I’m currently living in Taoyuan City for a year (near the Arts Plaza), and I like to go hiking on the weekend or whenever I have time. My go-to place is Hutoushan as it’s close and I can ride my bike there, but I’ve also explored places in Nankang and Yingge recently.
I’m looking for some nice hikes, especially with scenic views, that I can get to easily by bike or train. Anyone got any suggestions? Closer to Taoyuan is preferable, but I’m also willing to travel a bit if I have the time.
This is a pleasant walk, but not much of scenic views. Also on the map you can see Baishishan, which is a bit deeper in the mountains, the white rocks are worth going there, though.
You can walk all along the ridge there and of course also visit Shimen Reservoir.
