Last year, we were able to reach my goal of doing at least 3 hikes. We did Qixingshan, Jinmianshan, and Guanyinshan.
In January, the weather on weekends wasn’t as cooperative as it always rained so we weren’t able to do any hikes. Luckily, on the first weekend of February, we finally had good weather! We went to Jiaoxi (礁溪) in Yilan (宜蘭) by car and parked at the Wufengqi (五峰旗) public parking lot.
Mt. Sanjiaolun 三角崙山 in Jiaoxi, Yilan (礁溪宜蘭) is 950m above sea level (so says Google) with a total distance of about 11km round trip.
It took us about 6hrs (including our rest/lunch time at the peak). The latter part was really steep and taxing on my (short) legs so they (especially my calves) became extremely sore the day after and even until the next few days.
The views on top were amaziiing though!
After our hiking session, we went to 火山爆發雞 for early dinner. Their food’s delicious and it definitely satiated our hunger from the hike. Another one for the books!
