Hiking Old Tianmu Trail

Join us for another hike! Daniel and I will be hosting this event.

We will meet at Jiantan exit 1 at 8.30am. From here we will take the bus 616 to the start of our trail. This ride should take us about 20 minutes.

The trail will make a loop. We will pass behind the Chinese Culture University and take us up to Mt. Shamao. It's a trail along the waterpipes that date back from the Japanese era, so combines both history and nature. We can expect to see two waterfalls and some stunning views.

Note this is a hike, not an easy walk! It's about 6km long, with many stairs and about 330m elevation. It should take us about 3-4 hours, including breaks. Make sure you are experienced enough and up for this physically! Some parts of the trail all paved, but some are more like dirt paths. So make sure to wear proper shoes.

We finish the hike back in Tianmu. We will then decide if we go for a late lunch, a drink, or if people prefer to head home. No obligations there.

Important:

• Wear appropriate clothes and shoes for hiking in Taipei weather.
• Bring enough water (recommended 2L) and food for hiking in hot weather for a few hours.
• This hike is organized by volunteers. You yourself are the only one responsible for your physical and mental wellbeing. Never leave the group without informing others and be careful and responsible at all times.
• Be friendly, willing to meet new people and make everyone feel welcome.
• Be flexible if the exact route or anything changes in case of unforeseen circumstances. Go with the flow. :)
• Signing up = showing up on time. Waiting list? Join us next time!
• This event is free. But leaving us a small tip for time and effort is appreciated.
• Make sure you are fit enough for a hike like this. If you're not sure, Google the trail and do research beforehand. *https://www.alltrails.com/trail/taiwan/taipei-city/tianmu-stairs-to-pine-stream-waterfall-cuifeng-waterfall*
