had put that rock there if it weren&#8217;t impossible given the location. This spot was probably the highlight of the hike.<\/p>\n<p>If that was the highlight, then next came the &#8220;lowlight&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>As I pushed on, the weather started to change. Clouds rolled in and it began sprinkling a bit. The canopy kept me from getting wet, but I feared it would pick up. I continued on and came across a lot of bamboo.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4233 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/outrecording.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_9224-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.outrecording.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_9224.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.outrecording.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_9224-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.outrecording.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_9224-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then the rain picked up right about when I was getting to a bad spot. I was on a slope of mixed larger rocks, dirt and some kind of flowery plants with stickers that were all over the place. I hadn&#8217;t seen a marker ribbon in 20 minutes. The GPX track I was following didn&#8217;t make any sense given the terrain. There was no trail to follow. So I made my own&#8230;but the going was slow and tough.<\/p>\n<p>At one point I looked over and saw a black-furred animal. It startled the heck out of me! It was less than thirty meters away, standing on a large rock and looking out towards the mountains. It was a black mountain goat. First one I&#8217;ve ever seen! I didn&#8217;t have time to snap a picture though. It turned to look at me, gave a cursory glance, and slowly walked away.<\/p>\n<p>A few minutes later I was stepping between a couple large boulders and my foot broke through and I started falling down within. My feet never hit bottom. Luckily the water bottle attached to the back of my equipment belt wedged up between me and the boulder and helped stop my fall. Whew! I don&#8217;t know how far it went down, but I&#8217;m glad I didn&#8217;t find out.<\/p>\n<p>Not long after that it started pouring rain. This is why I don&#8217;t have any more pictures to show. I wasn&#8217;t about to take out my phone in the rain.<\/p>\n<p>Given the rain and lack of a trail, I didn&#8217;t like my odds of making it to Dewenshan before dark. My choices were either a LOOOOOONG hike back to my bike&#8211;most of it in the dark&#8211;or continue ahead and hope I could find the trail again and pray conditions were good enough to make it to Dewenshan. Except, I had a THIRD option. The road!<\/p>\n<p>I had no idea where that road would lead, but figured it probably came out to someone&#8217;s farm. This option seemed the best, so I turned around and hiked back to the road.<\/p>\n<p>It was dark before I made it to the road, but I had plenty of light. Thankfully the rain had stopped. On my way down I encountered a type of animal trap I had yet to see.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4234 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/outrecording.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_9230-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.outrecording.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_9230.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.outrecording.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_9230-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.outrecording.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_9230-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It was a little creepy to see that on some dirt road leading to who-knows-where in the middle of the night. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>After a good thirty minutes or so I saw a light. By then I had already consulted google maps and was pretty sure this road would lead to a farm. It did. But as I approached, a large dog stood between me and the farm house, barking crazily. I kept my (very bright) flashlight shined in it&#8217;s eyes hoping it would keep it at bay long enough for the owner to come out. I only prayed the owner was home! Thankfully he was. He came out and chained up his dog. But now I worried that he woudn&#8217;t be in a good mood. I mean, here was was coming out of the mountains in the middle of the night disturbing him. Also, I&#8217;m sure that road is his road and I was technically trespassing.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I had nothing to worry about. He was a really nice guy. We chatted about what I was doing there and he told me I could follow the road down to the main road. But&#8230;it would take about 45 minutes to walk it. I wasn&#8217;t about to ask him for a ride, so we bid farewell and I went on my way.<\/p>\n<p>I made it to the main road, which came out right next to the Sandimen police checkpoint. My ride was waiting for me and my hike was over.<\/p>\n<p>The next day I found that this guy runs a restaurant\/coffee shop up there. He also takes people out on small hikes to cut large bamboo from the local trees. My guess is that he uses that trail I found above; the one that led to the dirt road. Given the location of the trail, I can&#8217;t see any other reason why it would be so well used. There&#8217;s just nothing else around there. One day I&#8217;ll go back and find out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff; font-size: 18pt;\">Date Hiked: 2018 Oct 25<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #0000ff;\"><strong>GPX Track Download Instructions: <\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Click the track on the map to see the download link<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<div id=\"maps-marker-pro-23090387\" class=\"maps-marker-pro\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\r\n\t\t\t<div id=\"mmp-map-wrap-23090387\" class=\"mmp-map-wrap\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"mmp-map-23090387\" class=\"mmp-map\" style=\"height: 600px;\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"mmp-chart-wrap-23090387\" class=\"mmp-gpx-chart-wrap\" style=\"height: 250px;\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry, this entry is only available in EnglishSandishan [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8247,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[197,1273],"tags":[710,104,165,81,709,713,38,708,712,224,711],"class_list":["post-4192","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hiking","category-1273","tag-dewenshan","tag-hiking","tag-pingtung","tag-sandimen","tag-sandishan","tag-sandishan-south-peak","tag-taiwan","tag-708","tag-712","tag-224","tag-711"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
