Teapot mountain and beyond Friday hike

We'll take train 4022 to Ruifang. Then the bus to the trailhead at Jinguashi. There's an opportunity to stock up on some of the best Taiwanese breakfast/lunch snacks while in Ruifang.

We'll hike up to, and through, teapot mountain. Depending on the weather and the height of the cloud cover we'll either continue higher up to tackle banping ridge
(https://taiwantrailsandtales.com/2019/11/12/banping-shan-and-teapot-mountain-loop/)or head down to the golden cave.

You'll need a good head for heights, gloves for the rope sections and a warm layer due to the altitude and exposure to coastal winds. Sun and rain protection are recommended.
