Jianqing Huaigu Trail

Went there on a rainy Saturday afternoon in late November. There were quite a few other tourists who braved the wet weather to walk the trail. Even though wet rocks and puddles made it somewhat challenging to walk the trail, it was still fairly easy to complete the roundtrip within an hour if one chose to do so. Given the location and altitude, the mountain areas near the trail are often filled with misty fog even during sunny weather whereas one could see sunshine while walking on this trail. Thus the trail is named "Sunny Trail". There obviously was no sunshine during a rainy day but the greeneries took on a shiny, polished, gem like look. Furthermore, several small streams flowing down the mountain side added dynamism to the trail that would be non existent during dry weather. While I had not visited this trail previously, I surmise there would be a lot more tourists during nicer weather which would make it less enjoyable. During my visit, I was able to find moments of peace in between bursts of passing tourists. It was well worth a three hour one way drive from Taipei to visit.

Extremely short trail, but good for taking pictures of you're fitness / experience doesn't allow you to go Mienyue trail. Can see snow in the winter (:

Really misty trail. Suitable for everyone to walk and really beautiful. A must go in Taipingshan.

Very nice place, relaxed.

Very easy trail! Suitable for all ages.
