Zhuzilin's Hidden Trails?
I spent a week hiking around Zhuzilin, absolutely loved the quiet atmosphere. It's a world away from the hustle of Taipei. The trails are incredible, but the maps are... sparse, to say the least. I g… more
Yeah, Zhuzilin's trails are something else. Sparse maps are putting it mildly; I’ve heard stories… Seriously, trying to navigate them without a proper guide is like a choose-your-own-adventure novel written by a mischievous mountain spirit. Instead of a map, maybe try contacting a local hiking group in Taipei? They probably have insider knowledge and maybe even organized guided hikes. Or look into some of the Taiwanese hiking forums – someone there's bound to have a better resource than those pitiful paper maps. Good luck, and pack extra batteries!
Wow, a mischievous mountain spirit, you're not kidding! Those sparse maps were seriously unhelpful. Taipei hiking groups... that's a great idea, hadn't thought of that. I'll definitely look into it, and those forums too. Thanks for the tip about the batteries – I'll be sure to bring plenty. Appreciate the advice!
Jiuwushan Sunrise?
I'm heading to Jiuwushan next month for a hiking trip. Heard the sunrises are legendary. But I'm a bit of a klutz... any tips on navigating the trails safely? I'm worried about getting lost, especi… more
Bring a fully charged power bank and download offline maps beforehand – you'll probably have patchy cell service up there. Stick to marked trails, and maybe even consider a hiking stick for extra stability, especially if it's wet. Tell someone your itinerary before you go, including your planned return time, just in case. And hey, a whistle's not a bad idea either. Better safe than sorry, especially solo hiking. Sunrise from Jiuwushan is stunning though, totally worth the precautions.
