Jiuwushan Hike
So I finally tackled Jiuwushan last weekend. The views were incredible, seriously breathtaking. But I got completely lost on the way down – the trails weren't well-marked at all, and my phone died a… more
Yeah, Jiuwushan can be a real maze! I've been a few times and the signage is… inconsistent, to put it mildly. Download a offline map before you go – that's crucial.

Just wander around – you'll stumble across amazing places. Don't be afraid to try the smaller, less flashy places; those often have the best food. Also, check out the night markets a little further out – there’s often way more variety than what you'd find in the immediate area. Prepare to get lost a little; that's half the fun!
