Hello, I’m planning to do a two-day trek from my home in Xizhi to my girlfriend’s family house south of Xindian. I can split the hike equally into two days if I spend the night in Shiding old street or nearby and the area also offers a few convenience stores to recharge in the morning. Does anybody know a place where I could stay the night and rest, preferably without bringing my own tent? ---

That’s quite the walk! “South of Xindian” means Wulai? Guy ---

It’s not too far from Bitan, I just didn’t know how to describe the area 😀 ---

You can probably get the bus for $30. Might be a better option than sleeping rough ---

I think he’s into the challenge. 😁 Guy ---

Air BnB? Shiding is not a tourist spot. Is there like an old trail you will follow? Or are you planning this like from a map? Taiwan’s mountains are quite treacherous and easy to get lost in. Deaths while hiking are very high this year already. ---

Anything is better than sleeping under the roof of a bus stop, so a good camping spot would do as well. Most of the route follows the 環大台北天際線 trail. If anyone’s interested, I can share the route I planned. ---

I’ve always wanted to stay in Shiding Old Street area to experience dusk and evening and night and mornings and mist and whatever else comes along. I’ve never found a hotel there though. The nearest were generally around Shenkeng or Jingtong. Seems like there is a new building there that might have some type of hotel or something but I can’t find it on Google maps. ---

The only option coming up on [booking.com](http://booking.com) for me is this: **Lohas Gallery Long Stay Hostel** ![image](https://forumosauploads-12829.kxcdn.com/original/3X/9/0/90e4a6f14066d2d7b213f7cec781f2a36f3fc435.jpeg) Not sure if that is close to your hiking route, or not . . . Guy ---

Thank you, I checked these accommodations as well but they would require significant changes to my route, plus they’re a bite expensive given how basic my needs are. Here’s the link to the route @BigDave : [Mapy.cz](https://bit.ly/3cKhZtL). If you’d be interested to join, let me know 😄 ---
