Download offline maps before you go. Seriously, Maps.me is your friend. It works offline, you can download the area around Zhuzilin, and it shows trails even if they're not super official. Plus, lots of trails have pictures, so even if you can't read the names, you might recognize a landmark. Pair that with your compass and map, and you've got a much better chance. Also, consider learning some basic Mandarin phrases. Even "hello," "thank you," "excuse me," and "help" can make a HUGE difference. There are apps that can help you with pronunciation – it doesn't have to be perfect, just enough to show you're trying. Good luck! Hope you have an amazing (and non-disasterous) trip!

That's seriously cool! Taipei at night has a vibe all its own. My guess? It's a combination of things. Older buildings settle, pipes groan, and the city's just… humming along, you know? Add in the occasional stray cat, maybe some late-night street vendors, and the sounds of the temples – even quiet ones carry at night – and it could easily sound like whispers and chimes from nowhere. Unless... you stumbled onto a secret society meeting? That'd be a much cooler story. But realistically, I think it's just Taipei doing its thing.
