They are familiar with the surrounding environment and can lead riders through the countryside and forests obediently. They are very approachable and are intimate partners for riding.

Take a trail stroll!

Take a trail stroll!

Another zen place in Taiwan is the JIANQING HISTORIC TRAIL! this is a short trail track but it’s a wonderful place to see an abandoned train track. When you visit hear be sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes with grip as it can be slippery. This place has a laid back vibe that makes you want to connect with Nature. It is amazing how nature can take over a place! I’ll be sure to be back here! #mytrip #donnahtheexplorer #taiwan #exploreasia #experiencetaiwan #mytripdiaries #traintracks

A Trail Suitable for All Ages: Linmei Shipan Trail in Jiaoxi, Yilan

Linmei Shipan Trail in Jiaoxi, Yilan, gets its name from 'Linmei Village' and 'Shipan Waterfall.' The trail is 1.7 kilometers long, forming a loop that is easy to walk. Along the way, you can enjoy rich scenery, clear waterfalls, and the undulating terrain of the gorge. The Linmei Shipan Trail is part of the Xueshan Mountain Range, with gentle slopes that are easy to walk. It serves as the watershed between New Taipei and Yilan. Starting from the Caonan Lake Trail, it takes about 2 hours to complete. The trail is lush with moss, ferns, and trees, making it very green and cool. Near the Linmei Shipan Trail, there is a famous internet celebrity spot located on the Shengmu Mountain Villa Trail in the Wufengqi Waterfall Scenic Area, also known as the popular 'Matcha Mountain.' However, the round trip to Matcha Mountain takes 5 hours, so do not attempt it without preparation.

Yilan Matcha Mountain Hiking (Taiwan)

Yilan Matcha Mountain Hiking (Taiwan)

On a rare good weather day in Yilan, I spontaneously decided to go hiking at Matcha Mountain. If you search for Matcha Mountain, you will find a lot of information, but its official name is actually 'Our Lady of the Mountain Trail,' which most visitors don't know. The name Matcha Mountain originated from a Japanese hiker who visited Taiwan and found the mountain's scenery as green as matcha. He then wrote a travelogue in Japan describing a Matcha Mountain in Taiwan, which made the name famous. The hiking trail of Matcha Mountain offers pleasant scenery, with lush trees and perennial ferns on both sides. The changing forest scenery along the way made me unable to resist taking many photos to capture the rare beautiful weather. As the trail gradually ascended, my excitement grew. Every time I looked back, the sunlit trail symbolizing hard work appeared particularly charming, giving a sense of accomplishment. At the summit, I was greeted by a spectacular view, and the vast panorama instantly made me forget my fatigue. The mountain, rich and worth savoring like a matcha latte, was breathtaking! This was my second visit to Matcha Mountain, and different weather brought different experiences. No matter what kind of matcha flavor, I love it all. Finally, as I descended, my heart was filled with gratitude, not only for the beautiful natural scenery but also for the refreshing experience this hike brought to my body and mind. The good weather at Yilan's Matcha Mountain is undoubtedly an unforgettable hiking spot in my heart. I will come again!

Onsen spring in winter! But…

Onsen spring in winter! But…

I have enjoyed my stay in Wellspring by Silk in Yilan, Taiwan. However, it is not up to a standard of a luxury stay based on the price that I have paid. The pros are good location and have decent facilities for hotspring, exercise, breakfast and a happy hour at 5pm-630pm. However, there is insufficient space for the happy hour and people has to stand to enjoy. It is also a little underwhelming considering the price paid whereby there is no service to handle our luggages and the outlook seems like a roadside hotel. Thankfully, the room standard is decent. Overall, it is decent but not worth the price I’ve paid.

walking aimlessly in NANFANG’AO 南方澳

Nanfang’ao is a small town within the Su’ao township. Noted that it is one of the top three major coastal fishing villages in Taiwan and is famous for excellent seafood. we took a train from Yilan to Su’ao Station and then took a bus towards Nanfang'ao. it took around 20 minutes to reach the main area, but we alight along some pitstop to look around. at the main area, there are 2 temples, Jinan Temple and Nantian Temple, to look out for. walked towards the harbour, and you can find many eateries selling seafood. just pop into any shop to enjoy some fresh seafood. a small town which you can easily spend half a day at.
