Small Group Hiking Day Tour On Qixing Mountain from Taipei

(7 Reviews )

Duration

7 hours

Overview

It's called Qixing Mountain, or Seven Star Mountain, and not just because it's Taipei's tallest (and thus closest to the stars) but because those who make it to its peak are treated to an extraordinary view of the seven peaks surrounding Taipei city. The trail is moderately steep but absolutely worth the climb as it passes through dense forest, grassy fields and volcanic vents that give the area a genuinely magical beauty. We'll stop along the way to rest, stay hydrated, and take photos of the surrounding landscape and the unique creatures (colorful lizards, birds with amazing plumage and more) calling the mountain home. After reaching the main peak, we’ll continue along the trail to the eastern peak, which offers beautiful views of its own before heading back down to the entrance for the ride back into Taipei.
